Any coming back from this ick? Really like the man

This is a terribly awkward one but I don’t think there’s any coming back from the ick I am currently experiencing! The man I’ve been dating for about 3 months and really like sent me a photo earlier, except it wasn’t intended for me. It was meant to be sent to some of his mates in a group chat they have. They share particularly disgusting, um, ‘doings’ from their bathroom trips. I replied with a hmm emoji and he then deleted it and was really apologetic, but I have the major ick now!

Is there any coming back?!

That’s grim! No thanks! And are you sure it was an accident?!

Yes sure of it, he was mortified!

Is he 12?

ForSnappySwan · 07/06/2026 20:49

Sounds funny - I wouldn't be too bothered about it

Ha, no he’s in his 30’s.

No there’s no coming back from an ick.
Whenever you look at him you’ll see that log and be reminded that he’s a teenager in a man’s body.

i sent a photo of a massive poo I did to DP the other day. Sorry

Gloriia · 07/06/2026 20:52

Omg no 🤮, is this a thing do men share shit pics? Surely not.

Run for the hills.

TomatoSandwiches · 07/06/2026 20:52

There's no coming back from that, never.

Why?!

parietal · 07/06/2026 20:53

Just put it entirely out of your mind and concentrate on the good things about him. You know people use the bathroom, that isn't a surprise. he is dumb to share photos, but that is all. so if you want the relationship to grow, just pretend you never saw the picture and concentrate on other stuff.

Fatiguedwithlife · 07/06/2026 20:53

Gloriia · 07/06/2026 20:52

Why?!

Maybe because we both work in a field where weird gross things are normalised. It’s only a poo

KerryWeaversSpecs · 07/06/2026 20:54

Bleurgh. It would a be a no from me.

outerspacepotato · 07/06/2026 20:55

😶

People are weird as fuck.

Sorry. Ick. Ew.

CamillaMcCauley · 07/06/2026 20:55

Couldn’t get past that myself, to be honest.

Bertiebiscuit · 07/06/2026 20:55

Just be grateful you discovered what a juvenile idiot he is in good time, so you don't need to waste any more of your precious time on him

Plasticdreams · 07/06/2026 20:55

Shame he did that. I couldn’t fancy him after seeing that. If perhaps he had to take a photo for medical reasons, I would be more understanding but the fact him and his friends find it funny is the thing that would give me major ick.

'Its only poo' 'weird gross things' . Make ya mind up.

No need to take a pic and share though fgs.

It's only for shits and giggles, don't worry 🤣

Fatiguedwithlife · 07/06/2026 20:57

I wouldn’t send it to anyone else 🤣
can’t get worked up about it tbh. It’s not a kink or anything

Jenniferrr · 07/06/2026 20:58

I mean I’d be reconsidering my 20-year marriage if DH sent me something like this… not a chance would I see the guy again if we were just casually dating 🤢

TheSlantedOwl · 07/06/2026 20:59

I would laugh probably. And never let him live it down!

Might not be for you. But there are people who kink that way. Maybe he was testing OP out...

Exactly that. There are worse things it could’ve been for sure!

Cleocaterpillar · 07/06/2026 21:02

Yeah right, it wasn't an accident! He was testing to see if you're into it.
