The Ick

[Isrhisavalidusername]

Tell me about it?
Can you work past it? If so how?
I think I have the Ick, I have an awesome OH but how do I know if what I'm feeling is the Ick or not.

@kgal3542 to be fair, looking at the men she chooses I can quite understand her getting the ick with them. Or possibly the other way round is it???

I think the ick generally speaking is when you go off someone completely. Looking at the previous thread and my own experience. It's generally at a young age and round about the 2 Yr Mark. When you are very young I think you're just going for a nice person who you are physically attracted to but you don't really think much beyond that. The ick is a way of telling you things you hadn't noticed, perhaps they have a completely different outlook to life or want different things for example. I think being irritated with a DH is different that's maybe more what's going on in Yr head whereas the ick is more gut and you just have to finish it. Of course when you are dating, younger it's much easier to dump thank God.

The ick is when the thought of them touching or kissing you makes your skin crawl. The ick is your body’s way of telling you this person is not the right romantic partner. The ick is the body’s way of telling you the relationship is over. You can’t nor should come back from it.

Can you imagine how you would feel knowing your partner had the ick for you, but continued with the relationship for other reasons ? Usually financial / lifestyle. You’d feel used.

Oh the ick is. Also when their seemingly harmless personal traits irk you & turn you off. The irk is the death knell of a relationship !
