The ick = game over?

I'm dating this guy and sometimes he says completely innocent words or phrases that make my skin crawl and completely turn me off him and I'm genuinely thinking about ending it. So petty of me but I literally can't get past it. Defo gonna die alone at this rate 😂

Anyone else get the ick over the most minor things?

To be fair, it’s not all the same bloke 😂

I wonder if it’s mainly women that get the ick? I’ve had it loads of times, mainly over petty stuff and it gets worse as I get older. I’ve never heard a man say anything about the ick but maybe they have but just haven’t told me 😂

These are fantastic! Loving this thread.
Here is my contribution (not all the same bloke, but all exes)

saying ‘cheese and bickies’

talking in a peculiar high pitched voice when pissed

pronouncing yoghurt as ‘yo jurt’

tartan shirt

noisy leather jacket

pointed shoes

leaving toilet pan in an indescribable state

hairless chest - completely smooth

skiddy pants and robe (where he’d sat in it with bare bum cheeks spread )

only dating a week or so, but thinking it’s totally fine to break wind loudly in front of me and to tell me that he’d got caught short on a long trip and took a number 2 on the side of the road and wiped himself with a map. Seemingly hilarious 🙄

looking back on these, and reading yours makes me realise that being single for three years isn’t at all bad really!!

Eugh!!?? What the f. Cheese and bickies eugh!!

Dating a rugby player. Went away for the weekend so was obvious we were going to DTD for the first time. So before this I had the full shag MOT to prepare … pedicure, vag wax, sexy undies etc . Got in the room after a glorious night of flirting and I’m fully expecting a right royal rogering and he whispered in my ear in a baby voice “cuddles?”. 🤮🤮 it’s like a switch in your brain immediately clicking to off . We dated for a short but I never recovered from that ick.

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 23/06/2022 13:49

An ex once asked me "are you feeling randy, Mouse"? (his pet name for me). Yukkety-yick.

pastypirate · 23/06/2022 21:46

I've just remembered. Exp took me on holiday which was lovely but insisted on taking pics of everything with his bloody 360 camera thing. It was fun for the first 5 minutes. The camera took priority over everything.
We nearly missed our transfer because he was taking 360 pics of the inside of the bathroom in the hotel.

I hate my ex now so it's easy to pick out the ick worthy things he did, can't believe I stayed with him for 4 years though 🤮

  1. he referred to having sex as a 'rattle', so would say things like 'Dan took that girl home the other night and rattled her 🤮'

(I actually told him straight away that I hated this and he stopped saying it.)

  1. he simply couldn't fathom that some straight men just aren't into sport. They must be gay, according to him.

  2. when we bought our house and started living together he said we didn't need to buy loo roll, because he just shakes after a wee and only poos at work.

  3. linked to the one above, we were at my parents house and he was having a wee while I was brushing my teeth, and I catch him shake his dick over the floor!!!!!! At my PARENTS house. I'm actually pissed off with my younger self because although I was shocked and told him off I said it in a bantering way and laughing, because he looked so guilty from being caught!

  4. he was so lame when he got drunk. I remember being on holiday and we're walking back to our hotel and I hear a noise and realise he's just pissing along the pavement as we're walking 🤮 then he spent the entire evening lying on the floor in the hotel moaning about how sick he felt and how he couldn't cope and was gonna die bla bla bla, like some teen who'd overdone it for the first time.

I am honestly ashamed at putting up with those things! Never a-fucking-gain!

My exh used to reference all sexual encounters in a way which made them sound like rape/assault

NosyJosie · 26/06/2022 03:24

I live for these “happy bday to the best daddy and my best friend” Facebook posts as one of my acquaintances is married to THE ickiest rich-but-immensely-fat-and-oily man ever and every time she puts 34 pictures up it reminds me that being single is better than being married to Dave.

SlouchingTowardsBethlehemAgain · 26/06/2022 14:07

He licked the plates after dinner.

I can think of a few ICK personified husbands of people I know 😂🤮

I used to go out with someone who was tall (about 6 ft 4). This is fine except he was weirdly proud of it and shoehorned how tall he was in conversations about completely different things. I think he’d had too many older relatives make a fuss about how very tall he was.
