The ick = game over?

[Ella28_]

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?

I also had sex with a guy who cried after he'd orgasmed, every time. I couldn't get passed it at all.

@sammylady37 that is horrifying. I’d feel the same!

also still sporadically laughing at the one who had a fantasy about his gran 😂

That'll be the peri/menopause coming to get you.

I know! I still see him sporadically and I cannot get it out of my mind every time I do!

(see him as in just meet him at large work events, not actually see him as in date him!)

I was thinking the same here but it’s 36 years together… how do I return him?

I’m a church goer and after several months of a relationship took my boyfriend to my church (he went to another church, so not a foreign environment). Realised he was completely tone deaf…Ick! Totally unreasonable but I broke up with him almost immediately after

So many different senses at play. If he doesn’t smell “right”, ick. Too stubby fingers, I don’t care how big the rest of your hand is, ick. Shoes (smart ones) where the toes point upwards even slightly, ick.

Once went on a date with a man who my brain thought was delightful and I can’t name a single thing wrong with him, he reached over the table and touched my hand to admire my nails and my whole body screamed ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I look at my ex now and think “huh?!”

Omg this thread is epic/horrendous in equal measure 🤣🤢

Lol but how did you know…unless your eyes were open too?

i would have made it a staring contest, see who backed down first 😂

Yup.. I can get the ick over anything..breathing eating walking laughing . It is my way of knowing I am not that into someone... its unfair and unpredictable but its just natural for me ..

Qn ex used to smack my bum, even though he knew I hated it. Just so patronising

My OH say “ soy” for “C” and Mondy for Monday.
Drives me crackers

Only a first date but met with guy for coffee. He ordered hot chocolate with cream. The cream started running down the side of his cup, which he was scooping up with the spoon, took his first mouthful and ended up with a cream moustache but carried on talking while either not realising or pretending it wasn't there....

Serious ick for me although seemingly innocent...

I started texting my brother who promptly phoned me with an emergency 😬

OMG 😳 🤣🤣🤣

We went for a walk around a park. Wakes slowly and chatted, maybe 30 minutes that a toddler would have done with ease… at the end he says, with a real feeling of pride in his voice: ‘wow, I didn’t think we’d make it but we did!’ 😳

Once a dated a guy that wore trainers with army pants and i felt should of been better with walking boots or something. This was before trainers and jeans are worn with smart jackets like now.

I was like Ick , he looks silly as hell…..gotta be like bye

An ex pulled up his socks and they were thick horrid cheap nylon socks. Nothing really wrong with that but it made my skin crawl. Had to go.

Don’t know why.

How did you know?!

I get the ick all the time with my partner and we've been together 10 years. Is there really no going back? 😩
I feel bad even posting this but it's the constant licking their lips for me and playing with their ears. Apparently it's a comfort thing from chilhood. It seriously goes through me sometimes and I always feel bad it gets to me so much.

Lol the little things, Iv been with my guy ten years over too and suddenly his clearing of his throat he does for no reason whatsoever drives me nuts! …. I’m like, Jesus….why! No thing wrong with his throat. lol

I've got the ick with a male work colleague.

1. The shape of his head, too round, and the pattern of swirls his hair grows in.
2. The way he eats, too emphatic and sloppy - shovels a big forkful in and then seems to be overwhelmed like a damsel in distress to chew it all. He also enjoys really awful, beige food.
3. Tucks his shirt in his trousers over his paunch.
4. Cagoules.
5. His voice is too soft, and he's got this Hugh Grant thing going on where he splutters and acts really confused every time you ask him something.
6. Stupid little hairy fingers.
7. The angle of his nose, which he upturns as he pauses to take in and tries to answer the most basic of questions.
8. Just constantly flustered over the most basic things, like how to use the coffee machine.

None of these things are a crime, but I think it's to do with being put in the mummy role to an adult baby that makes me feel repulsed.

See I'm red faced now as I'm guilty of this. My only excuse is I've worked in the primary/EYFS sector for over ten years so certain phrases become habit 😥DH doesn't seem to show any signs of the ick though so maybe I'm ok 😅

@Yolojo that's hilarious 😂😂😂 the angle of his nose really got me 🤣

🤮

Oh god yes, the following around... And the indecision ... the "I don't mind" response to everything - what do you fancy for dinner, where shall we sit, what restaurant shall we go to. I use to deliberately choose a table with an awkward seat for him to get into

Copied what I did - if I opened my car window, he would immediately open his; if I sang along to the car radio, he would start whistling. On holiday I went onto the balcony to put sun cream on so I could see my reflection in the doors and not miss bits in my shoulders etc - he went and put his on out there too, but clearly didn't know why I'd done so.

Slated people for lack of education and would then get something grammatically wrong himself.

Nail biting, or rather skin-biting because there's barely any nail left after years of chewing them.

Didn't seem able to take a reasonable length of stride; I'd swear his step count was almost double mine. Never tried to walk "in time" with me if we were holding hands. Couldn't bend down easily for some reason - instead of bending at the waist to get something out of the oven, he'd kneel in front of it.

Wore a beige pensioners bum-bag/document wallet type thing on our first holiday.

Whistled as he went to answer the front door.

Took his stuff in an Asda bag for life on a weekend away.

Ick ick ick ick ick

Fucking hell, that was cathartic!!
