The ick - how to break things off

Just this weekend I've got the ick with a man I've been casually dating for the last 6 weeks. We finally got round to dtd over the weekend, but for reasons I won't go into we didn't. What a let down. He could get it up, so that wasn't the issue.

There were some other things too - poo related 😳 And I'm just not feeling it.

How do I break it off gently? Dwindle text communication so that he gets the idea? I don't want him to think this is just sex related. Life is so busy at the moment too and I just cba, I'd rather stay single.

OP you tease!! Was the poo and sex issue related? Don't ghost. A text is acceptable after 6 weeks if you can't face a call, but do let him know. Not ok to leave someone hanging

StormingNorman · 23/06/2024 23:11

F for the poo story.

If it makes you feel better, I dated a skidder. He left a skid mark on my lovely bedding AND did a horrific fart during a BJ. Then I dated one who left marks in the loo the first time he stayed over.

😱

PrimaDoner · 23/06/2024 23:15

What happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣

StrawberryWater · 23/06/2024 23:26

Oh you can't just dangle a poop story like a proverbial clinker and then not tell us!

What happened? Did he poop himself? Leave a streak in the bed? Skids? The smell of an unwiped bum as you pulled his draws off? Come on op tell us!

He left a skid mark on a bedsheet didn't he?!

That would be a no from me.

🤣👍
Its probably that he doesnt wipe properly and she went down south...🤮

Rebusmyfire · 23/06/2024 23:35

I'm already feeling the ick. No explanation required. Tell him you are poo-tling on and farewell.

LadyLolaRuben · 23/06/2024 23:40

OP I'm guessing your non-response means you may have been pretty disgusted. It's only been 6 weeks, you owe him nothing, send a text ending it.

Kumquaat · 23/06/2024 23:42

This thread is shit

HornyHornersPinger · 23/06/2024 21:38

Ooh you can't do that!! You've got to tell us what happened 🤣

Cliff hanger 😂

Oh God 😂

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 24/06/2024 00:06

No matter what you say he'll think it's because of the sex thing, and he'd be right. Instead of a fade just break up with him.

Opentooffers · 24/06/2024 00:14

I'm going to guess can get it up, but either goes limp or refuses to wear a condom.
The poo part, no idea, but I'd hope it's no worse than leaving clingons in the toilet bowl.

SnowFrogJelly · 24/06/2024 00:29

🤣
OP come back and fill us in!

Shan5474 · 24/06/2024 00:33

I also want to know the poo story! No don’t do a slow fade, you’re not a teenager who can’t communicate and going quiet isn’t kinder than ripping the player off. Just say he’s a great guy but unfortunately you don’t feel you’re compatible, he didn’t do anything wrong and you wish him the best for the future. Don’t reply to any replies, job done

Clueless2024 · 24/06/2024 00:45

Dear Bob, it was great meeting you, but I'm not feeling a spark. All the best, Jane.

Then block

Icantbelieveitsnotnutter · 24/06/2024 00:48

He snapped and sharted???

JFDIYOLO · 24/06/2024 00:56

POO. RELATED.
😶

CalicoPusscat · 24/06/2024 01:10

Well, it's poomania over here.

Text him OP, keep it neutral but clear.
