So boyfriend of a year ate his toastie from the plate by holding plate to face and pushing sandwich in, no hands. I cannot therefore unsee this.
Tbh our sex life is , let's say, poor at best. This has really finished me off. I'm having the massive ick.! Regale me with your equally dire stories!

I'm sure Dadsnet or the equivalent have had such threads over the years!

My ick was breaking up with someone because of their lack of ability to hail a taxi when we were walking through town. Icks aren't rational and even now I judge myself.

This is another example I've written about before on threads such as this one:
He was alright until he put on some ghastly checked jacket which I hadn't noticed up until then. He then walked ahead of me along the street, jacking flaring and whistling loudly 'here comes the sun'. I thought 'no sunshine for you mate, in that jacket'. Dumped.

Has anyone written an academic paper on the evolutionary psychology behind the ick I wonder?

Irrespective of the clothing the whistling would have made me so enraged , I hate whistling so much and it’s always men that do it. Always 🤬

That response is such misogynistic bollocks.

Do you seriously think that a woman can’t possibly enjoy sex, football or a drink for her own sake? Or that all women MUST want children?

You genuinely believe that I’m just feigning a high sex drive, a fondness for a drink with my friends and a life long interest in football just to impress men?

I’d really love to know why you imagine a woman can’t be capable of liking these things in her own right. Am I supposed to be at home baking cupcakes every evening with a baby hanging off my tit 24/7 and recoiling from my partner’s touch, or something?

She didn’t say any of that…

You felt you should respond to ‘some men (only like)…’ with ‘not all women (like the opposite)’.

Of course, that’s true but how is it relevant except for a poor attempt at justifying some men being one dimensional.
