“Getting the ick” is a modern way of describing those little (or not so little) things one’s partner may do that are just major turn-offs. Often it’s associated with petty, personal preferences, but there are folks out there who’s behavior is so gross that it’s a wonder anyone dated them. Someone asked “What’s the most disgusting thing a partner has ever done (or didn’t do) and was it a deal breaker?” and people detailed their worst stories.
Normally, a list like this is a great thing to enjoy over breakfast, but in this particular case, be warned, it gets gross. Otherwise, get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own tales of woe in the comments below.

Dated a girl one time. 3rd date she soiled her pants.
It didn’t occur to me just how clingy she was. I thought I smelled something foul while we were at the mall but figured it was someone’s baby.
It wasn’t until we were back in my car and I noticed that the smell was now strong, so I checked my feet and asked her to check hers when she let it slip that she soiled her pants.
At this point, I was expecting a fart gone wrong and a little escaped.
No, she told me that she didn’t want to leave my side but couldn’t hold it anymore and hoped I wouldn’t notice.
At this point, I knew this relationship was OVER. An accident I could accept. Birthing a mud monster in your pants because you didn’t want to leave my side for a few minutes is way too clingy for me.
The phone calls every day didn’t bother me. The long chats didn’t bother me. Her wanting me to come over all the time didn’t bother me. It was a lot, but not suffocating. This though? This tells me the moment she gets access to any of my electronic devices, she’s going to scour them for any traces of any other girls and lose it when she finds something. I have a few female friends that I chat with, nothing serious, mostly former coworkers that I share interests with.

My ex didn’t shower regularly when we first got together. One time it was a hot summer day and I was spending the weekend with him. He had the fan going and the window open. He was just in a t shirt and some loose boxers. Every time the fan turned and it flowed it my direction it smelled like hot garbage. I told him, I know it’s hot but I think we need to close the window, it must be garbage day and it smells horrible. Like it’s making me nauseous. He was upwind and I was downwind…you see where this is going.
He turns to me and says “garbage day was 2 days ago” and right then I realized it was him. I told him he needed to shower now or I’m leaving. He got better about showering regularly over time.

I went to college with a guy and he invited me over to his dorm room for movies and dinner. He was making us burgers that night. Before preparing the food, he had just gotten out the bathroom after being in there for 20 min. I heard the toilet flush, but then the door opened. He didn’t wash his hands. When I saw that I started to grab my things. THEN he then went directly into the kitchen. After not washing his hands, he proceeded to grab some cheese. The cheese had green small spots on them. It was beginning to mold. He told me it was good since it was small, and STILL USE THEM. I don’t remember what I told him, but I ran out of there.

Not really personal hygiene, but, still…..
My (ex) husband and I are nurses. He started out (as many of us do) on an inpatient floor. He would come home after a 12 hr shift, walk to the cabinet, crab a sleeve of cookies, walk to our bedroom, and with shoes and scrubs on, lie on the bed and eat the cookies off his chest.
Bed bugs. Bed 👏 bugs 👏 . Scabies. Maggots. Bruh.
To others nurses…. Y’all would understand. I don’t think the typical person knows how much bodily fluids we get on ourselves through a shift.

I dated a girl briefly about 10 years ago (both in our mid 30’s at the time). She was a former model and still looked great. The first night that we were intimate, I went down on her and holy hell I almost puked in her bed. I didn’t want to embarrass her so I kept going. When i couldn’t take it any longer, I went to the bathroom and tried to get that awful taste out of my mouth any way I could.
Fast forward about a week and she contacted me. I didn’t want to move forward with a relationship but felt I should talk to her. I explained to her what happened that night and she nonchalantly told me that she had an active yeast infection! I told her that it was pretty messed up that she chose to not tell me about it and allow me to go down on her. Needless to say, the lack of communication (and hygiene) was a dealbreaker for me.

I was laying on his chest and noticed that his belly button had a thick, black layer of gunk so thick that you couldn’t see any skin inside his belly button. I will never forget the day. He also would go weeks without washing his hair cuz it “styled better when it was greasy”. Sorry but to this day, he still disgusts me and I wish I could tell him.

In my past life (college), had a guy I was dating come visit overnight. He stayed for three days, totally unplanned, just laid up in the room while I went to class. He didn’t bring a change of clothes, a toiletries bag, nor did he ask for a shower. I went to school in the city and he had a car so we were surrounded by stores. Also, he only lived 20 minutes away 😂so it’s wasn’t a desperate stranded situation either. I asked him to leave bc he would have just stayed there laying around. the fact that he was comfortable being that funky and ALSO didn’t have anything to do for 3 day was 🚩 🚩🚩.

I married a man who had bad breath often and it only got worse after we said our vows. I realized he didn’t brush his teeth properly, he never flossed, and he used mouthwash with alcohol in place of brushing sometimes, when he did brush it was usually first thing in the morning and he had sweet coffee right after, so his teeth never got a break. He claimed he inherited bad teeth from his mother. I tried for years to gently push him to practice better oral care but he refused. It still makes me laugh now, he thinks he’s so amazing because he makes decent money, but his breath is horrendous and I love knowing he’s out there making people cringe on a regular basis, it smells like garbage water and feces and it permeates the air around him.

A guy wasn’t brushing his teeth every day and it grossed me out so bad I couldn’t kiss him and just broke up with him. Please, brush your teeth ppl and use soap EVERYWHERE!!

This isn’t nearly as bad as other stories on here, but I dated a guy who wouldn’t wash his feet before getting into bed at night. Wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t work outside all day, every day, rain or shine. The bottoms of his feet would be nearly black with dirt and he would hop into bed like it was nothing. It was so, so disgusting.
ETA: he would wear adventure sandals most days (chacos, keens, etc), so those feet got dirty dirty.

My ex had a recurrent athletes foot infection, and after his second reinfection he gave up fighting it (that was before we met). By the time we got together he’d had it for years, to the point where many of his toenails were affected. It was so bad that it took months of treatment for it to go away (after I got on his case about it and told him he HAD to get rid of it). Oh and also there were white stains on his black quilt that he hadn’t washed for what must have been months.

I have dumped no less than three men in my life for not cleaning their bathrooms. It’s not enough to clean yourself if the room in which you do so looks like it’s sponsored by Staph Infections R’ Us.

I got into his car after he spent the night and he started eating old fries that were left in his car. I found it gross, but didn’t break up with him because of it.

Oh god this sub scares me my ex wasn’t the cleanest he never smelled too bad but he wouldn’t shower for 3 days or so and he smoked so yeah. Now my bf showers twice a day longer then me sometimes and actually always reminds me to brush my teeth at night even when I get sleepy 😂love him for that. Also I used wipes here and there but I was so pleasantly surprised when I moved in and he’s alwyas got wipes stocked on the back of the toilet.

Among a plethora of horrendous habits like not cleaning his beard after dropping food in it and not taking a bath for a few months (there was no intimacy after I found out he wouldn’t clean his clothes even after the smell became horrid,) there was one thing that just sealed the ick deal. He had a plastic insulated coffee cup with a lid that had a plastic straw in it. He believed that he shouldn’t clean that cup no matter what because the bacterial buildup would inoculate him against colds and flu. I think that he was partially right. He didn’t see too many people daily, usually his mother once every 6 months and the convenience store clerk where he bought his ciggies.
I couldn’t stop thinking of coffee cheese harbored in hot cars.

My ex had/has swamp feet, couldn’t understand when we were intimate and he took his boots/socks off that I became extremely nauseous.
