For context, been together nearly a year. I have a 2 year old DS - he is not the father but he is great with him and DS loves him. He is generally a very kind, reliable man. However, he says stupid things sometimes and I try to ignore it. I have had doubts for a while but not sure if it's me and don't want to throw something great away, but equally, am getting to the point where I need to make some decisions.
Anyway, last night he said that if everyone involved in porn just agreed to to not market to children, and only to serve content to adults (by every porn site having a .xxx suffix), we would sort out all the problems. I was unable to let this lie (as it's NONSENSE) and it turned into a disagreement. His point was that men running porn must be family men and they can't make money from teenagers so he was sure they wouldn't really want them as customers. Mine was that it's an utterly corrupt industry that has no problems exploiting anyone for money and I don't think they give a shit about what they show to young boys and girls. Plus that's not really how the internet works.
Then this morning, talking about a cafe who said breastfeeding women should use the toilet, he said that if someone who owned a cafe didn't want to see someone breastfeeding, that was their choice, that breastfeeding was probably illegal in public years ago and the cafe owner would just get less customers. I didn't actually react to this one except to ask if he had ever seen newborn who needed feeding (he hasn't).
Is this me - should I let this stuff slide? Am asking in AIBU for the wide range of opinions so am donning my hard hat in case I get flamed!
