I'll preface this by saying I grew up with grandparents where emotional abuse was present. I was witness to a lot of nasty belittling comments growing up and something my partner said today upset me.
We've been together six months and just had our first holiday together - 8 days, the most time we've spent together. Overall it has been really lovely and we've rubbed along very well together.
Now partner is foreign but his English is very good. We ordered takeaway lunch and he went to get cutlery, drinks etc, while we waited for the main food. I went in to pick up the food and grabbed another cutlery set while there as I recalled he only brought out one.
When I came out and put another set of cutlery on the table he said with a smile on his face 'are you blind? I already brought the cutlery'. It turned out he ordered something to eat with your hands
I felt shocked and hurt by his 'are you blind' comment. I told him that was incredibly rude and hurtful. He said he didn't realize and that he thought British people lightly rubbed each other sometimes. He said the translation to him wasn't rude. AIBU to think this is bullshit?
We had such a nice time and I felt it was a nasty comment.
