My boyfriend of 1 year and I went to a little family gathering last night for the new year. I’m nervous of dogs and the dog kept coming over and sniffing round me (as dogs do). I said to my boyfriend about it and he said “that dog knows a bitch when he smells one”

I think I'd have got up and walked out. In fact I'm sure I would because I'd have had to be scraped off the ceiling. He'd be history.

WTF have I just read?!

If a man said that to me he’d be wearing his drink. Fucking nasty arsehole. I hope you’re dumping him today?

I’m more than happy to be poked fun at and me and DH have banter all the time, but that comment would have made me very angry OP.

Yes, it would bother me a lot. My DH has never called me a bitch.

That is a horrible thing to say. Get rid.

This is Mumsnet, what sort of replies do you think you're going to get?

Not that it needs saying but I'll bite anyway (pun totally intended) "No, you're not being too sensitive".

Ummm yeah, no. I would be so taken aback if my partner said that and I would be thinking seriously if I wanted that kind of man in my life.

What a horrible comment. You are not being too sensitive, he was astonishingly rude and unkind. I would dump him for that.

That would bother me. What a nasty thing to say!
