To think her comment was just unnecessary?

I met one of my partner’s female friends today for the first time and one of the first things she said was:

”oh this one (him) as ALWAYS been such a Casanova. I hope he’s going to pay me not to tell you some of the stories, because you won’t like them!”

Needless to say, everyone else at the table went very quiet and one of the other people even told her it was inappropriate.

We laughed it off. He’s in his 40s and we all have a past. But what an odd and unnecessary thing to say to someone’s new partner!

(I know partner is an unpopular phrase here for newer relationships. I’m too old for “boyfriend” so you’ll have to forgive me).

Not ok at all. What did your partner make of it?

Weird, I’d see her comment as trying to sabotage the relationship. Do they have “history”

Yeah, she wasn't averse to causing trouble, was she?
