Partner’s revealing phone call with best friend

I went on a couples evening out last night for some drinks (nothing wild, it started and ended early!)

My partners best friend (who we went with) called him earlier. I was pottering around doing chores and I don’t think my partner realised I was in earshot. Anyway, he asked his friend what they did when they got back as they were on about getting a takeaway. He must have asked my partner the same question as I heard him say ‘gave the missus a good seeing to then went to bed’

We were intimate, and he’s told his friend. I don’t want to say anything incase he thinks I was knowingly listening in, but at the same time I want to tell him I’d rather he didn’t speak to his friend about me like that.

Would you bring this up?

This wouldn't bother me, unless it was part of a wider pattern of similar behaviour that I was concerned about.

I’d say I’d overheard and was unimpressed. Totally inappropriate to talk about you like that. I’d want an apology and an acknowledgment it shouldn’t have been said and it won’t happen again.

I mean personally it wouldn’t bother me if my partner said it. But it does you, so tell him you overheard and would rather he didn’t say that.
