It’s a LOTR one. I feel so upset over my DHs comment about elves.

Better a Hobbit than a Troll, tbf.

Yep, I think you’ve been married to an Orc and only just realised.

I’d tell him that you had rather hoped to land yourself an elf as well, but feel deeply aggrieved to find he’s turned out to be a Mordor Orc.

Sorry op but your post has me CRYING with 😃laughter

He sounds like an awful tedious twat.
You have every right to get the total Ick for this twatty little manchild.

Get rid of all of the hobbit stuff and decide if a twat like him is really what you want.

He actually embarrassed himself.

As others have said who you end up with is more than just superficial attraction and "types" I think most people have more than one type as well.

When I look back at the guys I fancied or briefly dated in my teens or at uni and look at how they turned out, the state of their personal lives I thank my lucky stars I never ended up with them. They were good looking and exciting but pretty much all of them went on to have commitment issues lasting until now (late 40's), develop addiction issues, or were abusive to their long term partners. I can see they wouldn't have been right for me.

I'm not trying to say every attractive person is a train wreck but that actually working out together long term is more than just physical attraction, its about compatibility, shared values and goals, as well as some degree of physical attraction and romantic spark.

Wrong on so many levels @UnhappyHobbit.

• Gives you an uncomplimentary nickname mocking your height
• Calls you it in front of others
• Discusses women with his mates as physical ‘types’
• Tells his mate he fancies women like his new gf
• Tells his mates he ‘wouldn't touch’ women like you
• Does this while you’re there (though still disrespectful if you weren’t)
• When you let him know you found it disrespectful, adds insult to injury saying you’ve assumed the personality of a Hobbit (presumably meaning simple, parochial and food-loving, rather than kind, loyal and brave)
• (Apparently) doesn’t reassure you when you ask why he’s with you if you’re not his type.

YANBU. I wouldn’t play along with these nicknames any more if he uses them as veiled insults.

Tell him to grow up or piss off to Rivendell and see how he gets on there.

Do hobbits go in huffs?

I can see why it would be somewhat demoralising - it’d be like if he’d always said he fancied Kylie and you were a tiny blonde then suddenly he was all about the Linda Evangelista types or whatever (showing my age). I am slightly concerned about the ‘made it your whole personality’ thing. Does he mean you’re ripping the arse out of it? I can sort of see what he means from the update. It started as a in-joke, it was meant as a in-joke and now it’s a defining characteristic of your relationship and deadly serious? I’d be feeling a bit pressured.

Looks like YABU is back on the menu, boys

I was always strangely attracted to Klingons when I was younger.
Had such a thing for Worf 🤣

Sorry OP, but . . .😂😅

Seriously????? The pair of you need to grow up!

i would question your dh and his friends commitment to LOTR. They are not true fans. Very basic thinking that Elves are the pinnacle of desirability.

Everyone knows that hobbits are the best, far superior to elves (as a pp said they are stuck up and aloof). Gandalf loved them and in the end it was hobbits who saved middle earth. Give me Sam gamgee over Legolas.

This is surely a joke?

So basically, OP, you thought him calling you a hobbit was affectionate but actually it isn't and he thinks hobbits are undatable. Nice.

You need to ask him why he calls you that and why he is with you when he thinks your type is not what he wants. He needs to apologise.

I’d close the door on him and post a notice “you shall not pass!”

Surely the only reply to him would be ´you are a lesser son of greater sires´ or possibly 'I was there the day the strength of men failed´

At least you dont have a beard
'this gives rise to the rumor that there are no female dwarves....'

How old are you? You need to grow up; the whole thing is ridiculous.

This is what I thought. He wasn't talking about you. He presumably does touch you so it's clear he wasn't speaking about you! (although yes, given his pet name it was thoughtless and insensitive of him). And that's why he's said what he did about making it your whole personality, because you are actually seeing yourself as a hobbit, and he doesn't.

Actually it's the woman in this scenario that's taken it way too far.

Jesus Christ, just when you thought you’d read it all on here … someone comes along and complains that their DH prefers Elf’s to hobbits

Glasses back on. THIS is the correct answer. Tho the remark about Gandalf's staff is a good follow up

The other woman he was talking about isn't a celebrity though, it's his mates girlfriend who was in the same house when he said it- i don't think many people would find that the same as having a conversation about someone no one is likely to ever meet.

OP a lot of people on here are miserable and can't comprehend some people have interests that involve literature or films, their sneering is clouding a lot of the replies, maybe one day they'll lighten up.

Only he knows what he truly meant and you know him better than any of us do; to me I'd read it that he's a bit embarrassed not by you but at the fact his mates also know you as hobbit and now know this new girlfriend as an elf. I can see why you're upset, if he treats you well outside of this I'd chat about it and try and move past it and cool off from the hobbit stuff a bit.

Ignore above - quoted the wrong post! oh dear!

This is the correct answer.

Loved it!
