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

Same.

I hate cats.

There. I said it.

I love it when threads like this make miserable people implode.

I vote Gollum!

Used to date a LOTR fan. For his 25th I asked him what he wanted and he made me watch the whole thing. Sack the LOTR freak off and get a normal one. Even Star Wars is preferential.

I don't think you read the post properly if this is your interpretation. There's nothing in there that suggests the new girlfriend was involved in the discussion, and the conversation with the OP didn't happen in front of the others.

I can't see what's so wrong with the OP's partner saying that the hobbit nickname was teasing her. My husband and I have a joke about his short arms being like a dinosaur's, but I don't think he'd be devastated to discover that I don't want to fuck a T-Rex.

😂😂😂😂
Seriously?
Grown adults talk like this?!

Every time someone takes a post like this seriously, a kitten dies

What have I just read. How old are you all?

Why not?!!

I haven’t! Not my thing at all.

Why are you flooding the thread with stupid computer answers?

Thanks! Things I didn't know (although I love Speed.)

If it's any use here's what Greta's alleged qualifications are: "Why she’s like Frodo:

• Took on a heavy symbolic burden (climate crisis) at a young age.
• Faces enormous global scrutiny and opposition, yet stays focused and morally unwavering.
• Has sacrificed personal comfort and normalcy to advocate for something far larger than herself — like Frodo leaving the Shire."

Makes me wonder a bit how much both Greta and Frodo 'sacrificied personal comfort and normalcy' and how much they were happy, at certain points, to get away from 'normalcy'.

Thank you for the new crush!

Ignoring the piss takers, I think your partner was a dick OP. He's basically saying you're not his type, which would be hurtful to anyone.

Did you actually read the post properly?

The friend referred to his new gf as an Elf (tall, traditionally regarded as beautiful etc) The ops husband congratulated him. Friend said "I thought you loved hobbits (clearly referring to op - short, cute but not traditionay regarded as beautiful) Ops Husband basically said No Way, I'd much rather have an Elf... When confronted by op, instead of apologising, he continued to embarrass her by saying oh yeah I never really meant your pet name in a cute way, I was taking the piss. Really classy 🙄

Don't pretend it's not insulting just because the terminology is based off their shared interest that you don't happen to highly regard.

The sentiment and disrespect is just as bad as if he'd said oh mate I wish I could bag a supermodel like you, not like old shorty over there...

I wonder if he calls her his precious...

I'm 5ft 1 with dark blonde hair and a round face, and my DH fancies Sigourney Weaver. But it doesn't mean he doesn't want me.

Jesus, neither is remotely appealing!

He's got a long-term partner who has grey hair (similar age to him) rather than half his age and multiple divorces. He doesn't seem to have 'stories' follow him around about his behaviour either.

Greta being compared to Frodo perhaps isn't a flattering comparison tbh.

You’ve made hobbit your whole personality is perhaps the best insult I’ve ever heard

This is like me getting cross because DH married a Ferenghi and then congratulated someone else on bagging a Klingon.

It's not a better comparison, because they weren't actually talking about OP, or even the friend's girlfriend (and no-one went up to this woman and told her how attractive she was). They were talking about which fantasy characters they'd prefer to fuck.

He incorporated you into the thing he loves and the only group you really fit in are Hobbits if you are short but don't have a beard.

Calling you an elf would be silly if you are obviously not tall and slim.

It doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
It just means that while you fit in the smaller group that are best described as Hobbits, you are the exceptionalyl attractive Hobbit, while most of them are not attractive due to features you don't have (aka large hairy feet).

The fact he found a place for you in his fantasy world is a compliment.
He's hasn't said you are Uruk-hai or Gollum (both also short).
Those would be insulting.

It's not "childish" FFS she's overheard her husband basically say "oh mate you lucky sod, you've pulled a super model and I'm with that" AND instead of apologising for embarrassing her, he doubled down and declared he's spent (I assume) years, not affectionately calling her a pet name based on a shared love of a particular book (that is a well regarded classic, for all the people making shitty "childish" comments, btw) but actually just... Insulting her for being short. Even though he is also short.

I'd be really hurt and angry at this @UnhappyHobbit .

Well he did good with Sandra Bullock. And the busload of randoms.

For the record, ChatGPT says: "Why he’s like Frodo:

• Known for humility, kindness, and generosity despite fame — almost Shire-like qualities.
• Keanu has experienced deep personal loss yet carries himself with quiet dignity and resilience.
• Avoids the spotlight when he can, much like Frodo retreats after his journey, wounded but wiser."

I knew none of this. Any fans care to comment?

What really interested me was ChatGPT's inclusive and hopefully feminist suggestions of Greta Thunberg and Malala Yousafzai in its six suggestions.
