DP putting his foot in it when meeting my friends for first time

I moved away from my hometown a few years ago for work, so don’t get back often. However I met up with friends over the weekend and introduced them to my DP. He rather put his foot in it, but swears it was nerves and he meant nothing by it. To not be too graphic, he basically told one of my friends that his ex would ‘allow’ a specific sex act at Christmas and on his Birthday. I wasn’t part of said conversation, but my friend told me and he admitted it. My friend said it was barely relevant to their conversation. Would you give him the benefit of the doubt if he’s otherwise been a great partner? Or do you think it’s a sign?

Was there a lot of drinking involved in the meeting, it sounds like daft talk after a few.

He’d had a couple of pints at that point but was driving so that was all.

10 months give or take

Nah, that’s time to say goodbye.

And make sure your friends know you dumped him.

I would have been so grossed out and kept a close eye on how he treated my friend.

WTF.

Asshole move

Your friends will dislike him because he's a perv asshole

How long have you been together? If he genuinely is great in all other ways I could let it go but I would be clear it’s not acceptable. And I’d be keeping an eye on things for the foreseeable

The context appeared to be about my friend being so full to do anything over than want to nap by the time Christmas Day evening comes around. DP then made the comment about what he’d do at that time. Really odd I know

Bit weird! Has he given a wider context to the conversation, to put it context

wtf that’s so icky , who gets nervous so decides to come over all pervy.

If it was relevant I'd still find it really fucking odd because why is he thinking about sex with his ex lol. But the fact it wasn't relevant ? Gross tbh 🤮
