On holiday. Middle of the street. Wearing a strapless top and DH pulls my top down (no bra, he knows this)

I feel v disrespected

Typical drunk bloke behaviour. I wouldn’t be offended personally

How on earth were you brought up? Father? Brothers? Male friends?

men are idiots, especially on the drink, it's the sort of thing my OH would do thinking he was being funny

personally I would repay the favour with his shorts when he is about to jump in the pool

No, it’s the type of shit British men would do. Pretty much everywhere else in the world men wouldn’t do this as the norm. British people have a problem with alcohol - the men for how they behave and the women for how they enable that behaviour. It’s not normal or ok in most other cultures.

If you feel your relationship is worth saving, much grovelling and apologies need to take place...

ConstanceM · 17/10/2024 22:39

That's assault. It's neither funny or clever. Major Red flag. Leave

LetsSeeHowFarWeveCome · 17/10/2024 23:07

If ANYone else did that to you, OP, everyone would be calling it sexual assault. Which it was.

I'm sorry he did that to you.

Sexual assault. In public.

Quite.

What a disgusting specimen

Awfeckoff · 17/10/2024 23:28

I really wish that when male posters comment on a thread, it would appear in a different colour.

Floys90 · 17/10/2024 23:29

CommonAsMucklowe · 17/10/2024 21:52

Exactly this.

Thanks a lot.

You haven’t heard about Russian men?

wizzywig · 17/10/2024 23:33

I'm sure he is a great dad...

Daisymae55 · 17/10/2024 23:35

There’s far too many people dismissing this as “drunk male behaviour”.

It’s really not. It’s dickhead behaviour, not typical male behaviour

my DH gets ridiculously drunk and has and would never do anything like this. None of the men in our friendship circle would

I’m so sorry OP what a horrible thing to go through. His behaviour is disgusting and don’t think I could stay with someone who did this to me

Have you asked him why he hates you so much to want to humiliate you? With or without an audience because you felt mortified and embarrassed that is humiliated.

@Floys90

I would only advise you to listen to what you feel, and then act accordingly .

This doesn't happen with the men in my life. My husband, father, brother, uncles, friends or teenage son. No male I have a relationship with would do this.
It's not a teenage thing as my son would never ever do this, it's a growing up "surrounded by people who think this is fine" thing.

There are many many people, men and women who will consider this within the realms of normal. As past posters have said there's been talk of pulling down boxers, pushing into pools, kneeing in the nuts. They don't think it's a major thing and as long as they give as much as they get it's seen as ok.

Personally I don't think it's my place to tell these people how they should feel. I won't say that they need more self respect because I know what I need to do to live in my life, and presumably they do in theirs.

However if you feel that this was wrong, as I think you do otherwise you wouldn't have written this post, then that means that you aren't happy surrounded by this sort of behaviour.
Depending on how your husband is as a person will depend on how interested he is in whether you are happy or not.

Hence why I said “most” other cultures.

He doesn't love you. If he did, he would have never dared to humiliate you. Choose yourself OP

SharnGee · 18/10/2024 08:34

People who are saying the marriage is over are u mentally stable

fussychica · 18/10/2024 08:36

I read this to my DH he said "OMG, LTB". I think that sums it up!

Jack80 · 18/10/2024 08:37

He is a idiot, explain how he made you feel. I hope this is an isolated incident
