Sounds like somthing my OH would say. Very, very poor meant-to-be-complementary-but-quite-offensive.

a) LTB

b) Kill Him

c) demand a take away, a hot bath, wine and chocolate as a form of apology.

phantomnamechanger · 13/08/2013 19:34

d) return the "compliment" - what can you think of to highlight/exaggerate/pick on

how about "ta for the snog DH, just like a proper slobbery old man that was"

Tell him his ball bag is as saggy as a pensioner's.

phantomnamechanger · 13/08/2013 19:43

Oh God I just remembered DH before he was DH (and he nearly wasn't after this comment) once referred to my curvy size 14 form as "nice and plump"!

PLUMP FFS!!! that's the ruddy-faced farmhouse wifey in the famous five books, matey.

PLUMP!! indeed.

I was gobsmacked into silence, reader.
But he must have picked up the vibes cos he never ever said it again.

urtwistingmymelonman · 13/08/2013 19:44

I did ask and he couldn't really explain what he meant.
what an extremely strange thing to say.
the weirdo!

Is he usually into that whole cougar thing?

urtwistingmymelonman · 13/08/2013 19:48

lol picnic.
I actually said to him'have you got a thing for older women then?'

OP posts:
urtwistingmymelonman · 13/08/2013 19:50

and his ex is actually 8 years older than him:/
that's only just occurred to me.
should I be worried?

I was just thinking exactly the same about your paunch, dear.

minibmw2010 · 13/08/2013 20:54

I wonder of he was trying clumsily to tell you he didn't like the underwear you had on, he thought it frumpy?(Is it ?? Smile)

urtwistingmymelonman · 14/08/2013 06:19

maybe that's it mini.
hes a typical G-string fan and these were nice pretty white frenchies.

OP posts:
NewAtThisMalarky · 14/08/2013 07:29

Why be worried? It sounds like he's unlikely to run off with a younger woman!

He prefers a 40yo to a 30yo. As there is no way you will be 30 again, surely that's a good thing?

Okay, I admit, I'm trying to find a positive spin. I'd be pissed off too!

countrymummy13 · 14/08/2013 07:34

Check his Internet history and you'll probably find he's been looking at granny porn!! Grin

fluffyraggies · 14/08/2013 07:42

If you were 25 i'd be more worried but you're 35.

Only 5 years off 40 anyway Confused

You wont change that much in 5 years! Who mentioned pensioners?!?!

If he'd said mmmm 50/60 year old bum it'd be more odd IMO.

urtwistingmymelonman · 14/08/2013 07:58

mmm.id rather have my arse compared to a 26 year olds though to be honest.
who wouldn't?
granny porn? eww!
