So dp and I have had a few days of work it's been lovely. I aranged to meet a friend for coffee today. It's A coffee turns into wine friend which dp knows. He has someone he worked with who has been going through a tough time I never this met person but dp invited him to our home today. No problem to me told dp would be home later maybe a bit sqiffy as always with coffee wine friend. Get home about 8ish dp here with friend. I havnt eaten so whip up quick chicken tray bake for us all. as I am cooking can here dp friend making remarks about me being out today and being squiffy. Also just chatting got the feeling he thinks women have there place he is from a diffrent culture and older and I have tolerated this in the past from others when i shouldn't have. We got into discussions and it got heated as very degrortyry to women and me. dp did stand up for me. I am tolerant and accepted it' down to upbringing and culture but he went too far as in dismissing my dds at uni and there futures. I lost it and told him to leave my home now. dp could see how angry and upset I was. The thing is he lives the other side of London and he was meant to have stayed the night. He had a drink so was a bit drunk. But I feel I would have let myself and my dds down if I had let this man stay. dp showed him out and told him to go.it's a long way home for him

Well done OP!

We had a similar situation with a relative of DP's, who made derogatory comments about me working and having a career and aspirations and that DH should be supporting me while I basically stayed home and popped out babies.

I told him that as my salary that he so disapproved of paid for the sofa his arse was currently plonked on, as well as the roof he was under, he could relieve himself of the distasteful set up and get the fuck out of my house Grin it was so satisfying.

You were concerned about how the poor thing could his way home. Note that he was not the slightest bit concerned about coming to your home and insulting and disrispecting you and your daughters.
Well done for kicking him out!

YANBU and I wish more women would do as you did and not take this shit. I do find myself wondering if he "has been going through a tough time" of his own making ...

You did exactly the right thing. Pat yourself on the back. As PP have said, if he's so sure about being the superior sex he's going to have no trouble getting home. If he were a pathetic wussy woman it would have been a different matter. What a creep!

I dont know of any 'culture' which advocates being disrespectful or downright rude to their hosts when they are being wined and dined.

Culture isnt an excuse, he is an arse whatever culure he is from.

Well done for kicking him out, having a few drinks is no excuse either. You do not insult your hostess and host or their family while you are a guest.

Maybe he will think next time before hes spouts his mysoginistic crap.

You definitely did the right thing, how dare he. He can't be going through that tough a time if he has the mental energy left over to spout crap like that.

I've put up with a lot of street harrassment from creeps like that in the past (not in the UK, though) and it's good to hear of one being put firmly in his place.

Your home, your rules.
