My very good friend has a new-ish boyfriend; they’ve been seeing each other for a few months. I’ve only briefly met him a couple of times before and he seemed nice. We were at a party the other night and about half way through the evening I was talking to him while my friend was chatting to some other friends, or in the loo or something, when he said to me “If I wasn’t attached and you weren’t married, I’d be all over you like a rash”. It was right out of the blue and I was so surprised I didn’t really know what to do or say, and I laughed nervously then blurted out “Like a tramp on chips?” (I guess trying to make light of it) then made my excuses and went to talk to someone else.
It’s been really bothering me since. I told my DH the next day (he couldn’t go to the party). He hasn’t met the boyfriend, and was not impressed by his comment.
AIBU to be really bothered by what this man said? If he was just a randomer, I would’ve ignored it, but as he is my friend’s boyfriend I feel really uncomfortable about the inevitability of seeing him again, and what to say when she asks me “What do think of him?
