friend's husband is a misogynist cunt

Bumped into friend and her H yesterday. I've had babies at the same time as her so we're close and we see them frequently and live close so we bump into them a lot.

Got the following email from her H this morning:

Nice to see you yesterday. I just wanted to say congratulations on losing your baby weight. You look great - i was impressed. I have told (friend) she needs to exercise more post (DC1) and (DC2) as you know she naturally puts on weight at the best of times but she used the pregnancies to eat whatever she liked. Typical her.

What a patronising shithead. This is everything wrong with men. Do women go around saying "congrats on trying really hard with your small dick. I know it's naturally small but you've had the sense to know you can mitigate some of that by pumping a bit harder." I am boiling with all sorts of replies. What would you say?

Seriously?!! I am Shock his poor wife what a prick!

user1492759984 · 21/04/2017 18:32

"I know how she could lose about 12 stone in one go"

AnyFucker · 21/04/2017 18:32

Are you in regular email contact with him ? Hmm

I would forward it right back to his wife

Mummymoanasaurus · 21/04/2017 18:33

Is he trying to have an affair with you? What a dickhead! Your poor friend, just why would someone do that?

Domino20 · 21/04/2017 18:33

What the actual fuck?! Poor wife.

SmileEachDay · 21/04/2017 18:33

SmileEachDay · 21/04/2017 18:33

*D) he's a cunt

Angrybird123 · 21/04/2017 18:34

Wow. Well it depends how confrontational you want to be but he's an utter utter cock so anything from 'fuck off you unbelievable cockwomble' to 'i appreciate what you are trying to say but it's deeply inapprpriate and disloyal to your beautiful wife who has put her body through 7 kinds of hall and likely permanent changes to give YOU two children. Now fuck off 😊😊

luckylucky24 · 21/04/2017 18:34

Twat.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 21/04/2017 18:35

Ewww. I'd feel sullied.

Tell him you didn't lose weight to impress him. Far from it.

Emma1609 · 21/04/2017 18:37

What a weird thing to do - is he flirting with you?!

mumofthemonsters808 · 21/04/2017 18:38

What sort of man thinks he has the right to message his wife's friend and comment on her body, what a dick he sounds. Then to proceed and put his wife down by mentioning her weight, outrageous.

You know what, I don't think many men would do this, I don't think it's normal behaviour.

SmileEachDay · 21/04/2017 18:38

And I'd def copy wife in on reply. Poor her.

TheProblemOfSusan · 21/04/2017 18:39

That's always the old standby - email back...

"Dear (dick head),

Did you mean to be so rude?

Yours, etc,
Leaf.

PS I think your wife is amazing and must be an incredibly patient woman. "

Theweasleytwins · 21/04/2017 18:39

He sounds... Delightful

MiltopMighty · 21/04/2017 18:40

Jesus, poor her.

I'd send it to her.

PurpleMinionMummy · 21/04/2017 18:41

I wouldn't reply. I would forward it to his wife telling her to ditch his pathetic arse.

Sounds like he's trying to see if you're up for anything, flattering you whilst slagging off his poor wife.

Trixiebelle16 · 21/04/2017 18:41

Reply -

The only extra weight she needs to lose is you. You could be a man and support her, praise her and respect what her body has been through but you have naturally used her pregnancies as a reason to bully her and undermine her behind her back. Typical you. If you email me again I will assume you are happy for me to share the contents on Facebook. Let me tell you nobody will be impressed.

purplecoathanger · 21/04/2017 18:42

I would say "I can't see anything wrong with * but you've got something seriously wrong with your mouth"

I actually said that to a friend's husband!

Obsidian77 · 21/04/2017 18:44

I might reply, copying her, saying it looks like a troll has hacked your email account, obviously I know in real life you wouldn't ever send such a repulsive, disrespectful, misogynistic email...

jelliebelly · 21/04/2017 18:44

WTF - he's coming on to you and slagging her off at the same time!

Don't reply but I'd be tempted to go round there or phone and rant!!

Astro55 · 21/04/2017 18:44

fuck off you unbelievable cockwomble

That kind of sums it up for me

Strokethefurrywall · 21/04/2017 18:44

What Trixiebelle16 wrote. But copy his wife in.

Poor woman being married to such an arsehole.

Fragglez · 21/04/2017 18:45

My first thought was that he is trying to come on to you.

Ok that was my second thought, my first was that he's a fuckwit.

he's a count Grin

newtlover · 21/04/2017 18:49

I like Trixiebelle's reply, I really wouldn't copy his wife in that's unkind.
However, YABU to use 'cunt' as a term of abuse. That, IMO, is misogynist.
