To be mortified by what DH said in Tesco

Dh was unloading the trolley and discovered two packs of san pro in there, he shouted across to me " why are you buying these, you're 62 you had the menopause yonks ago" then he said "OMG you can't still get pregnant can you?" and looked horrified, the poor young lad on the till went bright red and the couple behind DH looked burst out laughing , I managed to splutter "they're not for me they're to put in the food bank box with other stuff" the fact that he had blurted out my age, and the fact that I have been through the menopause and the fact that we still have 'marital relations' in a crowded store went right over his head and he now wonders why I am not talking to him - I cant go back into Tesco now can I?

Ouch I'd be mad too.

Of course you can go back to Tesco's. You might have trouble justifying staying with a complete twat, though.

Battleax · 02/01/2018 21:53

Wow. How long have you had him? Does he do this kind of thing a lot?

GreenTulips · 02/01/2018 21:54

Is his name Phillip?

Eatingwormswithwine · 02/01/2018 21:55

Try and see the funny side!

Loonoonow · 02/01/2018 21:55

He was crude and rude but I doubt anyone in earshot was surprised that you are menopausal or that a menopausal woman still has sex. I would definitely go back to Tesco, I doubt anyone there gives a shit one way or the other. I would question whether it is worth staying with such an unboundaried and unpleasant man.

TripleHomeBirth · 02/01/2018 21:56

This is the kind of stuff I say to my GF to embarrass her. But the difference is we laugh about it and she gets me back just as good!

If you weren't ok with the joke I would be having serious words warning him not to do it again.

But Then if you've been with him a long time surely you know his sense of humour and hes done this before or was it out if the blue?

Allwashedup · 02/01/2018 21:56

He sounds a complete knob.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 02/01/2018 21:57

Eh? I remember exactly the same thread from a while back Confused
Certain i’ve read this on here before.

Chilver · 02/01/2018 21:57

Revenge is sweet - next time I'd call out something like 'ooh, darling, do you think you should see the pharmacist whilst you're here? Remember you wanted to talk to him about the problems you have, you know, like getting and maintaining an erection?'

(i wouldn't have the guts, but would be intersting to see how he reacts)

Aspergallus · 02/01/2018 21:57

Should have said, "they're for you, noticed you are starting to dribble after you pee, nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just your age"

Roystonv · 02/01/2018 21:58

No need to be embarrassed; cheered everyone up and you were supporting the 'food' bank!

Bananalanacake · 02/01/2018 21:59

On the plus side those who heard know you are caring enough to give to the food bankSmile

PurpleCrowbar · 02/01/2018 21:59

Sneak some condoms in next time. Loudly shout 'what have you got these for? You KNOW you haven't been able to get it up in years!' whilst brandishing them?

I mean, personally I'm not embarrassed by San pro so I'd let it go, but if you did want to get your own back...?

ClaryFray · 02/01/2018 22:00

In my relationship that would be funny, but we rip in out of each other regally.

But if he's crossed a line then he was being an ass!

thatstoast · 02/01/2018 22:00

Since your were worried about me getting pregnant i got some condoms for us - EXTRA SMALL!

The answer should have been well no, which is a good job I wouldn't have given your sperm much chance given you failed biology or something similar.

As someone's said his name isn't Philip and your name isn't Elisabeth is it. I think older generation men do find this sort of stuff amusing give as good as you get, the queen clearly does.

Either that have words that he embarrassed you, he'll probably be mortified that you didn't find it amusing, and won't do it again
