To think DP is a dick with all his ‘connections ‘

[LovingMyDarkAndStormy]

Been with DP for a few years. He’s great but a class A dick.

He ‘knows’ a lot of people - famous people. It’s got to the point that literally every programme we watch - he knows someone connected with it.

It’s either an actor who is one of his DCs father/mother.
His old road he lived in is featured in the film/programme
He bumped into them the other day
He went to the premiere off ..

I’m a bumpkin

I only ever served Maggie Philbin a bra when I worked as a Saturday girl in M & S

He’s a bore

& he corrects me with my pronunciation

Today I said ‘pale’ wrong (he asked me how it’s spelt)

&

To top it off I have to meet his family (first time - they live overseas) over the weekend.

They are famous. I’m the brassy, inappropriately dressed bumpkin

Was he best man at Mollie Sugden's wedding?

His parents may be famous but seems they raised a rude, ill mannered bore. He sounds charming.

I am thinking - hot pants, see through top with mis coloured bra underneath & some stripper heels.

Are you posting on your own thread, OP?

How do you both pronounce 'pale'?

Really, why have you put up with this dicksplash for 'several years'? Is he stunning to look at, or very, very rich or something? I doubt he's wonderful in bed, because unpleasant people very rarely are.

Have you previously been bullied or abused, or somehow given the idea that you are worthless and must have a man in your life to order you about? Are you, by any chance, younger than him by a good few years and initially attracted by the 'sexy older man who knows famous people' rubbish?

He's a bullshit artist and a bully. Bin and move on.

He wants some dinner from a recipe book EVERY night. ( sorry rubbish example of how he is)

Who cooks these cook book meals?

I'm intrigued to hear examples of how good and kind he is.

The answer to this ^^ is what we’re all waiting for.

Is your dp jay from inbetweeners ?

I don't think I do love him

I'm not surprised, he sounds an utter tool.

What are your options for getting rid of him before the parental visit?

oh and I'm guessing you say "pay-ul" and he says "pail".

It’s either an actor who is one of his DCs father/mother.

Nobody else curious about this? How many children does he have? And how do some of them have another father?

*How do you both pronounce 'pale'?

My DH would pronounce it more like ‘pell’ than pale. He can’t make the -ale sound so that it’s distinct from -ell. Think it’s a West Country or probably Bristolian thing, his mum’s the same.

I'm pretty northern and we do a good line in unnecessary syllable insertion.

Do you say payull?

My DP says barth. What a dick!

Like halfwitpicker I'm wondering who cooks these meals from a recipe book every night. Doesn't he know any celebrity chefs who could come round and rustle something up for you both ?

Maybe you say it with a W at the end - like pay-ow?

He sounds like a dick, btw - next time he tells you he knows someone famous, tell him you used to shag them Every single time. The weirder the better :)

The Mollie Sugden thing made me chuckle. Which reminded me of...

Guess who Percy Sugden from Corrie's BILs were?
YES! The Chuckle Brothers.

That is true and is my fab fact.

Notthepail surely it's pay up to rhyme with wha-yul. I have a Welsh ish accent and I cannot say these types of monosyllabic words without the Yul in them.It doesn't make anyone a country bumpkin. This man is belittling and you deserve better OP

I bet OP's DH knew that though.
And knew them.

@getshitdone I wondered that as well.

some people say "pile" and lose the "L"

Thus "pie of wa'er"

Oh Zebra 👏, bravo!

I cook from a cookbook most nights 😁

My dh has lots of friends who went to drama school in the 1980s.

I've been married to him for 20+ years.

Next time Linus Roache or Alistair McGowan are on tv and he says "Mary went to drama school with him" I am going to bash him over the head with a frying pan, I swear.

"It’s either an actor who is one of his DCs father/mother." What does this even mean? And why is it that almost every post on here has stuff that makes zero sense? Is this the 'progress' of iphones?
