When a scene came on in a film with a man smacking a woman around the face and her falling and "d"p said (that's right, slap the bitch round the face, put her into her place) I then refused to watch the film and haven't been speaking to him since as he got pissed off and said I'm a feminist and it's just "nature". He's such a prick.

How do these absolutely abhorrent men end up with women? He sounds like an absolutely knuckle dragging cunt!
Leave.

Lovethetimeyouhave · 08/12/2018 20:32

When I got with him he was wonderful. Now he's just mosogynistic, grumpy and horrible. I hate coming back to him. Today I got to remember what feeling relaxed and happy felt like. Then it was back to being with him. And "you need to be a size 8 before you come away with me". Fuck him.

My ex used to say things like that and it's one of the main reasons I left him.

Lovethetimeyouhave · 08/12/2018 20:33

All said in the name of "jokes" and "context" of course

It seems like this is the straw that broke the camels back OP. Are you unhappy in this relationship?

Do you have anyone you could go and stay with for a few days just to clear your head?

Would you be okay money wise if you were to leave with DC?
Thanks

Any bloke that uses the term feminist as an insult is a prick without even mentioning the other shit. I would be out that door as soon as I could.

HavelockVetinari · 08/12/2018 20:34

Normally I'd advocate counselling, but it really doesn't sound like he'd listen if he's that wedded to 1950s ideology. I really think you need to issue an ultimatum here, he stops being such a sexist twat or he leaves.

imatheendofmytether · 08/12/2018 20:35

Just leave

Don't wait till he's taken your soul too

Elphie54 · 08/12/2018 20:35

Really wish there was a trigger warning on this.

Maelstrop · 08/12/2018 20:35

What a fucking twat he is.

DarcieStarlight · 08/12/2018 20:36

With the whole rape story line happening on Eastenders at the moment, my partner said "well if you are going to go out and dress like a little tramp and throw yourself at men pissed out of your head, then you are...." and I interrupted "what? Asking for it?". He soon shut up but I knew exactly what he was about to say and it actually really upset me that he had this opinion. It's made me change the way I look at him since. I'm sad that the man I fell in love with has this vile attitude to rape victims.

Ah does he claim it’s ‘banter’, that’s the last hiding place of the cunt.

You know that you want us to all say leave the bastard because you know that’s what you want to do really, you just need it confirmed.
Leave the bastard.

Jezebel101 · 08/12/2018 20:37

Don't give your son that for a role model. Lose the extra weight, everything will feel lighter.

And just in case it's ambigious, he's the extra weight.

Stompythedinosaur · 08/12/2018 20:40

He sounds absolutely horrible.

If he is in favour of domestic violence, then you are not safe with him.

He speaks to you like he hates you. He thinks you should have a worse life than him. He tells you he thinks it is ok for men to hit women to force them to "know their place" I.e. that they accept serving them.

Honestly, leave him. It will be the best thing you ever do.

EtVoilaBrexit · 08/12/2018 20:42

What would worry me is the fact he think slapping a woman, aka YOU, in the face is ok.
Assuming he has never been physical with you, it would make me wonder if he might become physically abusive tbh.

Lottapianos · 08/12/2018 20:42

'Just leave

Don't wait till he's taken your soul too'

Spot on. He sounds unbelievably awful OP. Do yourself a huge favour and end it

Bluntness100 · 08/12/2018 20:43

How many times do you need to post about this man op, how bad does it have to get for you, when do you get to the stage you stop saying you have to leave and actually do it, instead of making his dinner for him again,

NotScrewingUpNow · 08/12/2018 20:48

Sounds like he could potentially hurt you if they're his views.

Bluebell878275 · 08/12/2018 20:49

I'd be asking him why he doesn't think he should be feminist? Can he actually comprehend what it means to be feminist.. because he's putting his own sex backwards if he doesn't.

Ellie56 · 08/12/2018 20:49

You deserve so much better than this vile knob. I would dump him.

Miscible · 08/12/2018 20:52

Dump him, first thing tomorrow.

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 08/12/2018 20:52

Am I right in thinking you've posted about him before? He's an emotionally abusive twat. He's not going to change. You need to get out of this relationship or your DS will grow up thinking this is an acceptable way to treat women. There's nothing wrong with being a feminist, OP. Men like your 'D'P are the reason we need feminism!

bellie710 · 08/12/2018 20:52

First post, can be excused could be said as a joke depending on the situation. 2nd post he is an absolute twat!!

FlossieTeacakesFurCoat18 · 08/12/2018 20:53

There are no possible redeeming features that would make it worth staying with the twat you describe. Please do yourself a favour and leave. You'b be better off being single forever than with someone this nasty.

HestiaParthenos · 08/12/2018 20:57

I don't know any more. Every day I get sicker and sicker with it. I need to leave.

Yes, you do.

I am reminded of the quote:

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
― Rebecca West

You will probably be called a feminist by other men, in the future, considering that you express sentiments that differentiate you from a doormat ...
