DP called me a slag

DP and I had a very heated argument a few days ago which I'm not sure if we can move past.

At one point, he said that although 'he doesn't think it' Hmm - I'll never find anyone else and everyone is just going to assume I'm a chav and a slag because I had DS at 16.

Surely this isn't true??? I never would've thought about it like this but now I'm very conscious of it!

So he sleeps with a minor and now years late decides to use it against you to make you dependant on him? Honestly lovely you'd probably be happier without him.

You are not a slag or a chav.

You got pregnant at 16 and he is just as responsible for that. Who gives a toss about what age you had your DS?

No-one who actually respects you or cares about you will be bothered by that fact.

Don't pay that comment any more attention, if was blatantly said to hurt you and play on your mind.

That being said, he clearly does think it. Why on earth else would be say it? In which case, you might want to re-evaluate your relationship with him and find a decent man who doesn't think that of you.

I'll never find anyone else

Well I know a million young mums who have had relationships later on. But regardless, I'd rather be alone than with someone who wanted to make me feel bad about myself so I'd stay with them. It's revolting.

I'll never find anyone else

Well i would put that one to the test by kicking his sorry arse out of the door.
He sounds like a real charmer. He gets his G.F pregnant when she is a young woman and SHE'S the chav slag? Hah!

Ifangyow · 07/02/2019 15:38

And NO, you're not a chav or a slag.
Get some self respect, cos he's not going to give you any.
Sorry, but any man who calls the mother of his child/ren a derogatory name such as a slag just isn't worth the paper that his birth cert is written on.

On the contrary - I would admire anyone who continued a pregnancy at that age and has successfully raised their child. I couldn't have done it.

Your do feels threatened and is determined to keep you in your place.
Just for the record no one would ever think that of you, bro g pregnant at a young age doesn’t make you anything other than a lovely young mother!!

Have you lost some respect for him for saying that? For me it would be a very large red flag, he is not calling you names directly but in a passive aggressive way. You don’t need to put up with it ever. As the mother of his child you deserve his upmost respect.
