AIBU to think my OH is a complete twat?!

So I’m 6 months pregnant and we all know insecurities come with being pregnant. None the less my “classroom clown” OH still loves to make comments on other women on the telly and whatnot... it’s half said in jest but it’s often enough that I just roll my eyes and tell him he’s annoying. His most used phrase is “I’d fold it” to pretty much anything with a pulse. Don’t get me wrong we have quite a jokey relationship and don’t take too much to heart. But today he has waaaay overstepped the mark.

I messaged him on Instagram showing him a celebrities story as they were doing a really cool giraffe feeding thing with their kids saying “wow isn’t this amazing, id love to do this”. His response was “do you wanna know what I wanna do”... I said “no, safari?”

Then the next thing to come through was a photo of a girl off the telly on a trashy show in her underwear. He’d mentioned she “was a bit of him” last night.

AIBU to think it was so unnecessary, disrespectful, insensitive and down right rude. I am livid. And I told him so. Did I get an apology? No. Instead I was called a boring c**t for not finding his joke funny.

I’ve been on and off in tears all day since.

Please tell me I’m not overreacting or being hormonal?

And the nastiness is just disgusting.

If he has said he wont do it again, hopefully now you have told him it hurts you he wont.
On paper he does sound like a nob, but tbh, if you have always accepted him like this, even laughing off the hurtful remarks, he has just carried on regardless.
Marriage is a learning curve. You have found you actually dont like to be spoken to like you dont matter.
He now knows it hurts you....good luck for the future.

I'd find that incredibly disrespectful and distasteful. YANBU

He sounds like a teenage boy. Is his “sense of humour” always so mindless? He’s treating your more like one of his bloke friends than his 6 month pregnant wife. And surely he can tailor his shit jokes to take into account that you’re not feeling too brilliant about your body right now?

He also sounds a generally vile man. He called you a cunt just because you wouldn’t laugh at his jokes? Wow. He’s going to make a spectacular father.

That's not funny Confused DH wouldn't say that to me.

I should probably stop making similar jokes though! I'm also six months pregnant and last night I was eating Lindor chocolates and dropped a few wrappers, missing the box.

DH got up to pick them up and said "There's quite a few wrappers on the floor, babe!"

To which I may have replied "Well if Eminem's down there..."

He wasn't impressed 😂 but anyway, YANBU

He sounds of low IQ. I wouldn't out up with anything he says at any time. O wonder why you do?
Oh it's just a joke. Is it? Is it though? He sounds like prime cheating material.
Lucky you

He wasn't impressed no wonder, theres nothung to be impressed about Confused

BirthdayKake · 25/04/2019 07:03

Whisky2014 it's just a saying, obviously I wasn't trying to actually impress him, I don't need to try to do that, and vice versa...

Candleglow7475 · 25/04/2019 07:06

What a charmer eh? Calling you a cunt is the icing on the cake.
He sounds like a Randy teenager who’s just discovered his cock.
Honestly I’d read him the riot act over this.

MashedSpud · 25/04/2019 07:11

He’s a sexist, immature wanker.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 25/04/2019 07:15

I don't actually know what the comments "I'll fold it" and the like mean, but the way you describe him makes it sound like you are dating an immature 6th former.
I have never been out with anyone who has commented on other women in front of me and if someone called me a cunt that would be it.
You really need to reassert some boundaries here, I hate disrespectful behaviour dressed up as jokes/banter.
Get some self respect back sweetheart. I hope you are ok.
