My boyfriend just called me a dog

So, me and my boyfriend were just sat at my kitchen table, eating the food I cooked, and my BF had only given me two slices of chicken. I asked if I could have a bit more and my boyfriend slapped a couple of pieces of chicken on my plate and said 'here's some more scraps for the dog'. I've totally blown up on this comment and my boyfriend says he didn't mean it, says stupid things without meaning it etc. We've had a bit of alcohol lol. I really want him to leave but he's refusing because he left his car here and there is parking restrictions on my road in the morning. Who is being unreasonable please?

Calls you a dog, and has form for driving home pissed......that’s bad in itself - he could kill someone

Do you really want to be with someone like this?. Well do you?.

You're siding with him @cdtaylornats ?

There are so many red flags within such a short space of time. You were right to be upset and kick him out. Ignore the manipulation, just lock the door behind him and never let him back in your life. People say and do stupid things when drunk. But calling a woman a dog and everything that followed aren’t just pissed ramblings. They’re the markings of an abuser. And I’m guessing not the first you’ve seen in him. Let them be the last and don’t settle for anything less than total respect in future relationships.

You're right, it's not the first time he's done/said things like this and upset me. But he blames his lack of education and lack of communication skills and so I feel sorry for him and give him another chance.

It’s not really relevant what was said, you asked him to leave, it’s your house. He should of just left. I know ppl are saying to quick to call the cops, but I would if I wanted some1 out of my home and they wouldn’t leave

My boyfriend and I call each other things all the time - but obviously in a jokey way! I think he called me a cow the other day (don't remember why but there was context to it), I just looked at him with a completely straight face and made a moo sound and he cracked up! Are you sure it wasn't meant like that and you both just took things the wrong way because you've been drinking?

It doesn't sound like a super healthy relationship with that kind of arguing though, and the drunk driving is very worrying. Sad

Hope you can work out what's best for both of you once you've sobered up x Flowers

I’ve fallen for these exact excuses before. It’s bullshit and manipulative. No more chances.

Wow Hmm clearly a joke I think you over reacted! Depends on the type of person you are though I suppose

Bertieandernie · 02/08/2019 01:04

And to call the police 😂 ok then.

Bertieandernie · 02/08/2019 01:06

He hardly drove drunk either Hmm didn’t give him much of a choice

I think your thread should say My ex boyfriend called me a dog.

Kick him to the kerb and don’t look back.

Bertieandernie · 02/08/2019 01:15

Okay babe

Madame Butterface

The difference being that you are a total stranger and therefore would have no reason to be in my house.
If my husband were to call me a dog, messing around or not, I would let him have it back! I would not feel the need to ask him to leave or to involve the police however.

MadameButterface · 02/08/2019 12:20

Well guess what, you’re not the op and her boyfriend’s not your husband. Different people in having different lives shocker! And if you accept ruder behaviour from your nearest and dearest than you do from internet randoms that’s your own lookout i suppose.

Helendee · 02/08/2019 20:46

Clearly I don’t as already pointed out. I wouldn’t need the help of the police either.
