To be discombobulated by DH’s compliment?

128 replies

DiscombobulatedDebbie · 29/01/2021 14:04

After over 25 years of no compliments unless asked directly for oneAngry, he suddenly tells me in bed last night that I have ‘a very nice vagina’.

AIBU to wonder how many other ones he’s seen over the last 25 years to compare?

Bigger question is how did it take him 25 years to notice it?Grin

Oldraver · 29/01/2021 14:06

I'd ask him what he was comparing it too

GeordieGreigsButtButtZoom · 29/01/2021 14:06

That's one smooth talker you've got there.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 29/01/2021 14:09

I'd be deeply suspicious

Oh fgs Hmm

A compliment is a compliment I guess Grin and tbh after so many years he’s showing you he’s still turned on by the way you look. I guess context of your relationship makes a difference. Me and DH would have a giggle over a compliment like this

StiffyByng1 · 29/01/2021 14:19

25 years...

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 29/01/2021 14:21

Last of the great romantics there 🤣🤣

At least he tried, I guess.

UseOfWeapons · 29/01/2021 15:13

Ah, excellent!
You could have coyly answered, ‘ Thank you, darling, have you felt how velvety my labia are? ‘ ...and batted your eyelids.
Tell him he has a super penis.
What you young things get up to, all these compliments!

Lovelydiscusfish · 29/01/2021 15:15

I actually wouldn’t object to it as a compliment (maybe I am weird) but I WOULD object to it being the only one I got in 25 years.......

How did you respond?

Stompythedinosaur · 29/01/2021 15:18

That's really funny!

AryaStarkWolf · 29/01/2021 15:19

It's kind of an odd compliment tbf

FreezerBird · 29/01/2021 15:19

Any cardiology issues? At you absolutely sure he didn't say you have acute angina?

Were you shagging at the time? Or did he just randomly say it out of nowhere while you were reading a book or something?

TheTrashBagIsOursCmonTrashBag · 29/01/2021 15:29

I’d be more put out that in 25 years he’s not given you a compliment than the compliment itself. Also context is important. Telling you that you have a nice vagina while his penis inside of it is different to telling you this while you’re both flicking through Twitter before bed. For example.

Kljnmw3459 · 29/01/2021 15:32

It's a weird compliment

Fairyliz · 29/01/2021 15:33

Yanbu for using the word discombobulated, which is a fabulous word and not used often enough in my opinion.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 29/01/2021 15:34

Does he have an unattached brother?

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 29/01/2021 15:35

Grin Freezerbird

Mamasaurus123 · 29/01/2021 15:36

Umm if you were having sex at the time maybe but if it was out of the blue that’s a very strange and weird compliment 🤨🤨

TheVolturi · 29/01/2021 15:37

Thanks @freezerbird I was drinking my hot chocolate when I read that and have now snorted it up my nose 😂😂

Pukkatea · 29/01/2021 15:38

Haha, I think that's quite hilarious.

I'm assuming you've made your peace with the lack of compliments over the last 25 years, but maybe he is turning over a new leaf and is awfully out of practice.

senua · 29/01/2021 15:39

Aw, bless. Do you think that he read some article, in the run up to Valentine's, about Putting the romance back in your marriage.Confused

1forAll74 · 29/01/2021 15:39

i would find that quite funny. Perhaps he watched that TV programme ages ago,it was all about the many different shapes and sizes of vaginas, and decided that you have the best looking one of all !

LittleBoPeep95 · 29/01/2021 15:41

I dont see the problem? Why is this something to be suspicious about? Genuinely curious
