To be discombobulated by DH’s compliment?

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?

I don’t think the compliment is weird but the context is!!

What’s he comparing it too suddenly? Also, how did he not notice before hand?
Was you having sex or reading books? Please tell me you was both reading and he just came out with it!!😂

How long before someone posts about vukvas?

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 29/01/2021 15:43

Vulvas even Confused

doadeer · 29/01/2021 15:45

.... But shame about your face 🙈

At least you've found put after 25 years what he really values 🤣

LetMeOut2021 · 29/01/2021 15:46

Has he been watching porn and he’s trying to work some of what he’s seen in?

guffaux · 29/01/2021 15:52

had he seen the recent thread from the woman who had an... err...interesting delivery from Alibaba?

AnOnly · 29/01/2021 15:53

Maybe he's caught a snippet of Naked Attraction and can now make a comparison.

Was he at the coal face when he commented or drifting off to sleep?

JustAnotherUserinParadise · 29/01/2021 15:53

haha I think that's hilarious... at least he's trying?

my DH thinks he's figured it out and says "you look nice, I like the pattern/colour/shape" (and cycles through those 3)

1FootInTheRave · 29/01/2021 15:55

I think that's v funny!

Almost as funny as the poster suggesting he meant acute angina Grin

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 29/01/2021 15:59

I'd be concerned that he is getting dementia.

Tonightstheteriyakichicken · 29/01/2021 16:00

How will he follow on from that in 25 years' time, I wonder?

Chunkymenrock · 29/01/2021 16:03

I thinks it's vile. It's not a compliment to me, commenting on my genitals.

smoothchange · 29/01/2021 16:08

@LittleBoPeep95

I dont see the problem? Why is this something to be suspicious about? Genuinely curious
Change in behaviour?
slidingdrawers · 29/01/2021 16:08

Is it just me who hears Borat's voice when I read that?

Bluntness100 · 29/01/2021 16:10

Is that the exact words he used? Because I’m telling you I’d cringe myself inside out at hearing that.

Jesus! Even for MN that’s beyond ridiculous. You’re obviously totally ignorant of what dementia involves.

LTB Grin

Barnbop2 · 29/01/2021 16:13

I'm just here for the word discombobulated Grin

Wenolikeexplodeythings · 29/01/2021 16:15

Perhaps he 2as looking back over his life, contemplating how it's all turned out, and that is one of his great conclusions?

IEat · 29/01/2021 16:17

It is a compliment
If it’s during the act I’d rather other words were used Grin
The use of vagina and penis just make be shudder

IncludeWomenInTheSequel · 29/01/2021 16:23

I think mine just clamped shut like somebody was trying to steal a pearl on just reading this.

Cluckycluck · 29/01/2021 16:24

Sounds like my husbands type of compliment 😂
My husband has given me a single compliment in the entire 14 years we've been together...'you've got really nice nipples' he then followed that with 'they're a little large though'

CSIblonde · 29/01/2021 16:26

25 years & it's your vagina he compliments?! I'd be never mind that, what about all my other wonderfulness you've ignored for 25 years. Unless he's got lots & I mean lots, of redeeming features, in which case I'd prob laugh. I'd forgive someone a lot if they were kind, made me laugh & could cook ( because I cant,).

farandfew · 29/01/2021 16:33

This made me laugh, and then I laughed even harder at the "velvety labia" and "super penis" comment, and then I lost it at "acute angina" and the poster snorting her hot chocolate.

Thank you all, I needed that today!

Sparrowfeeder · 29/01/2021 16:33

That’s better than my very rare compliment: “you filled out the mortgage forms very efficiently” Hmm

(I am a lawyer, it’s one of the basic skills of my job!) Confused
