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?

He just came out with ‘well you have a very nice vagina, it’s neat and tucked in not sticking out like some women’s’

Oh god anyone else cringing themselves inside out? Honestly I get your chuffed but feeling the need to share it your husbands rather formal uptight use of words with sixteen million people isn’t really necessary.

@BubblyBarbara

Unless he's a gynecologist or has his own speculum how would he have seen any other vaginas? Confused
🙄

@Iminaglasscaseofemotion 😂 eyeroll indeed

I Swear Mumsnet is a different world to real life

@FreezerBird

Any cardiology issues? At you absolutely sure he didn't say you have acute angina?
Hahahahahaha this made me laugh far too much.
Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 29/01/2021 19:26

@Changemaname1 yup it's nuts. Any thread that mentions female genitalia turns into a biology lesson, taught by the smuggest teachers in the world.

Is this a stealth boast for a tucked in fanny ?

HangOnToYourself · 29/01/2021 19:32

@AnaisNun

I assume he means your labia minora are entirely inside your labia majora?

I think he sounds fairly rotten actually, if that’s how he judges a woman’s attractiveness.

Agree with this what an arse.

God knows but when your husband talks like this why the hell would you want to share it?
FeeLock28 · 29/01/2021 19:37

Did you tell him that his penis is looking particularly spiffing today? Grin

Do you mean the glans penis or the corpus spongiosum penis?

Sounds like the sort of dirty talk you’d expect from Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard in Brief Encounter.

@Fairyliz

Yanbu for using the word discombobulated, which is a fabulous word and not used often enough in my opinion.
It is my favourite word but dh says I'm not allowed to use it.

I use it.

sofiaaaaaa · 29/01/2021 19:55

Presumably he’s seen 100s of vaginas in porn

BubblyBarbara · 29/01/2021 20:00

Do men divvy up their penises into “ Shaft, glans, frenulum”?

No but that's not how a vagina is "divvied" up either. The shaft glans and frenulum are part of the whole penis but nothing is part of the vagina. It is it's own separate thing. Well maybe the g spot.

sofiaaaaaa · 29/01/2021 20:01

it’s neat and tucked in not sticking out like some women’s’

Some men banter about “unattractive vaginas” between themselves. That comment is something I see commonly referenced on social media, so the general conversation could have stemmed from something he discussed with his mates

Devlesko · 29/01/2021 20:05

Ha Ha, that's funny and sweet.

You sound well jealous. Grin

How very true about "discombobulated". One of my teenage pupils couldn't stop laughing when I said it. It reminds me of Steven Fry in Blackadder: "Make a note of the word gobbledegook: I like it, I want to use it more often in conversation."

SingToTheSky · 29/01/2021 20:22

Never mind Alan Partridge, I’m hearing quite a few of the replies in a Sarah Millican voice.

ZackaryQuack · 29/01/2021 20:31

"That slayed her. I fucking rock"

Even dh is laughing at that line

Only on Mumsnet and that baked programme on Ch4
