Comment about a stupid car

[hopeful777]

I grudgingly came to a Japanese car show with DP today and at the entrance saw a red Ferrari… whilst he was commenting on all the other cars, I made an offhand comment saying the Ferrari is basically the best car here.

He decided to Take this to mean I was comparing bj
to the Ferrari driver and saying they were better than him??? Does that even make sense? Told me that it’s not why he aspires to and his car is better for someone who actually enjoys driving blah blah blah anyway, ruined the day and I’m sat in a mood not enjoying any part of it.

Aibu to think it’s just a comment about a car; grow some balls and get over it?!!

Is he 17?

I think you could both do with growing up and getting over it tbh

I must be getting on as I really have no idea of what this means. The words just don't makes sense.

You've gone to a car show about Japanese cars and before you've gone in you've decided they're not as good as an Italian car. Your dp is presumably interested in the show and you've poured scorn on the whole thing before you started.

I'm not sure I understood that right but if I did, your dp has the maturity of a five year old.

I'd cut it short, claim a headache and go home. Why waste a Sunday on something so joyless?

Sadly, both in our late 30s. He is a car nut but his issue wasn’t about where the car was from but rather that I preferred another car to his.

it sounds incredibly immature on both our parts but it really has made me feel so down.. feeling like I’m not allowed an opinion in any way. I have sat here waiting for him to finish looking around and then I have to drive 2.5 hours home..

my comment wasn’t in any way meant to compare or cause hurt- I just liked the Ferrari. I don’t think it was an unreasonable thing to say at all but yeah.. the smallest things can get to you so quickly. I guess I’ll just try to put it behind me and get ready for the working week

the car is better than a bj ? eh ?

I would tell him I preferred being single to being with him.

Typo… comparing *him

Maybe let him go by himself or with a friend next time and you spend the day doing something you do like?

It's not a nice day out/quality time together when one of you doesn't want to be there. You'll be bored and he'll probably spend less time than he'd like to, because he knows you're not enjoying yourself.

Fuck me 🙄

Why do you have to wait for him and then drive him home?
If he's that pissed off with you, go home and let him catch a bus.

Japanese cars are ok but soulless.
I'd much prefer a Ferarri or an Aston Martin, if I only had the ££££££££

What's the bj thing I have to know? Boris John or blow job?

So is he really into cars and take abreast pride in his car? And feels you just said that to have dog at his car?

All I am thinking is that if you went to an art show and you were really in to art and took one of your paintings that you spent hours and hours of work on and was very proud of and he pointed to another painting and said ‘that’s the best painting here’ I can imagine some people would be put out by that too.

Art is an example. But it all sounds really childish tbh, including you say in a mood

This isn't about the car.

Please tell us what bj has to do with it?

Does the DP think that the OP wants to give the Ferrari owner a BJ because his car is better?

I'm completely lost.

"He thinks his car is better than a Ferrari"
What does he have? A 400hp Toyota.

It was a typo 🙄

He thought she was comparing him to the Ferrari driver and he took that as a personal insult.

Seriously OP, life is too short, ditch him and go home to pack your bags.

Your partner thinks you want to give the Ferrari owner a bj?

Can we be lost together? Because I am as well.

It does rather depend on the Ferrari and Japanese cars in question. I currently own Italian, German and Japanese cars and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

I think the lesson of the story here is not to bother going next time. Ultimately anything you say could be taken the wrong way and you don’t even want to go anyway. Let him go have his fun and you can go have yours.
