I went out for dinner last night with a bunch of my husbands work colleagues who I’ve not met before. We all got on great but I could tell there was a weird vibe between me and them.

Do you want to know why?

My job is a sexual health advisor.

Turns out when asked what I do he’s been telling people I’m a sex worker.

He actually thought that’s what sex worker meant. Thankfully I’ve put everyone straight and the weird tension eased. But omg what a bloody idiot.

Aibu to think he wins the stupid man award?

Yes, it’s true. A midwife had to explain how breastfeeding worked.

NO. That I genuinely cannot believe. Jesus.

Yes, it’s true. I was equally as shocked you when she told me. To make matters worse he asked her during one of those prenatal classes where the fathers attended. A midwife had to explain how breastfeeding worked.

That has made my day @Thinkingblonde 🤣
my male friend thought when you were told your delivery date they also gave you the time they would be born
he was genuinely confused that they couldn’t do that

Bet his colleagues are kind of disappointed now.

I’m North East and it most certainly means discharge here too!

And it is in the north west too. I’ve never heard it used to mean hair

My husband was telling people my mother was retarded. English isn’t his first language, but he has been speaking it for decades. He still slips up occasionally, even after me explaining he means “retired”.

My ex told his friends I was a gynaecologist I'm a geologist. Slightly different! Then had to explain to him what a gynaecologist was 😂

I'm London, DH South Africa. We both know snail trail to be slang for 'fluid from the vagina'

That's actually vile. And not remotely funny.

Pillow talk is is literally the stuff you talk about after sex when you are afterglowy and relaxed and may share things you wouldn't normally talk about (hopes, fears, etc).

It's also used figuratively to mean 'intimate stuff people share with a partner and no one else'.

It's not talk about sex - that's dirty talk.

It always amuses me when someone tried to demonstrate that someone else is stupid and reveals their own mistakes! (We're all stupid sometimes!).

I don't really understand your post because your description of pillow talk is exactly what I thought it meant. Do you mean that you think describing your pillow talk to your boss is an appropriate thing to do?? Leaving aside the implication that we discuss coding in the warm afterglow of sex, which isn't true, I can't think of any situation where discussing your intimate post coital conversations at work is a good idea! If partner had known it had that connotation he definitely wouldn't have said it!

I think he knew all along that he was making a joke. You should not take it too seriously. Technically he was right but allowed his colleagues to misconstrue the type of work you do.
I think it is quite funny, and you should have had a suitable response to it. I would have said that your DH would be looking forward to being hog-tied up with
washing line when you got home (with a bog-brush up his arse) and then thrashed with wet towels etc..
Guys like a bit of naughty repartit. Shows you have character and a sense of humour.
