I was with someone for a year, found out he was cheating and ended it and he’s with the woman he cheated on me with.

Six months on and I’ve been seeing someone else and the topic of exs came up and he asked why my last relationship failed. He then said if he asked you back would you? I said no, even if I were single I wouldn’t and he’s fucked it with me now.

Him - it’s funny you said that
Me - said what?
Him - that he’s fucked it, as that’s exactly what he’s doing, fucking his new girlfriend.

Is that not really inappropriate?

It’s crass and insensitive. He sounds like an idiot.

GlitteryUnicornSparkles · 24/02/2023 22:19

Sounds like a right charmer! 🙄

Ponoka7 · 24/02/2023 22:20

Be wary of this one.

Thepeopleversuswork · 24/02/2023 22:23

It’s inappropriate, insensitive and also just incredibly stupid and unfunny.

Sorry he sounds thick as pigshit. Chuck him back.

minou123 · 24/02/2023 22:23

What a strange comment to make.

Was he trying to be funny/clever? Although, even so, you are still quite new to seeing him, so he should know that even if he was trying to make a "joke", you wouldn't find it funny.

Does he generally make stupid jokes or saying stupid things?

FabFitFifties · 24/02/2023 22:24

Any more hurtful comments, disguised as jokes or whatever, and I'd be rethinking this one.

I can't say it any better than that.

NotRightNowNo · 24/02/2023 22:25

He sounds like a charmer...

Pixiedust1234 · 24/02/2023 22:26

Not normal and very insensitive. Chuck him back and let him spread his bantz elsewhere.

HollyGolightly4 · 24/02/2023 22:27

Perhaps insecurity masked by a crass sense of humour? I think the intention is certainly to be funny..

Solongtoshort · 24/02/2023 22:27

I hope you said, what a knob head comment!! or that you are like me and your face says it for you without words being spoken.

GoodChat · 24/02/2023 22:28

He's an absolute dumbarse. That's a weird thing to say.

pictoosh · 24/02/2023 22:28

Yeah sounds a twat.

Rinkydinkydoodle · 24/02/2023 22:34

Crappy patter. If he can’t be funny he could at least be kind.

MrsRosieBrew · 24/02/2023 22:36

i think this is insecurity and him letting you know that the ex wouldn’t want you back anyway because he’s sleeping with someone else now. I don’t know. I think it’s a bit of a mean comment, actually. It would leave a bad taste in my mouth. Bit ‘ick’.

AlmostaMamma · 24/02/2023 22:40

Jesus Christ.

How did you respond?!

UnluckyPennsatucky · 24/02/2023 22:42

He sounds like an idiot

SchoolTripDrama · 24/02/2023 22:46

Immature. Why on earth did he even need to know about your exes? That too shows immaturity

MyOldFriendTime · 24/02/2023 22:59

He's just trying to be funny but sounding like a 14 year old.

SpinningFloppa · 24/02/2023 23:03

I was prepared to say yabu as I think a lot of people are over sensitive on here but ohh that’s pretty bad 😕 that would definitely put me off

MummiesNett · 24/02/2023 23:06

Haha it’s quite funny…… but obviously I wasn’t there.

MusicWithRocksIn · 24/02/2023 23:09

He sounds like a teenager.

IWineAndDontDine · 24/02/2023 23:12

Well i think he meant it almost sounded like a crass pun. I would have laughed, I can appreciate a stupid and inappropriate joke. If you don't have the same sense of humour, I'd move on. It will be better for you both.

Hawkins003 · 24/02/2023 23:13

Sounds like he was trying to make a joke out of it, and it fizzled

NoGoodUsernamee · 24/02/2023 23:18

@MummiesNett

Haha it’s quite funny…… but obviously I wasn’t there.

😵‍💫 is it? I wouldn’t find it funny at all & not because I don’t have a sense of humour. Be a massive ick for me, when was he born 2010?
