Been seeing ExDP for the past nine months.

He hates the thought of me being with anyone else.

Today he has asked me if I have slept with anyone else, because the last time we had sex I "felt different".

Is this even a thing? Wtf?!

So he didn't see anyone during your time apart?

TheCatterall · 06/07/2023 15:45

Jesus Christ my Fanny would clamp shut if my partner spoke to me like that!

maybe he’s still a bit soft. Maybe his technique isn’t upto muster.

why would you be with someone who talks to you like this?

honest to god this is doomed and is going to be an ever devolving shit show based around his precious little insecurities. And if you stand up for yourself he’s going to do
the gaslighting routine about how you’re being over sensitive.

If a mate was telling you this stuff would you tell her what a catch the bloke sounds? Or to dump his ass.

Gross, you don’t wear out and get baggy from sex. This sounds like incel trope

It does. Now I know why I felt so grossed-out reading it. It's misogynistic incel tripe. Ugh.

I have asked him if he means looser.

He said yes, I felt a little looser but also just different and that it's hard to explain.

“Nothing about me has changed. Maybe your penis has shrunk?”

FeelingwearyFeeelingsmall · 06/07/2023 15:46

What a horrible man. Why are you sleeping with him? He doesn't trust you or respect you.

Sensibletrousers · 06/07/2023 15:47

Sensibletrousers · 06/07/2023 15:45

“Nothing about me has changed. Maybe your penis has shrunk?”

And when he reacts badly to that, tell him
he’s being over sensitive.

His explanation;

It’s a point of anxiety for me you sleeping with other people. Sex felt different so I asked the question to my mind at rest. You’ve put your point across that you’re sick of it like you have done before.

I asked the question and then gave my reason as to why to try and minimise you being annoyed.

I'm so tired of people weaponising 'anxiety' as if mentioning it gives them a get out of jail free card to act like a dick. If he feels anxious that's his issue to sort. What a cock.

Ugh is about right.

Oh Christ OP, you deserve better than this. I hope you realise this soon. Flowers

Missedmytoe · 06/07/2023 15:52

Echoing what others are saying- stop wasting time with this man. What he is saying reflects very badly on him. You can't feel different or looser (unless you'd literally just had sex with someone else, and even then it's an unreliable notion). Have you asked him the same question? "Because it feels smaller"

Beaverbridge · 06/07/2023 15:54

Oaft. You must be desperate.

Grumpy101 · 06/07/2023 15:54

You're an idiot for getting back together with such a tosser. Remind yourself why you broke up and dump him. Take some responsibility for yourself, he's clearly and arsehole and for some reason You're putting up with his gaslighting. Good luck.

Beaverbridge · 06/07/2023 15:54

No need for that. Man saying enough misogynistic shit to her without women who don’t know her jumping in. Trying to give what may have been an important/serious relationship another go isn’t ‘desperate’.

2bazookas · 06/07/2023 16:03

Was insane jealousy and sexual violence the reason he became Ex?

Togiveandtoreceive · 06/07/2023 16:07

Sadly this is the type of man that will no doubt have a string of children in his wake

Whose mothers all start mumsnet threads about him.

It is so frustrating to think of children involved in a mess like this - where the man is vile and the woman is vulnerable, naive and very very low standards.

He has just said he needs the reassurance and doesn't want it to be a big deal.

It’s not your responsibility to reassure his “anxieties” (although I call BS he’s either deflecting or negging you to make you doubt yourself/control your behaviour).

How could you bear to sleep with him every again after that comment? What a vile excuse for a human.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

He was/is my ex. We were previously in a relationship. We have now been seeing each other again for nine months, albeit not "officially" together.

It is a relationship for all intents and purposes.

He's paranoid about me sleeping with other people, but I haven't slept with anyone else the whole time we've been back on.

What I don't understand is whether he has been stewing on this for 9 months tha or thinks you cheated on him last week? Either way, he clearly is a loser. And I see when you point out how ride he is he turns it on you. Stick with being broken up i say.

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 06/07/2023 16:09

Tell him his cocks got smaller and see how he reacts.

Seriously though, he was your ex for a reason. If you weren't with him, if doesn't matter who or how many people you slept with because it's nothing to do with him.

Shoxfordian · 06/07/2023 16:11

Throw that one back honey, he’s not it

Brefugee · 06/07/2023 16:11

Say "no, have you? "
Then bin him again and do better for yourself

Thosepeskyseagulls · 06/07/2023 16:14

Ew. He clearly doesn’t understand how womens bodies work.

Merryoldgoat · 06/07/2023 16:24

More women putting up with abusive misogynistic men.

Why you’d invite a man like this back after you’ve broken free is beyond me.

Shodan · 06/07/2023 16:24

"No DP. This is not a thing. If it were a thing, that would mean that I've had sex with a man whose penis is much bigger than yours. Is that what you want to know? That your penis is much smaller than my hypothetical lover's? I think it's far more likely that your penis has shrunk to match your brain capacity."

Alleycat1 · 06/07/2023 16:26

@Shodan Absolutely this!

Sunnyfeelgood · 06/07/2023 16:41

He is negging you OP
'I just like you so much I get anxious about you sleeping with others' = 'it isn't as good having sex with you anymore cos your vagina is so loose'

There are ways to say the first without being horrifically insulting. This is manipulative behaviour. He isn't a normal person being a bit anxious.

You KNOW this which is why you came on here to check.
