Husband is meanypegs

Belleweather · 25/10/2023 22:33

I'm naturally very blonde, platinum. Menopause causing hair thinness and my DD cut my very long hair off for me to a chin length blunt bob 3 weeks ago. I'm only 49 Ffs. Today my husband (? Hmm) said to guests at a dinner that he thought I looked like Jimmy Saville. AIBU to never like him again? Utterly humiliated. I am a lot younger than him and he has done this sort of thing before. So hurt and embarrassed, Considering shaving my head.

I wonder if you can buy meanypegs at Ann Summers?

Probably need a more "specialist" shop for those!

I hope you told your guests all about his tiny penis?

TeeBee · 26/10/2023 13:08

I thought this was going to be about pegging. 😳

@KingsleyBorder the words meanypegs and prickypegs made me laugh on here but yes, he was definitely a cunt.

Can we start calling these awful men a dick, a prick, a wanker, a nasty piece of work, and stop using a beautiful female body part for the worst of men.

HowToSaveAWife · 26/10/2023 13:19

Leave him. Be less traumatic than shaving your head.

MyheartgoingBoomBoomBoom · 26/10/2023 13:19

I feel awful saying this as op is obviously being serious but this thread has truly lightened my morning, some of you are so bloody quick witted, I wish I was that funny.

Ibravedaflood · 26/10/2023 13:20

Op really sorry but I think I have just come across him on a dating website.. He had his manhood as his profile pic. With measurements too.

‘Unfortunately, now that he’s getting on a bit, the only way he can get it up is if I put on my shell suit and offer to fix it for him” would be an ideal retort if he ever tries that again…

Genius!👏👏👏

Cuntypegs surely

Don't shave your head, you'll end up looking like a peg yourself

ohdamnitjanet · 26/10/2023 13:29

I don’t say this very often here but he is a spiteful cunt. I would never ever sleep with this loser again. Don’t shave your head, shave this Mr Universe’s head while he’s asleep. I hope you show him this thread. Bet your bob looks great.

Rarely do I find MN funny and can never understand the 'spat my coffee out' etc but this genuinely gave me a good laugh.

Exactly the same here. Funniest thing I've read in ages.

Kittenkitty · 26/10/2023 13:35

I am howling with laughter at your comment @WideLegPant

Sconehenge · 26/10/2023 13:37

I mean, if he meant it meanly then yes it’s mean but I can also see that as a funny joke between a couple about a haircut gone wrong. I’m not sure getting your daughter to cut your hair into a completely new style change (unless she is a hairdresser) was a great idea… you’ve called him a meanypegs and not come back so it’s hard to tell if even you took him seriously?

'Considering shaving my head' would you seriously cut off your nose to spite your face? If YOU like it, leave it. Could you not dye it before you considered that?

EvenBetta · 26/10/2023 13:42

OP posted a couple of weeks ago saying she was a divorced lone parent. Also posted the town she lives in, her job title, and how much debt she’s in.
@Belleweather no privacy concerns?

Janieforever · 26/10/2023 12:00

I agree, it’s really disturbing, it’s not just the meanypegs word, but also “never to like him again”, and “shave my head”. It’s so juvenile. I just can’t imagine a middle aged women talking like this to other adults.

It MUST be a troll. Surely?

jazzyfips · 26/10/2023 13:47

You are being unreasonable for using the term meanypegs

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I did fall apart slightly when he said and friend and DSS defended me. I do love Charlie and Lola. Well my DD is off to uni and I'm missing her a lot and Cahrlie and Lola were our favourite. DSC are lovely, they've been coming to visit which is so good of them. I'm empty nest and redundant next week after 27 years in my job, quite fragile atm. Thank you all for replies. Maybe I'll blow redundancy on a shell suit, cigars and JEWELLERY? Have not shaved my head (yet). These men! Urghhh!
