To think most women would be annoyed by this

[Kaylasmum49]

My dp quite often talks about women he knows and has seen and tells me how beautiful or sexy they are. I feel annoyed when he does this as I think it’s unnecessary and he knows that I have issues with my self confidence. Is it just me being silly or is he being insensitive

You seem to be deciding to end the relationship. Hope you do and find a decent man soon.

I hope you carry through with your decision to get rid of this man, he's no good for you.

He sounds like a creep.

Good partners make you feel good about yourself and aren’t perving over other people when out shopping.

Get rid of him.

If he is a Clinical Psychologist then that’s even worse! He should be much more aware. I hope he’s not a practicing clinician. With his age I could be more forgiving as this was just the norm back then, but still, once pointed out he should stop. May be his frontal cortex is on the decline and he’s just saying what he thinks and has lost his inhibitions? Either way I’d find it pretty repulsive and see him as a bit unevolved and pathetic.

So he's not training to be a dirty old man, he's already there. Odds on he also knows exactly what effect his sleazy, lecherous behaviour is having on you, and doing it because he's a sadistic piece of shit.

I'm glad you're getting out of this, OP.

Oh. Rank. 🤢

Christ. Why are you with him. Have some self respect @Kaylasmum49 and dump him.

A psychologist who knows you struggle with self esteem and then does things that directly worsen your self esteem, he doesn’t sound like a very nice person.

He might just have a degree in psychology. If he’s a clinical or counselling psychologist then he absolutely should know about self esteem. An under graduate degree in psychology wouldn’t necessarily equip you with that. BUT that’s just me being pedantic as someone that is relevant to and for this it’s irrelevant. He’s behaving like a mysoginistic twat.

He sounds like a a bit of a creepy lech, tbh.

Gross. What a creep.

If he's 73 then he's just a disrespectful dirty old man. If he was 22 and in his first proper relationship and hadn't worked out you can't just blurt out any thought in your head without considering what you are saying to whom, then maybe there would have been some hope.
