I’m at my wits end with my boyfriend and need to vent!
For context, I’m 31 and he’s slightly younger at 28 and we’ve been together for just under a year.
He has started making increasingly crude comments and I am now getting the silent treatment for telling him to shut it and grow up earlier.
These only began a couple of months ago and started off fairly innocently by being a bit more ‘direct’ with compliments towards me which I didn’t mind to begin with.
This has now progressed to making comments publicly about people we either see out and about or people we know.
Examples:
-‘doesn’t she squash him when they have sex’ (a slightly larger lady compared to her partner - these are friends of mine)
-You could crack an egg with that (a woman we drove past walking home from the gym wearing flattering leggings)
-‘He must be hung like a horse as he’s a bit bloody dull isn’t he’ (after meeting a friend and her BF for the first time)
And the final straw which made me snap today, we drove past a lady on a horse and he said ‘I wouldn’t mind her riding me like that’ and I flipped.
I should have said something previously in hindsight as my anger was building up.
He said I need to lighten up and not be so prudish but for me, this has crossed a line. I said I’m a grown woman and this sort of talk just gives me the ick.
Do you think I overreacted?
