To still be deeply upset by this comment

My DH and I have been together for 26 years since I was 20 (and he was 27). He has alot of great qualities and is a great father but can have dark moods and be very insensitive to my feelings. We have a largely sexless relationship due to his very low libido. We have two children 17 and 10.

I am close to leaving and I have been for some time over many things. A comment he made 8 years ago deeply wounded me and I have never been able to get over it.

He said that I 'dress like a slut ' and that other people probably think this too (specifically other mothers). When I became upset he refused to apologise and said that 'all the women at his work' would have found this comment funny and dealt with it just fine and I was over reacting. He was angry that I was upset.

My feelings for him changed that day. For what it's worth I don't dress like that. I wear the same clothes other women wear and try to be elegant and put together. There have been other horrible comments but that's the worst. I just can't get over it.

Part of me thinks I should get over it. AIBU?

No sex and dark moods. Nope. Fuck that.

If you want to stay I’d suggest he gets an ultimatum about going to the gp for medication. I made my ex gp. He was bipolar and a living nightmare. It’s not love. It’s just companionship and hes not even good at that.

Sounds like your relationship finished when he made that comment, strange you stayed, leave him.

I stayed because of our children. I know I should leave. I'm trying to.
