Fed up with DP going on about his mates new partner

As above - we met her for the first time at the weekend. When she went to the loo, my DP dramatically said to his friend HOW ON EARTH HAVE YOU MANAGED THAT and kept saying he is punching.

On the way home, he kept shaking his head and saying he doesn’t know how he has done it, and multiple references since this week including about her job being really good and how they’ll afford load of holidays etc. We are a bit stretched financially currently with young DC etc.

Last night I asked him if he was going to stop going on about her at any point and he got a bit defensive. Saying he’s happy for his mate, that he’s complimented them as a match and ‘it’s not like I’ve turned around and said I want to bury my tounge in her arse’.

AIBU to find repeated comments excessive?

He didn’t say he wants to do that - re-read my post.

Oh come on.

The fact he’s even said that shows what he’s thinking.
Neanderthal knuckle-dragger comes to mind and I wouldn’t want him anywhere near me as he’s clearly drooling over her.

‘it’s not like I’ve turned around and said I want to bury my tounge in her arse’

Strong echoes of Tubbs randomly shouting "We didn't burn him!" League of Gentlemen when the police ask her if she and Edward have seen a missing hiker.

Haha. I love this comment.

Evaka · 24/10/2025 19:59

What an utterly disgusting thing to say. I'd instantly leave my partner if he said any of what you've mentioned but the tongue remark actually flipped my stomach.

222days · 24/10/2025 20:31

Why do you want to stay in a relationship with such a disgusting man?

Crunchienuts · 24/10/2025 20:37

He sounds crass, sexist, and a bit thick. Is that really what you want in a partner?

Having read and understood your post op, he really did actually say he has been sitting there thinking about burying his tongue in her ass. There’s no other way he’d say that.

Your boyfriend is a knuckle-dragging neanderthal.
And you can tell him I said that.

This.
How do you put up with this awful behaviour, OP? Ugh. Reminds me of my ex, constantly ogling other women and making comments about their looks and bodies.

LifeSurvior · 25/10/2025 01:00

My ex said something similar, I posted it earlier in the thread.

He was the most polite, well mannered, quiet, I'm with the females, nicest man you could have wished for... except when he had a drink his raging mysogynistic side came out and it was awful.
It doesn't even cross decent mens mind to say to their other half " I'm not burying my tongue in her ass"
It's not even on their radar.
You have a mysogynist OP and I'm absolutely sure if you look into your relationship this won't be your first red flag, I know it wasn't mine.

Anna1mac · 25/10/2025 18:05

Disgusting language. A wise woman once said when people show you who they really are, believe them the first time.

Laurmolonlabe · 25/10/2025 18:22

Your DP is clearly jealous of his friend- his defensiveness is not a good sign either, he obviously was thinking about it.

Ha ha ha, no he didn't say it but that is exactly what he'd like to do.

Anyway no YANBU, personally I'd tell him to stfu about her, he could get as defensive as he liked, twat.

Bestfootforward11 · 25/10/2025 18:42

The repeated comments are unnecessary and the one re tongue and arse- I can’t believe a man is speaking to his wife about another woman like that. Seriously gross and disrespectful to you both.

Toydrum · 25/10/2025 18:59

How will you deal with this cheysdiary?

reversingdumptruckwithnotyreson · 25/10/2025 19:04

I would be really hurt by this, it feels massive disrespectful towards you, to be honest. Like passive aggressively.

A while ago my bf and I were watching a series where this guy is married into money and the FIL essentially controls their lives and I was saying how grim etc and he said something like “yeah, but you’d be set for life with no money worries” and I’m still salty about that, like he’d leave me if a fat check came along 😒

AnnaPhylax · 25/10/2025 19:07

We all agree with you, why are you defending his comment? He’s gross and I dread to think what his blunt comments are like about you.

Bathingforest · 25/10/2025 19:08

He's literally obsessed with her looks.

The rude language reveals his true nature, a creep, perv, filthy man

Bathingforest · 25/10/2025 19:09

Do men literally all think and imagine all day long are assessed holes or vaginas

They can't be all like that

Jan039 · 25/10/2025 19:12

Why did you have children with someone so vile OP?

Mydadsbirthday · 25/10/2025 19:20

Dacatspjs · 24/10/2025 13:17

They've just started dating and he already thinks his mate is entitled to her money.

God, yes. I hadn't even picked up on that as I was so repulsed by the tongue comment.

Some men really are grim.

Wildefish · 25/10/2025 19:31

RedToothBrush · 24/10/2025 13:14

He's pissed off his mate has the hot bird and is jealous. No doubt because he thinks he's 'stuck' or 'settled' for you. Hence him lashing out at you with his nasty comment. Because he's an insufferable prick himself and you could do better...

Wow…you really making the OP feel better. Sometimes I think people on here just love to kick you when you’re down. Yes he’s a prick but I doubt he thinks he’s settled.

  • According to google, men think a bout sex 19 times a day on average. Debunking the previous popular (unsubstantiated) myth that had them thinking about it every 7 seconds, which would amount to over 8,000 times a day. Junk science in my opinion.
CoralPombear · 25/10/2025 19:47

He’s making a point to you. He’s not enjoying the burden of financial responsibility and thinks you could be more attractive. Instead of speaking to you reasonably about this, he’s being immature and hurtful on purpose. Your move.

Effic · 25/10/2025 20:03

Cheysdiary · 24/10/2025 13:12

He can be matter of fact, which he always puts down to the nature of his job (trade) and the company he is in with that.

No - sorry - that’s not true and pretty offensive actually to the highly skilled people who work in the trades.
My husband is in the ‘trades’ - neither he nor anyone else he works with would ever use disgusting phrases like that this it’s utterly grim.

You can't swing a cat these days without hitting a rimmilingus reference. I'm waiting for it to pop up on Emmerdale.
