If you were watching a show where a woman was walking in a bikini and your other half said a body part of hers reminded him of your best friend, would you be a bit put out?

Depends…. ‘She has got the same colour hair as Sandra’ is quite different from ‘she’s got the exact same boobs as Helen’!

Of course YANBU. He’s said that on purpose to make you jealous or get a reaction, nobody’s that thick.

Well he’s a bit of a nob isn’t he.

Depends on what sort of bum it was, surely? One we'd all aspire to have or one we'd not

No it doesn’t, it’s a disgusting comment either way.
”Phwoar, she’s got a great arse, just like Karen’s isn’t it?”
”Eurgh size of her lard arse, it’s as big as Karen’s!”

you tell me which oh of those comments is ok?

It was someone on Love Island (on gogglebox) so it was said as a compliment.

He's a knob

I would have no issue with partner saying she's got a great arse i would have a massive issue with him comparing it to one of my friends or family members so disrespectful

YABBU (= both being) for watching Love Island in the first place 😉

She was watching GoggleBox, bit of reading comprehension wouldn’t go amiss

BilgeVole · 03/07/2026 20:49

Depends.

Right arm, probably not.

Left leg, probably not.

Breasts, yes.
