A man I have been seeing for a few months took me out to lunch today. We were discussing our children when he mentioned his daughter and said "She will be starting her periods soon" and I was like " yeah" and he started going on...

"Well I've got all prepared, I have bought her pads and wipes ... and we've had the talk ... a lot of blokes wouldn't bother you know ... "

And I was thinking "Most blokes wouldn't discuss it over lunch either "

We got off that subject and started to discuss what movies make us laugh. I suggested a few silly ones that make me laugh and he said "oh, one of my faves was a scene in me, myself and irene where ... " he then described a rather sexual scene, pretty much word for word, quite loudly, including descriptions of a dildo etc and there was a family with a young child eating their dinner in the room too. I was just cringing.

AIB a prude?

dittany I dont know if you meant to but you made me laugh! Like the poor Mother is in an institution after years of dildo, period, playboy talk!

Hereidrawtheline - just what I was thinking....

Spotty - RUN (especially if he is also the Asda Bread Boy)...he sounds like a complete knob.

He sounds hideous. It will only get worse - get rid!

It's very unusual for a father to be like that about his dd growing up.
My DP would have kept his dd in pigtails forever if he could, and he was quite upset when she started her periods and started turning into a woman. .
I think it sounds a little bit unnatural tbh.

It is unnatural but I would be tempted to tell him, let him know his behaviour is inappropriate, esp the sort of boastful stuff and ribbing his dd that way.

For her sake please tell him, then he will know and might be a wee bit more considerate of his dd?
