DP told me he may go to a prostitute, TMI, can't be bothered to namechange

Am seething, and feel really icky. I'm currently living in NL, he is in the UK. I know that this is TMI, but we have Skype chats every so often so that he can release "frustration" as it were during the times that we are not in the same country. I'm not as keen on them, not least because dd and I are in a one room flat, and it makes me feel so gross to think of her being in the same room, so the only time I will do it is at lunchtime if she is at school. I'm his dp, it's my fault I'm over here, and sometimes it's a good 5 weeks before we see each other, so am trying to be understanding, but only really want to do it if necessary. I've gently suggested that he use internet materials if he is feeling uncomfortable but flatly refuses and says he is only attracted to me Hmm.

We saw each other last weekend, and are seeing each other next weekend. That to me isn't too bad at all, and quite manageable. Have just spoken to him and he "jokingly" said that if I don't have a skype date with him tomorrow he will go to a prostitute. I feel like a ransomed whore now, and promptly ended the call, but don't know what to do. I'm all shakey and shivery, and never knew that he basically saw me as a lump of meat. I feel so gross.

He is not lovely in all respects (perhaps you are now trying to convince yourself that he now is by your repeated protestations of same). He to me sounds like a twunt of the first order. Don't settle for such crappy nonsense from him because all that does is lower your self esteem/worth even more.

A nice partner would make far more effort as well towards you and be considerate as well. The NL is not on the other side of the world after all.

He sounds revolting. Turned his phone off has he? - how Passive Aggressive, I absolutely hate that.

You feel shakey and shivery for a reason, in one of the books I read, can't remember which the author says if you get that shakey, shivery, sick feeling after an incident with your partner take notice of it as it is a true sign you have been abused.

Any man who can upset his DP to the extent he has or tries to force you to do something sexual that you are not entirely comfortable and up for is not "fabulous".

Not at all.

And I do understand what it is like to be away from your DP - DH is overseas at the moment and I have to be in the UK. It is frustrating for both of us at times but I cannot begin to imagine having the exchange that you and your DP had - it's absurd.

He's "only attracted to you" (so whinges that porn isn't good enough, hoping you'll comply through "flattery") yet "jokes" (?!?) that if you don't do what he wants he'll go to a prostitute .... what an absolute arrogant spoilt brat and nasty with it. How bloody disrespectful. Basically saying that he's only interested in you for what you can give him sexually ..... i.e. anyone would do.

There is another thread going on from a poster called Valentina which has a lot of parallels to this .... both "men" putting their women under pressure sexually, and both where kids are "getting in the way" in some respect yet the men expect the women to put them 1st. Makes me really angry .... women aren't bits of meat.

He is not nice or lovely, nice and lovely guys don't emotionally blackmail the OH into doing something they feel uncomfortable with, when their kids are in the room.

Nice guys don't "threaten" to go to prostitutes if they don't get their own way, "joking" or not, he is vile 100%
