I've name changed obviously. Been seeing someone for a few months & lately things have become a little more serious with "feelings" being mentioned by him. Started to let my barriers down a bit & things were progressing nicely. That is until the other evening. We were at his, had drunk a fair bit of wine and we were being silly dancing in the living room and stuff. We had a bit of a sarcastic exchange over something silly and he said in retaliation, "yeh, will I don't like smelly pussy's". It was completely unrelated to our spat & I was so astounded, I said nothing, got my stuff together, called a taxi and went home and cried my eyes out. He text a few times that night trying to cover up what he said & apologised but I can't get passed it. Next day I had to get something I left at his (not least of all my car) and he brought it out, said nothing, no other apology and I haven't heard anything from him since. I'm fastidious about my cleanliness because there are times I think I smell but just assumed I was being a bit paranoid & now I'm wondering how I could ever let anyone have oral sex with me again after that. I was right to walk away ladies, wasn't I? It hurts because I'm embarrassed but also cause I liked him & was enjoying being cuddled & kissed & being important to someone.

It is very hard. At times I fear not completely doable for us (me and DH). I am much more understanding of Ds's difficulties than DH's. (That's a whole other thread Smile )

My way of handling such a situation in my relationship would be: to be completely shocked, of course, by such a comment. I would stop. Say very seriously, "That was completely out of order. You have really upset me. I don't want to be near you right now. I'm going home and will call you tomorrow."

I would expect someone who had made this comment because of a social difficulty to then be contrite, apologetic and never utter this comment again. They may however, come out with something equally daft.

With DH I have a 'signal'. Raised eyebrows, serious voice and I say "inappropriate, DH". He then often looks flustered (as it is embarrassing for him to have overstepped the mark), apologizes and goes off to ?cringe into a pillow presumably. When he returns though, it's as if nothing has happened. Incident finished - he apologized, right? That part is hard for me.

If your bloke has said it because he's just nasty, he may behave differently.
