Emotional abuse or a joke?

My boyfriend of just under a year said yesterday, after he offered me a sweet and i took two! "You greedy bitch".. jokingly.. i wasnt happy and he said "its just a joke! Its just a turn of phrase"...

The important thing is he did this once before about a month ago and i had a big go at him, he eventually agreed not to say again but has yesterday.

Also yesterday he said later when i.was still in a mood "what is it about that phrase u dont like... the 'B' word or "greedy"? What a stupid question?! I dont like it full stop.. why do.we need to analyse it???

Btw Ive put on a bit of weight..from a size 12 to a 14 and I have said lately i wanna lose weight.. hes never called me fat etc but i know im a good 2 stone over weight. In past ive made it clear i never want to hear weight comments or jokes so "greedy bitch" maybe wouldnt have annoyed me.so.much if i was a size ten?? I dont know.. its still not a nice phrase.. but i dont think he was.saying it as a way of calling mr fat its just his crap sense humour. He.said the exact same thing..also over sweets 3 months ago when i was slimmer.. it really offended me!! I made it clear i dont like that phrase.

Also later that day we were messin round and he jokingly said "oooh you little b..." he didnt finish the sentence.... so he calls me the bitch word in other contexts too but always jokingly

Does ur partner ever jokingly.call you a bitch? Am i too sensitive??

He sounds absolutely vile! Even if he was drop dead gorgeous, the thought of being with this person turns my stomach! Eugh

Doesn't sound funny to me. I can see how as a couple you could have some mutual banter, but you're not into that and you've told him so. He doesn't care.

"Bitch" is a horrible misogynist word.

You know he's not joking. You can do much better than him, life's too short to put up with rubbish like this.
