How exactly was it worded, if it was as you just said then yes, plus I’d be concerned

TuTru · 02/06/2018 01:36

If my oh actual said he fancied any fit 16 yr old it would piss me off mainly for her age tho. The rest prob wouldn’t bother me nowadays. As long as I was free to do the same if I felt like it.
I would prob go off a man who fancied 16!yr olds tho if I’m honest.

Wtf!! Of course. My ex use to do this about his friends step daughter. Always saying how she was stunning (teenage young girl but not sure how old) him and his friend use to eye her up . It use to make me very uncomfortable. And the hi beautiful is unbelievably disrespectful.

TuTru · 02/06/2018 01:37

Stunning and gorgeous are fine.
Fancying and fit are not basically

Peachsnowpop · 02/06/2018 01:43

I feel so ugly after his comments - if that makes sense. We all see eye candy we Like but we don't openly admit it. He has made me feel worthless

I'd kick him to the kerb frankly. How disrespectful is he? I wouldn't like a person like that at all. Who exactly does he think he is apart from an asshole? Confused

Fedupdogandkids · 02/06/2018 02:57

Eeeek this one is tricky as you can't hear context on the internet! I can certainly say 'what a pretty lad' though I usually only comment if it's someone I come into regular contact with (ie my cousin, my mate's son, etc.) and wouldn't probably just comment on a person walking down the street. The only time my husband outwardly 'appreciates' someone's beauty is if they're a celebrity/movie star. We're both teachers and he's acknowledged that girls in his school are 'pretty' (usually when talking about how horrible they are lol) but it's a purely observational comment, not a sexual one. He would never comment on someone walking down the road! I have no doubt in my mind that he might THINK it at times - goodness sake, I do! - but he certainly doesn't say it out loud (at least not while I'm with him!).

sadiesnakes · 02/06/2018 03:50

No it's disgusting, sleazy and basically paedophilia. I feel bad for you op, such a horrible situation to be in.

Slapbetcommissioner · 02/06/2018 04:21

I wouldn't be angry, I'd be disgusted.

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 02/06/2018 04:25

You seem more upset that he’s admitted he is attracted to other people than you are that he’s looking at 16 year old girls. He’s repulsive. And no, he shouldn’t say that to you even if he’s disgusting enough to look. He’s making you feel awful and he knows he’s making you feel awful. Why would you want to be with someone like this?

RainySeptember · 02/06/2018 04:26

Describing a 16yo as stunning or gorgeous is fine, but saying they're fit and that you fancy them is not (though not paedophilic as a pp suggested).

Saying 'hello beautiful' to a stranger while he held your hand is completely disrespectful. What are you going to do about it?

OliviaStabler · 02/06/2018 04:27

I would be angry. I'd assume he was making a point about my looks and attractiveness versus theirs.

Takfujuimoto · 02/06/2018 04:34

I'd mainly be repulsed by him and to clarify after his statement I'd ask him, " oh you mean xxxx? Who's 16 and young enough to be your daughter, xxxx who would probably upchuck if she ever heard you say that? Yeah she quite pretty, tell you what let's finish this, because frankly you make me sick and then you're free to go and proposition the poor girl. 🤢

He sounds vile op, ltb.

Ceebs85 · 02/06/2018 04:37

I wouldn't be angry, I'd be disgusted

sadiesnakes · 02/06/2018 04:40

@RainySeptember, in Ireland, where I live, the age of consent is 17, so therefore yes, paedophilic.

daisychain01 · 02/06/2018 04:59

Calling a woman "fit" is beyond creepy imo. Just the worst descriptor ever. I've dumped a bloke in the past for talking like that, I just can't stand the objectification of women. So I feel sorry for you that you married someone who's that sleazy.

beetfarmer · 02/06/2018 05:06

Eww gross. He called someone beautiful? Good god no op. You need to leave this asshole.

RainySeptember · 02/06/2018 05:23

Sadiesnakes, still not paedophilic, which describes an attraction to prepubescent children.

RainySeptember · 02/06/2018 05:29

Daisychain, I have friends who use the word 'fit' to describe men. I'm surprised it's offensive. What word should I encourage them to use to describe someone sexually attractive to them?

HoppingPavlova · 02/06/2018 05:32

If my DH ever said he fancied one of our teens friends or indeed anyone in that age group I would be beyond disgusted. I would consider this to be a defect I couldn’t move past. He would have to go, no way could I have a group of poor unsuspecting kids innocently going about their business with some sicko man lusting after them in the background. Repulsive.

sadiesnakes · 02/06/2018 05:37

@RainySeptember paedophilia is an attraction to underage children. If op's dh were to have sex with a 16 year old, he would be labelled a paedophile in court and signed to a sex offenders register.

NotTakenUsername · 02/06/2018 05:46

I’d be angry (and repulsed) because she was 16yrs.

It wouldn’t make me feel ugly or worthless. It would make him look ugly and worthless to me, though.

RainySeptember · 02/06/2018 05:51

Sadiesnakes, being attracted to children in mid to late adolescence, age 15-19, is ephebophilia.

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 02/06/2018 05:54

It’s not just the age. It’s his friend’s son’s girlfriend. Seriously, isn’t that almost like fancying your own child’s girlfriend? Just ew.

RainySeptember · 02/06/2018 05:55

And he wouldn't be labelled a paedophile in court as it isn't a legal definition. OP's dp is sleazy and disrespectful but I don't think there's any need to make her feel worse by throwing that word around.
