Ghastly remark: bin him off?

77 replies

LanaorAna2 · 04/10/2018 11:25

My mate has just rung me in a quiver re her BF. You be the judge about what he said.

He rolled up at 8am after a night shift, very keen to see her. She ran him a bath. While she was sweetly washing his back, he said:

BF: This is great - you wouldn't get this service at No 2.
No 2 is the local brothel

Mate, in dismay: Er, what?

BF: Don't be upset - I said it's great, I said you wouldn't get this service at No 2.

Bin him off? You decide, I can't decide what to suggest.

So - he's trying to 'push hard' to move in (implies she's not ready and he's not listening).

  • he grabs her without it being something she's comfortable with
- he jokes about prostitution in a way that draws a comparison between her & a prostitute.

Nice guy.

RyderWhiteSwan · 04/10/2018 13:09

Whether she dumps him or not NO WAY should she let him move in. I can just imagine how she'd be treated then, and it isn't good.

CountessVonBoobs · 04/10/2018 13:11

Before your drip of the boob thing I would have said it was a bad joke.

this. The two together plus pushing to move in - ew, fucking vile^. He's a boundary-pusher with no respect for women.

The boob thing is actually really upsetting me. He hurt her, deliberately, in a public place where she can't really react. I don't think I would get over DH doing that and we've been married the best part of a decade.

Translation "Wow, you're not just a hole, you're a bath-running, back-scrubbing, free-of-charge hole". Grim as fuck. Bin him.

As for the boob grabbing/sexual assault Angry

Tell her to ltb.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 04/10/2018 13:18

Sorry was meant to say I totally agree with that quote.

BobLemon · 04/10/2018 13:21

I can be a bit crass with my DP. I’d probably laugh if he did either of those.

But if your mate didn’t like it, I’d encourage her to bin it off on incompatibility grounds.

Dvg · 04/10/2018 13:24

hard to say, if my partner had done either of those things i would have laughed as we joke like that BUT its hard to say if he is serious and obviously has a different humour to her,

Haireverywhere · 04/10/2018 13:24

The "joke", boob grabbing and pushing to move in all point towards end it for me.

As an aside, doesn't anyone enjoy showering or bathing together? I thought it was normal but I love scrubbing each other down.

YearOfYouRemember · 04/10/2018 13:24

You should dump him immediately.

Haireverywhere · 04/10/2018 13:24

That wasn't meant to sound dirty Blush

veggiethrower · 04/10/2018 13:25

Bin for the boob squeezing.
The other comment might have been meant as a joke - a very tasteless one though.

Threewheeler1 · 04/10/2018 13:25

Yeuch.
It seems like it's a tosser minefield out there.
How does anyone avoid stepping on one?

shonkyklingonmakeup · 04/10/2018 13:26

He's pushing her boundaries. Boundaries are good. Why would he want to push them?

PurpleTrilby · 04/10/2018 13:27

He's hideous, please tell your friend she needs to dump him, he's treating her as a servant and sexually assaulting her and wants to move in? I bet he fucking does. Nah, nightmare in the making. I'd say he can sleep on the streets with that kind of attitude.

😂😂😂😂

BigusBumus · 04/10/2018 13:29

I wash my husbands back all the time! We chat while he's in the bath, I say, hold on I'll wash your back for you. Its nice, and loving and affectionate.

I would just ask him outright if it was a joke about "Number 2". It probably was.

If she felt uncomfortable with the boob squeeze, could she not say, "Please don't squeeze my boob like that, it hurt"!

Why on Earth would you dump an otherwise nice guy for either of these reasons? Just open your mouth and speak FFS! I really don't get Mumsnet anymore and I've been on here for 15 years....

Lovemusic33 · 04/10/2018 13:30

He sounds like my ex who went on to rape me Sad

If it was just a one off joke then fine but sounds like this prick is full of himself and thinks he can say and do what ever he likes including groping her.

Tell her to run for the hills.

BigusBumus · 04/10/2018 13:32

"Sexually assaulting her" - honestly???? Her own Boyfriend squeezed her boob and its sexual assault???

LeftRightCentre · 04/10/2018 13:34

God, get rid of him. What a fucking louse. The boob squeezing and pushing hard to move in and his fucked up sense of humour. Just now. Who goes and draws a bath like this and washes an able-bodied adult just because they went to work. She sounds like she has the boundaries of a willow in a gale.

LeftRightCentre · 04/10/2018 13:36

Because he's not nice. Nice people don't dive in and grope in public or 'push hard' to move in with someone.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 04/10/2018 13:37

@BigusBumus She’s not his property you know bf or not Hmm

MulticolourMophead · 04/10/2018 13:38

Yes, dear, it is.

It was unwanted contact. Him being her boyfriend does not give him rights to her body. And he hurt her.

CountessVonBoobs · 04/10/2018 13:43

And she was at work! That's fucked up! He basically used the circumstances to assault her in such a way that she wouldn't feel able to scream, shout, or ask what the fuck he was doing.

oh4forkssake · 04/10/2018 13:46

Bin.

DH and I used to work together. No way would that have happened in the workplace, never mind any place else. (I think the boob grabbing is more offensive than the stupid joke by the way)

She needs to get shot before she gets further into this.

booboo24 · 04/10/2018 13:46

I'd take it as the joke it was meant to be and probably give him an answer and we'd laugh

My fiance grabs me sometimes, he'll do it cheekily and finds it funny when I jump a a mile and slap his hand away!

I do think that some reactions are way overboard sometimes. If she doesn't like it then tell him. Their senses of humour are clearly not matched however and so I'm guessing they'll find each other very hard work
