Dealbreaker, am I right?

My BF of four months made a comment about my DD10 and now I need to end the relationship. I just need to check that I’m not overreacting.

BF hasn’t met my children, they don’t know about him. He stayed over Saturday night as my kids were away. On Sunday morning I was making him a quick piece of toast before he left (kids due back) and asked what he wanted on it, he said he wanted some of the Maltesers chocolate spread which was in a jar on the side.

I made a jokey comment about it how it “belonged” to DD10 (she’d chosen it in the shop) and that I hoped she wouldn’t notice.

He then said that he’d already tried it and when I took the lid off I could see that a bit more had gone. He said he’d helped himself with his finger and then he made a comment about DD10 “having a long man’s finger in her sweet pot (fnarr, fnarr)” which was a clearly sexualised comment. I replied with a shocked “That’s my ten year old daughter you’re talking about!” He then left and I think I need to end things because his comment has totally creeped me out.

(I've namechanged due to the content)

He’s not a nice man.

WisestIsShe · 05/11/2018 07:23

Definitely bin him. What a disgusting man.

Alicatz66 · 05/11/2018 07:25

Yuk ... definitely get rid of him ..

leaveituntiltomorrow · 05/11/2018 07:25

Gross. Bin him.

Weird comment aside - who the fuck sticks their finger in a pot of spread? Nasty, dirty, weird. Yuk.

DancingForTheDog · 05/11/2018 07:26

Oh yuck, what a disgusting creep!

Greenskybluegrass · 05/11/2018 07:26

@leaveituntiltomorrow I know! That grossed me out by itself! When you're a guest in someone's house too

The fact he put his dirty germy finger in a jar of food in someone else's house is gross enough!

What he said is absolutely gross and I don't know anyone who would think that's not creepy in the extreme. Yuchy yuchy yuchy.

FireworksAndSparklers · 05/11/2018 07:29

I was initially thinking that it was a bit grim, the sticking his finger in the chocolate spread and then I read his comment about your daughter and audibly gasped. I don't know how you didn't chuck him out then and there! You are not overreacting, he is disgusting and thank goodness your daughter never had to meet such a misogynistic prick!

sackrifice · 05/11/2018 07:30

Good grief.

You are right. Bin this one off.

RedVelvetLinesTheBlackBox · 05/11/2018 07:31

Definitely end it. Your instincts are spot on here.

Beaverhausen · 05/11/2018 07:34

I would have marched him right out there, good on you for having the right instinct.

ogglet · 05/11/2018 07:36

Eeeergh that is creepy, get rid OP! And a new jar of spread too!

datingdisaster41 · 05/11/2018 07:43

Absolutely - revolting man. Inappropriate comment at the very least - I would Chuck him now.

penisbeakers · 05/11/2018 07:46

That is fucking VILE. Drop him faster than a hot rock.

BleakBetty · 05/11/2018 07:48

Total dealbreaker. On the bright side, at least this man has shown you his true creepy colours early on. Put him in the bin!

Kittykat93 · 05/11/2018 07:51

That's absolutely disgusting. What a creep!

Snipples · 05/11/2018 07:57

Grim. That's made me feel a bit sick. Definitely get rid and please god chuck the spread too. I can't believe he said that. What an absolute creep. I have a daughter and if any man made that comment or anything of that ilk they wouldn't be in my house or anywhere near her. Sorry OP.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 05/11/2018 08:00

You are right in wanting to end things now with this person. That is who he truly is, bin this shithead off.

CS12345 · 05/11/2018 08:00

Jesus. Just adding to the consensus that you're doing the right thing. Who the actual fuck makes comments like that.

SparklyMagpie · 05/11/2018 08:11

That's just made me gag Sad

mumisalliam · 05/11/2018 08:13

Horrific

ChicagoBunfight · 05/11/2018 08:14

That is the grossest thing I've ever heard. I hope you got him out very, very quickly. Disgusting.

SputnikBear · 05/11/2018 08:14

Ew. Bin him immediately.

BuffaloCauliflower · 05/11/2018 08:16

You’re not overreacting at all, that’s disgusting and is a clear insight into how he sees the world. He probably won’t think there’s anything wrong with it either.

ree348 · 05/11/2018 08:22

That's vile and not even a funny thing to say!

Did he look embarrassed after you told him off or did he apologise?

I would dump him too if anyone said that about my kids!
