Sick of DH doing this

102 replies

RedAndYellowTulips · 28/06/2020 17:21

About 6 months ago, DH, who has always done 'jokes' that only he thinks are funny, started to have a comical (in his opinion) obsession with my breasts.

Each time he walked up to me he'd keep grabbing my boobs, and it escalated to him grabbing them constantly and shouting 'boobies' in the way that the Cookie Monster says 'cookies'. I know this sounds ridiculous but it's the best way to describe it. He also does other stuff involving my breasts too, which I'm not going to describe as it's a total cliche thing that men do but he keeps doing it and I hate it.

If I wear anything that is remotely revealing he keeps saying 'boobies'. The other day I put on a bikini and sat in the garden and he came and sat in the garden too and kept saying 'boobies' and trying to grab them. In the end I went in and got changed as I just couldn't take it anymore.

It's starting to make me feel really dirty. I have in the past been sexually abused by a boyfriend in my early teens and it's making me feel so dirty because of that, I think. I've told DH time and time again that I hate it and not to do it but he says it's just a joke and that I've got no sense of humour.

I'm only a 32C BTW, not that it would make a difference to it being wrong if I had massive boobs but it's not like they're huge and in his fucking face all the time.

He sounds absolutely fucking ridiculous. Do you ever have sex with him? This would be the biggest turn off ever. Get him to fuck.

If you're not a troll, then I'd tell him to stop it. If he doesn't you'll cut all his clothes. Whatever you choose to do in retaliation make it very sharp. Or leave the bastard. He's doing it to put you down and showing you he doesn't respect you. Also it's fucking creepy.

What happens if you really stood up to him cos I think he's doing it because you're a doormat. If my DH did it to me, he'd know if really quite literally cut his balls off but I'd offer to cut all his car tyres off first.

I was going to say the same @Tanfastic! My exh used to do this to me quite a bit and I found it really annoying / degrading too. Trouble is he thought it was funny. I should have tried a punch in the dick every time he came near me!! The fact you've told him you don't like it means he's a twatt. I divorced mine so not sure i have a solution, sorry

I think you have a respect problem in your relationship and I'd threaten to leave unless he stopped.

@RedAndYellowTulips

He's said I've got an attitude problem in the past when I've not gone along with his jokes. He had one for ages saying I smelt down below, again when I didn't like his joke I had an attitude problem.

He has an abuse problem. I'd have ended this long ago, with the first 'joke'. It's never too late. He's using this tactic to abuse you.

Every time he says you have an attitude problem or no sense of humour, you tell him, you have an abuse problem.

He gropes you, you pull his hands off, 'Stop that! It's abuse.'

I really hope you don't have kids seeing htis.

Do the Freedom Programme. And get away from this abusive cunt.

This is deliberate and abusive as is saying your fanny smells, he clearly knows you don't like it but he is making you accept it - because he is bigger than you and he is a bully. A hard smack in the chops is what I would do to defend myself from this kind of assault. Get nasty OP, because he is. Fucking abusive scum.

This is really fucking annoying. It's a turn off, and it's not a joke if it's not funny to you.

@Cp1618 I don't know what world you're living in, but this is not normal at all. Maybe a bloke might do something like this once as a joke when someone's lying in bed (though I haven't even experienced anything like that) but not all the time when someone's just trying to go about their everyday life. Being grabbed when you're just trying to do your own thing is fucking irritating.

who has always done 'jokes' that only he thinks are funny,
I've told DH time and time again that I hate it and not to do it but he says it's just a joke and that I've got no sense of humour.

Abusive men often claim unpleasant and hurtful things they do and say are 'just joking.' What other 'jokes' has he made over the years?

He sounds kind of abusive OP. Sad Sad Sad

Fuck anyone who tells you it's your fault because you're prudish. His behaviour is nowhere close to normal.

OP, this is so upsetting to read, it must be so much worse in RL.

Ugh! This is awful. He doesn't seem to recognize or care that you're a person, with feelings. Sad

@whenitalkaboutsexnobodylistens Is it somehow funny?

These are not jokes. They really aren't.
Even if he thought repeatedly grabbing your breasts and telling you your vagina smells bad ( Hmm is he 12?) were funny jokes, he would have stopped the minute you said you didn't like it.

Oh hehehe my genitals smell bad that's so funny tell me another, you are hilarious.

Bundlemuffin · 28/06/2020 17:54

FFS, these things are not jokes, they are abuse.

He repeatedly does stuff he knows you hate and touches you when he knows you don't want him to. He enjoys doing this; it's a power trip to him where he can grab your body or insult you and you can't stop him.

He is a fucking abuser. Sorry to be so rude, but he really is.

"Boobies!"... in a Cookie Monster voice? Goddamn, that's enough to put anyone's sex drive in the deep freezer. What are you, his wet nurse-cum-slam-piece? Confused

Sorry, he could get fucked for that alone. He sounds bloody awful OP. You don't have an attitude problem, he sounds like a cunt.

Really?
Men grab your breasts and tell you your fanny reeks? I don't know what men you associate with but perhaps it's time to move in different circles!

@ cp1618

Yes men like to feel their partners bodies but this should be done with their consent and in a loving and respectful way.

He sounds horrible, he is doing this to control and humiliate the OP. Disgusting. If you let this kind of thing continue he will wreck your self confidence and ruin your life. People on here are often too quick to recommend women to LTB but in this case it's more than time to pack your bags.
