If a male who was meant to love you came out with this ....what would you think?

Sorry re-read and think I get a better gist now.

He didn't like your

'Here we go again' comment

Oakmaiden · 05/08/2020 00:11

He didn't like your

'Here we go again' comment

I think I would react unhappily to someone saying that to me too.

PurpleDaisies · 05/08/2020 00:11

When challenging a complete contradiction he had just said for instance (not what was actually said) 'I want to be with you forever' and in the next breathe 'this will never work'
My reply 'oh here we go again'

What did you expect the response to “oh here we go again” to be? That sounds like someone wanting to start an argument.

Why are you two together?

BluebonicPlague · 05/08/2020 00:13

I was astounded recently to learn that a friend of mine and her husband regularly call each other cunts. I can't imagine living like that, but she laughs about it and they seem happy enough. So I guess it all depends on what you're used to, but it's not something I'd want any member of my family to get used to.

I'd personally find 'patronising' more wounding than the rest of it, because in my case it would be more likely to be true.

Viviennemary · 05/08/2020 00:15

I'd think he was very annoyed.

Shouldbedancingyeah · 05/08/2020 00:16

Depends on the context and whether I thought I was being a patronising bitch

IWantT0BreakFree · 05/08/2020 00:17

What's wrong with saying "here we go again" when faced with someone who is (presumably for the millionth time) contradicting themselves RE their level of commitment to the relationship? Sure it's not productive, but it's a fair enough comment if someone is repeatedly exhibiting the same poor behaviour.

Maggie90 · 05/08/2020 00:18

Sounds like he was maybe saying he wants to be with you forever but due to x,y and z it will never work (presumably x,y and z are issues he has with you) and when trying to address them with you or raise them, you dismissed what he was saying in a patronising tone.

He sounds fed up?

Queenest · 05/08/2020 00:18

He sounds delightful. Has he ever called you a fucking bitch before?

QuacksInTheDark · 05/08/2020 00:21

It’s not ok to use misogynistic language towards a woman just because a man is angry with said woman. Just like it wouldn’t be ok for a white person to use racist language against a black person just because they’re angry with that person.
I don’t give a fuck what she did or said as soon as you use sexist/misogynistic words to attack a woman as far as I’m concerned he’s a complete cunt and can fuck right off with that bullshit.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 05/08/2020 00:21

@HollowTalk

I'd think:
  • this is what he actually believes (no matter how much he protests he didn't mean it later, when he's dumped)
  • he's believed this for a long time
  • he hates women.

I'd dump him as soon as the words were out of his mouth.

Wow, you think he hates all women from one statement made when having an argument in which you don't know the context?
MonkeyToesOfDoom · 05/08/2020 00:23

"oh here we go again"

Passive aggressive, useless, spoiling for an argument... But I'd not say patronising..

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 05/08/2020 00:24

I don’t give a fuck what she did or said as soon as you use sexist/misogynistic words to attack a woman as far as I’m concerned he’s a complete cunt and can fuck right off with that bullshit.

But using the word cunt to describe a man you've never met is fine? Weird..

Good point.

All misogynists are cunts. But you seem to want to defend them for some reason which is also very weird 🤔

QuacksInTheDark · 05/08/2020 00:32

Also I’m not sure why I need to get to know him to be able to call him a cunt. Person who is a misogynist evidenced by calling a woman a bitch = cunt. No need for me pal up with the guy to decide it’s pretty clear.

FizzyGreenWater · 05/08/2020 00:36

Bye Felipog.

hammie46i · 05/08/2020 00:59

I'd end it.

ConquestEmpireHungerPlague · 05/08/2020 01:00

I'd take it on the chin tbh, but then I am very patronising. I roll my eyes and say things like 'Oh, here we go again...' quite a lot. You can't really expect people to react well. But I'm in a happy and solid relationship with a man who's definitely not a misogynist - YMMV.

MashedSpud · 05/08/2020 01:37

I couldn’t be with someone who blows hot and cold. If he’s 19 or so then immaturity might make him behave that way but I’d still walk.

Life’s too short and there’s billions of men on the earth. Don’t settle for a scumbag.

Lookyloo · 05/08/2020 02:18

Sounds like you crossed a line for him (unless this is his usual lingo).

Time for you to part ways I think.

Sounds like the relationship is over.

Pieceofpurplesky · 05/08/2020 02:46

It depends on context. If you said 'oh here we go again' it would piss me off and i would snap something back.

Without the ACTUAL context it is impossible to say.

Something like 'how many times do I have to tell you' or similar ...

More context needed I think.
