To be fed up

I’m so sick of my boyfriend’s behaviour - like some kind of under sexed teenager.

He has made it quite clear to me that he thinks my looks are a 5/10. He has told me I have a big nose and flat boobs.

He also seems to delight in telling me how attractive his friend’s girlfriends are. I have asked him time and time again not to comment on the attractiveness of other women and to save it for his male friends but he just does it again and again.

He’s like some sort of 48 year old teenager. I’ve just had enough and he’s just commented that his friends new girlfriend is very good looking. I didn’t ask him this and don’t want to know. Especially when he’s made it clear he thinks I’m not pretty.

I’ve just told him I’m fed up of his behaviour and feel like going and finding a man who actually thinks I’m attractive. Am I overreacting?

I think you must know you're not. Imagine if your friend or daughter told you this was how their partner was behaving...You would tell them to dump his sorry ass. It's a form of abuse really, undermining your confidence and making you feel worthless. Get rid and remember how beautiful you are

Pessismistic · 07/10/2020 21:49

so sorry your being treated this way I've been there years ago hes just knocking your self esteem have you asked him why he's dating you if he finds so many other women more attractive. Is he attractive. Have you ever turned it on him by saying his mates are better looking than him? Try it see how he reacts good luck!

burglarbettybaby · 07/10/2020 21:51

Get rid of him. He is vile.

FlorentineAz · 07/10/2020 21:53

I’ve literally been for counselling when he called me a 5/10. It destroyed what little self esteem I had left.

I’m just fed up. He’s a short, balding bespectacled middle aged man who resembles Penfold from dangermouse and whose belly gets in the way of his penis. Most people are more attractive than him in reality but I would never tell him this or comment about the attractiveness of his friends. I mean what normal person thinks this is a good idea?

Under- reaction I'd say, hope you've not put up with him for long. Ditch and be with someone who appreciates you, what he says can only bring his score ( which would have to be high for him justly comment) down to zero.

Limeandlemon · 07/10/2020 21:57

Fucking hell you deserve way better than this prick.
Why would you want to be with someone who compares you to other women and blatantly disrespects you and picks flaws with you. Get rid of him, 48 year old brad Pitt is he Hmm

Yes you can go and find someone who finds you attractive, who worships the ground you walk on.

Limeandlemon · 07/10/2020 21:59

And do tell him about the danger mouse, balding, big belly small penis thing. He utterly deserves it.

Asterion · 07/10/2020 21:59

What happiness is he bringing you? Doesn't sound like much... And he's actively making you unhappy.

Get rid! You can explain that you're doing him a favour, as he can now find his own stunna Hmm

ChelseeDagger · 07/10/2020 22:00

Hi, I'm not going to neat around the bush.

Tell him to fuck off. He is negging you because he is an insecure, ineffectual piece of shit and you deserve better. Haul your flat ass elsewhere, pronto.

noego · 07/10/2020 22:00

He puts you down because of his insecurities.

Bin him pronto before he erodes your everything.

FlorentineAz · 07/10/2020 22:01

That is the thing. When I try to explain to him why his behaviour upsets me he tells me it doesn’t matter what I look like. And tells me I’m overreacting and jealous.

FloreanFortescue · 07/10/2020 22:01

Please leave. There are plenty of people out there who are going to think you're a 10/10. He's a waste of oxygen.

Cam2020 · 07/10/2020 22:06

He's a wanker with so little confidence he has to try and destroy yours to make himself feel better. Please get rid.

NancyBotwinBloom · 07/10/2020 22:08

So he thinks your a five out of ten does he?

Have you rated him? To his face?

If this was me I'd start rating his performance in bed. I'd be an absolute twat about it.

Didn't make me come
Made strange noises
Smelt a bit weird
Foreplay felt a bit paint by numbers
Etc etc

But that's me l, I'd want to make him feel like he's made you feel.

The grown up approach would be to Fuck him off.
Get rid of him.
Tell Him a ten has asked you out and he's only a five with a filter so your off.

JorisBonson · 07/10/2020 22:08

Why are you with him? He sounds like a grade a arsehole.

Sarahlou63 · 07/10/2020 22:12

Why the fuck are you still with him???

combatbarbie · 07/10/2020 22:14

Oh what.... OP you need a witty one liner to come back with next time he does this..... Preferably one that makes reference to his belly getting in the way of his penis!!!

jeaux90 · 07/10/2020 22:20

Why are you still with him?

CarolVordermansBum · 07/10/2020 22:21

Get rid of him. He is vile.

This.

Feelingpoorlysick · 07/10/2020 22:23

Please dont stand for this. You only get one life, you deserve to spend it with someone who makes you feel loved.

amusedtodeath1 · 07/10/2020 22:25

Please leave him, he's manipulating you. He knows he's an ugly sad fuck and that you're way too good for him, so he makes you think you're lucky to have him so you won't leave him. It's not something you do to someone you care about because it fucks with their MH.

You deserve so much better.

God some men are diabolical!

Heatherjayne1972 · 07/10/2020 22:43

Are you overreacting???
No no and no
If anything you’re under- reacting He sounds vile Nice decent men don’t compare their woman to others like this And they certainly don’t put them down in such a disrespectful way
Ditch him op. There’s better out there

widespreadpanic · 07/10/2020 23:07

He sounds like a disgusting prick.

After he gave me that rating of 5/10 I would’ve told him that his sick was a ZERO. And then promptly kick him to the curb.

Mydogmylife · 07/10/2020 23:35

Dump

AnneLovesGilbert · 07/10/2020 23:37

You despise him and he’s ruining your self esteem. Why are you with him?
