She was exactly my type

I’m a little bit upset but I wanted to check whether I was just being over sensitive.

My boyfriend was telling me a story about a woman he had met and described her as ‘5ft 1, slim (etc) and exactly my type’.

I am 6ft and decidedly not slim and really could not be the opposite of ‘his type’.

I feel a bit like second best but then maybe I’m just being over sensitive because he is with me and not the 5ft 1 woman (presuming she’d be interested of course).

Am I being ridiculous?

You’re allowed to end any relationship, for any reason, at any time.

Doesn’t matter what he denies or doesn’t deny. It’s how he’s making you feel and what he’s doing about it that matters.

I’d yeet him into the sea, frankly.

You need him to agree that he wants to bring you down before you break up with him?

Sorry no, I just meant that he seems to be genuine and that I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt in the past.

Are you going to continue to do so? As this seems pretty clear.

You're definitely not being overly sensitive.

That comment was designed to put you down/make you feel 'less than' - it was a shitty thing to say and his reply about you having a jealous streak adds further weight. Whether is fully realises what he is doing or not by his age he should've learnt that comments like this are far from ok. This is his personality flaw: If he was in a relationship with a petite 5'1'' in time he would probably be making comments to subtly put them down in an attempt to raise his own self esteem to them.

How long have you been with him? Is this the first time he has made you feel like this/shown his emotionally immature side?
