I recently agreed to try again with an ex. I am in my fifties as is he and it has been hard to find someone single and not weird. Politically we are very different. I am a Socialist and he is to the right of the Tory Party! Anyway last night out for dinner and we started a discussion about the report on the Met. He said it was all made up, one bad apple etc and said something derogatory about it being written by a woman. I was horrified that he couldn’t acknowledge it at any level. I know it sounds mad but I don’t want to be with someone who won’t even acknowledge the issues. Is it unreasonable to stand by my principles?

Stand by your principles, and raise your standards.

Why are you wasting your time with this guy?

Of course it's not unreasonable! Views that he has on women, expectations of women and how it is all right to treat women and what is serious and what isn't, will inevitably affect how he treats you in this relationship.

It sounds like you got back with him because you didn't find anyone else. Is that right? I'd stand by my principles if I were you - unless you're the sort of person who can let his views just wash over you?

He’s a dick. Dump him. FACT!

If he thinks the Met is an issue of one bad apple then he's a 100 foot long string of scarlet bunting.

Nothing is worth that.
