The ick. Am I overreacting

[sweetstufflonndon]

So my partner who in the past hasn’t exactly been a knight in shining armour when I needed him last night put up a post on instagram. The image was quite cheesy and cringy, of a cloked knight brandishing a sword a d looking steely and protective, and the post was about Kate Middleton. He basically went on a rant uncharacteristically swearing and being angry and talking about himself in the third person and offering to fight and knock out the teeth of anyone who had or was going to hound her in the future and it read to me like a man who was defending his woman..

Now I get that he’s a royalists and that what happened to Kate was and is terrible but what bothers me is that he’s previously told me on several occasions that Kate reminds him a lot of how his ex wife looked in her “hey day” (his words). I can’t help feeling that this over protective defending thing is linked to that and triggering something. Am I mad to make that connection? It’s just that it was so out of character and such a strong reaction that I can’t quite get my head around it.

At least when you dump him everyone who's seen that post will understand why. Good reason to get rid. Seize the opportunity, and not because you're jealous(well let's hope not) but because he's a weird, self delusional nut head

It’s similar to posters gushing about their relationships on social media, meanwhile they’re been deciding whether to trigger the most acrimonious divorce of the year.

He sounds absolutely wet in real life and probably let the ex wife down and ‘couldn’t rescue her’ whatever the fuck I mean by that I don’t even know, so he’s deluding himself by posting he’s half way the strong capable knight he wants to be 😂

Does it even matter why, the fact he is even capable of doing this is a sackable offence, so that he done ahead and actually done it, I don’t know OP, but my vagina would be like a snail that’s fallen into a bucket of salt.

Yep

🤣🤣🤣

Well I'm sure the Princess of Wales will get to hear of his post and feel really chuffed some rando is defending her! Not! I'm embarrassed for him! He sounds... Odd to say the least!

The post sounds insane even if you are a supporter of Britain having a royal family. Was he drunk?

Run - bloody weird unhinged man

I'd have had the ick just from the fact he's a royalist 🤢

I don't think this is an ick. To me, an ick is just a cringey moment that we all have. This is a man who has let you down in private, but pretends to be a knight in shining armour in public. He sounds misogynist (all that women in their hey day nonsense), and is using violent imagery to berate people who may disagree with him.

That's not an ick.
