Sent a bum pic - he asked if I had worked out then said room for improvement?

Bit of context lol.. I sent a bum pic to my fiance... he replied why is there underwear on and then asked if I had worked out (we both know that we both need to work out but both haven't got around to it yet, a mutual thing, i ask him he asks me)
I kinda got offended because i thought that meant the pic didn't look good, so I replied kind of silly saying oh why don't you like my bum how it is haha and he replied "lol nice" (as in sarcastic like oh nice of you to say) - but didn't reassure me or anything which left me feeling a little insecure. So then I literally just said "that was a question" and he said he does like it how it is but there is always room for improvement as you would say. (i would not say this about his physical appearance)

I kind of feel like this is a odd thing to say lol - I mean granted there is! I have put on a stone or two. Just made me feel insecure, and feel it wasn't really needed. thoughts??

How do you take a photo of your bum? Do you twist your arm around so it’s from the bottom of your back, or do you stick the phone between your legs and try for an upwards view?

Prop it up somewhere, point your bum at it and tell the phone to take a picture.

Have you used your actual name for your username?

I thought that too. Is it, @sarahbranningtonxx ?

I know so little about how to get my phone to do things I think I would literally say "phone, could you please take an arse photo for me?"

Where's the mirror, lie on your back or stomach? What happens if you can't get up again? I'm clearly too old for this

I don't get this. So you'd be taking a photo of the reflection of your arse flat against the floor?

TheCadoganArms · 16/07/2024 15:30

I can't believe people can't figure out how to take a photo of ones arse.

Do we need a diagram like a parking thread?

sonjadog · 16/07/2024 15:31

I would say that I’ll try all these out and share the results with you all, but I’ll spare you that one…

Footbull · 16/07/2024 15:43

Yes please to a diagram.

@CeruleanDive we had a huge argument about that, because thats exactly what i said, if he doesn't get it from me does that mean he is going to go elsewhere? He really is against cheating though, his ex cheated and he is really loyal, so i think this was a stupid throw away comment to manipulate me into sending more pics, well i hope it was anyway.

Perhaps you are just giving a very poor impression of the man and he is indeed a gem, but based on what you've said so far I'd wager he's only very against people cheating on him ...

Throwwaway · 16/07/2024 15:54

I’d never send anyone a picture of my arse 😂 but that’s really horrible of him to say. I’ve though that about some men but would never say it to them. It’s all weird and childish.

I'm not back tracking on anything.

You see my comments as mean and judgemental because I'm not condemning your fiancé for what his reaction to you was.

I do think sending a bum picture is ridiculous. I do think inviting comment on your body and then getting upset because you didn't not like the reception your photo got is ridiculous
.
You started a thread about it on a public forum which invited people to comment.
I commented. And you didn't like my comment so you are being insulting to me.

BUT the bottom line is if you want to live your life the way you do, which includes sending pictures of various parts of your anatomy for a man to comment on, then that's fine by me. You do you.

I will live my life in my way. Which includes thinking that is a ridiculous way to spend time. That is me being discerning. Not judgemental. So I'll do me.

I agree with all of this.

OP, I feel very sorry for you. Your relationship has no legs I'm afraid. You cannot possibly be truly happy with this man.

lilactubular · 16/07/2024 16:04

I think you have to have a really, really exceptionally hot body to look good in a random phone pic sent to someone who is not imminently expecting sex but just sitting at work thinking about other stuff.
I thought my last partner was hot as fuck - its the most sexual attraction I've ever felt for a man - but if he just randomly sent through an arse pic, I'd be like 'Ewww'. It would do NOTHING for me.

Sexual messages are far better if you want to get the sort of response you seemed to. Work on getting good at those.

I'm expressing an opinion based on what you have posted on this thread and how you have posted it.
I may be totally wrong about you but that is the impression I have formed from your posts. From what you have said about yourself and what is acceptable behaviour to you.
It is not a " bitter opinion" . It is an opinion. That is what MN threads are about: opinions.
If you don't like my opinion it that is fine by me. Considering how self confident you are I don't see how the opinion voiced by a stranger on the Internet can really affect you.

As I've already said a few times on this thread you live your life , I'll live mine. But if you openly divulge things about yourself on a thread such as this you must accept people are going to draw conclusions about you.

I think you sound a bit stiff and judgy. Just relax a bit. You might be threatened by sexting. I think deep down this is the issue. You don’t want women sending pics of their bodies to people under any circumstances and if they do they are either insecure or narcissistic. But this thread is about the OPs fiancés response. She was not asking for opinions on her picture sending habit. I just wanted to point out that some people don’t really think it’s a big deal to send an arse or tit pic to someone. And the fact she has does not make her sad.

Your relationship has no legs I'm afraid.

But we have established it has an arse though.

DadJoke · 16/07/2024 16:09

It's very rude of him. He doesn't deserve more nice pics. If someone sends you a sexy picture (cosensually of course) any comment has to be positive. That's the rule. I cannot even imagine what my DP would do to me if I said "room for improvement." There are things we both know are true, but we do not say them.

lilactubular · 16/07/2024 16:12

sarahbranningtonxx · 16/07/2024 11:03

you know what the funniest thing is? he made a comment the other day which we had an argument about, he said oh if you sent me butt pics i wouldn't have to follow this girl on social media (she is a half naked account) i took serious offence... so now when i send them he says that, like you cant win.

Jesus Christ, and you are planning to marry this man? Just don't!
