A fat cunt.. during an argument?

I’ve been dating a man for 3 months, not exclusive yet but very strong feelings and we were definitely heading in that direction. We had a bit of a tiff last night, things got heated and he called me a fat cunt and blocked me.

He messaged me today and apologised profusely, said he didn’t mean it.

I’m not sure if I can get past it though. He knows I’m insecure about my weight, we’ve talked about it a few times. I’ve dated men in the past who treated me like shit and always put me down because of my weight. He knows all of this. I just feel like it was such a low blow and I would never comment on his looks (he has insecurities too). It’s also made me think is that what he really thinks of me…

No, I would never tolerate anyone calling me that. I heard my neighbours having a tiff and he called her a 'fat little fuck'. Couldn't believe it.

Scottishmamma · 19/06/2025 19:18

Block him and delete him from your life. If this is how he treats & speaks to you so early on, he will get worse. You deserve better

Get rid forever. Don’t entertain the notion of ever having anything else to do with him.

Imisscoffee2021 · 19/06/2025 19:19

No way. And a three month none exclusive relationship and he's already saying that? Was this a text too? Could he not have restrained his ire for one second to stop his fingers typing out those words and then pressing send? Either way no, you should never hear those words from anyone.

Blueyrocks · 19/06/2025 19:20

I was going to say reply to your question with "I absolutely would not forgive this, 3 months in" (and believe me I've forgiven things mumset has, rightly, pointed out are dreadful, so my bar is looowww). But I see you've made the right choice, so congratulations on a lucky escape 🎊 And as others have said, it is entirely normal for boobs to bounce during sex. I'm a bit confused by that comment actually - makes me think he's never encountered real ones before? Like, what does he thinks a bra is for? And doesn't he enjoy it? Ive been under the impression that's one of the things men like about boobs... Maybe I've been bouncing under a misapprehension.

sunshineandroses25 · 19/06/2025 18:13

@Gyozas no I’m not forgiving him, I’ve blocked his number and on social media. And also ordered a Chinese for tea to cheer myself up. Thank you x

Brilliant! He obviously doesn't have much experience with real life women if he doesn't expect tits to bounce 🤣

EdnaTheWitch · 19/06/2025 19:25

No. Just no.

LJ125 · 19/06/2025 19:27

No, I couldn’t forgive and move past that. It’s a really low, mean comment and an insight into how life will be every time you fall out. Maybe if it was in a long relationship and the rest of the relationship outweighed the bad then possibly but certainly not after 3 months. He’s shown you his true colours, don’t get suckered back in.

Louisa7747 · 19/06/2025 19:27

Absolutely no, no forgiveness. Just three months together? Imagine what his nasty streak could be capable of if something “real” happened further down the line. Stuff like this makes me shudder.

WeCouldDoBetter · 19/06/2025 19:27

Massive red flag. Ditch him. It'll only get worse.

Tirednessismydefult · 19/06/2025 19:28

Springadorable · 19/06/2025 19:07

Well he's clearly not had much sex, the absolute tool. I'm a size 8 and my tiny empty sacks of boobs (thanks breastfeeding) flap around all over the place during sex 😂

Correct answer is “you’re only doing it right if you can make them bounce”

SootysCaravan · 19/06/2025 19:29

No. It’s not a term most people would use/ lightly and especially not toward the person you see a future with. Sorry OP

Llamasarellovely · 19/06/2025 19:36

It's basically like he's advertising he's shit at sex isn't it? I mean, how do you have decent sex where the woman's tits don't jiggle? Does he want her to just lie back and think of England?
Ah well, in the bin with him and onwards to some nice earth moving boob shaking sex 😜

Dingalingalong · 19/06/2025 19:39

When you say "we're heading in that direction" do you mean the sewage?! Because if he calls you a fat cunt and blocks you during a "tiff" 3 months into the relationship, then that relationship is shit.

WiddlinDiddlin · 19/06/2025 19:41

Ew, yeet that back into the shit pile!

Either he's only ever watched porn or he's having sex with people who have literally, no boobs... and as even the tiniest boobs on an adult will jiggle... thats a thought process probably best not followed to its conclusion.

Genuinelyenquiring · 19/06/2025 19:42

Absolutely not.

FlightCommanderPRJohnson · 19/06/2025 19:43

Strangely, I would be more likely to forgive 'cunt' than 'fat cunt'.

Hollietree · 19/06/2025 19:43

If my husband of twenty years (shared children/mortgage/pets) suddenly called me a fat cunt I honestly think it would be marriage over. I could never stand for name calling, or intentionally hurtful behaviour like that. Plus the blocking afterwards 🤯

A man I had been dating 3 months - I would run for the hills and thank my lucky stars I had seen his true colours so early on.

Under no circumstance should you ever see him ever again.

Nextdoormat · 19/06/2025 19:44

He isn’t your partner or spouse so 100% no! Even if he was, it’s pretty unforgivable. He has shown you his true colours early on so get out now

Walk away. 3 months is absolutely nothing ..you don't know him, he's on best behaviour and even then.he manages to call upu a fat cunt..
I hope you realise that you are worth so so so much better
Please donr let him show you that he is capable of much worse - which this has all the signs of.

I would have already binned him just for that.

Date me or don't date me, but if I am one of many, I am not interested.
What do they think I am going to do? Trying to compete with the others? 😂I don't think so.

How a person argues or resolves conflict tells you a lot about them. You don't want to spend a lifetime with someone who insults you and then thinks they can just apologise when they've calmed down. You want someone who can control their anger.

This.

user65342 · 19/06/2025 19:53

That is unacceptable in any relationship of any duration but three months in? Imagine how he would deal with a disagreement about something significant, like the ones people have when they have a whole life together to navigate. If that’s how he communicates now it’s a sign of bigger problems to come.

Herebemonsters · 19/06/2025 19:53

fuck no!
