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…

"it’s not normal for your tits to bounce during sex, you fat cunt."

Oh my word i missed this on first reading!!!!!

My word!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without being crude that's something most men love!!!!!

Take your beautiful bouncy tit's elsewhere and dont give him a seconds extra thought!!!!

DisforDarkChocolate · 19/06/2025 20:52

The bouncing os something most men absolutely love. Strange block.

ThatCyanCat · 19/06/2025 20:56

If he doesn't think boobs should move during sex, then we have to assume all his experience before you was with the kind of woman who was out of action whenever she got a puncture.

Honestly, tell me you're shit in bed and have never satisfied a woman without telling me...

Shatteredallthetimelately · 19/06/2025 20:56

3 months, 3 years, 3 decades that's a real low blow.

Fortunately a show of what they're like has happened early in the relationship.
I've seen posts on MN before where using the word c**t is seen as being ok in today's world of swear words but for me both of those words should never be directed at anyone, collectively or separate.

You're worth more than being called that.

alimac12 · 19/06/2025 20:56

If it was your husband and you were both under a lot of stress and it was a one time thing…okay but a guy you’ve been dating for 3 months already comes with this absolutely no! Is s huge red flag!

Lighteningstrikes · 19/06/2025 20:57

He’s foul.
Well done.

No. Not okay. Not ever okay.

RubyBirdy · 19/06/2025 21:09

I wouldn’t forgive my husband for saying that to me, let alone a boyfriend of 3 months.

Moonlightfrog · 19/06/2025 21:15

OP…..sorry I haven’t read the whole thread.

Just over a month ago my BF (almost a year) decided to call me a “crazy hormonal bitch”…….I asked him to leave and I haven’t spoken to him since.

No way would I put up with being called anything like that but someone who I have been seeing for 3 months….or 3 years.

Doctorkrank · 19/06/2025 21:16

Nope! Horrible man, at least you know without wasting too much time on him.

Nope. He doesn't deserve forgiveness- straight dumping.

At 3 months you're just embarking on the honeymoon ride. What hurtful measures will he be employing at month 6?

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

Hallelujah 🎊

YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME · 19/06/2025 21:26

Dump, move on.

lovemycbf · 19/06/2025 21:27

No I couldn’t forgive this at this stage of a relationship.
id block and move on

GranolaDisco · 19/06/2025 21:29

What a disgusting prick of a man. Not a chance I’d have this.

katepilar · 19/06/2025 21:48

Hell, no!

BellissimoGecko · 19/06/2025 21:49

After 3 months???? Christ, no.

Dump him.

It should be possible to have an entire relationship without him ever calling you a fat cunt.

Raise your standards.

ArtfulPinkBird · 19/06/2025 21:49

Normal people don't speak to other people like this. Please get yourself out of this relationship now before he absolutely ruins you. If he can speak to you like this only 3 months in, I dread to think of the way he will speak to you once the honeymoon period ends. Once an abuser always an abuser, you deserve so much better 💐

lifeonmars100 · 19/06/2025 21:55

Three months in and he's called you a fat cunt and blocked you? Never have anything more to do with him, he has not managed to put a lid on who he really is for all of 12 weeks! Imagine what he will be doing and saying in a year's time if you gave him another chance

Harrysmummy246 · 19/06/2025 21:55

He's shown, thankfully pretty early, his true colours. I'd walk away now before you get any deeper

He's not a partner or spouse, he's someone you've been dating a short time and clearly haven't found much out about each other. Feelings can't be that strong if you're not exclusive and I'd be finding them turning into the 'ick' by the minute after the words, never mind the blocking or the grovelling this morning.

Greyhound98 · 19/06/2025 22:03

3 months and he’s seeing how far he can push you and how low your self esteem is to see how much shit he can get away with.
Thank fuck you’re not saddled with kids and a mortgage with him, Chuck him away. Runty little man.
Also, don’t expose your weak points so early on in a relationship, it’s just giving ammunition to these arseholes.

TubeScreamer · 19/06/2025 22:07

No

Inapickle3012 · 19/06/2025 22:08

Ahh mate that’s a low blow from him? What else does he expect tits to do during sex? If he can be that nasty after 3 months then please see this as a lucky escape. That is awful and you will always feel insecure.

im a petty bitch and would of replied “it’s also not normal to not be able to feel the penis during sex, little dick cunt”

block and delete, enjoy your chinese and let those titties bounce ❤️

LurkyMcLurkinson · 19/06/2025 22:09

Verbal abuse during the first three months screams domestic abuse perp so please keep him blocked. Have you done the freedom programme before? I highly recommend completing it before you start dating again.

chickenlettuceunderbacon · 19/06/2025 22:10

Why would you consider spending a second more with a man who called you that? He's not your partner, he's just a guy who you've been seeing albeit not even exclusively.

Have some respect for yourself. End things.
