Could you forgive your partner / spouse if they called you

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…

Disgusting.
Never forgive that.

Burntt · 19/06/2025 16:59

Nope. Not after 3 months. After 3 years if it was literally the only nasty thing he ever said to me, and he was an amazing partner, and had suffered a bereavement, and was in physical pain, and I had actually actually been horrible to the man I may overlook it one time. If he begged forgiveness.

ClickClickety · 19/06/2025 16:59

Horrible, horrible man and clearly one to never see again.

BiscuitBotherer · 19/06/2025 17:00

Why the fuck would you want to get past it?

outerspacepotato · 19/06/2025 17:02

"he might as well take what he wants from me as that’s what I think of him anyway."

Damn, he's rapey as hell. And that's besides the name calling 3 months in.

He showed you what he is and you'd better believe it.

Block block block block block block block

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 19/06/2025 17:02

Nope. Totally unforgivable. The blocking is petty and childish too. He’s done you a favour by showing his true colours so early on. 3 months in should be the honeymoon period, he sounds awful and totally incapable of resolving issues or having a discussion like a grown up. Not the type of bloke you want in your life. Sorry OP, it must be disappointing but he needs to go.

And also....of course boobs bounce during sex!!!! They aren't solid objects. They are not made of wood.

He's been watching a lot of porn with women with rock hard plastic boobs basically.

@sunshineandroses25 It's a no from me. The C word is my line in the sand if it's used as a weapon. Calling you fat is bad enough but the two together. Block and delete (and a ring doorbell maybe).

pictoosh · 19/06/2025 17:03

Immature and nasty. That's what he is. Now you know.

DontTouchRoach · 19/06/2025 17:05

What the hell are you doing with this repulsive man?

If he's behaving like this after only three months, what the hell do you think he'll be like long-term? I'll give you a clue: an abusive bag of shit. Block, block, block and don't ever speak to him again. Seriously. He is utterly repellent and I strongly suspect he will eventually become violent.

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

Has this man ever actually had sex with an adult woman before? Because that is exactly what all tits do during sex and men invariably love it.

MischiefandMayhemManaged · 19/06/2025 17:06

The minute the Cunt word made an appearance we would be done. If he's showing his true colurs this early on, it won't get any better

Wishimaywishimight · 19/06/2025 17:06

It's the "fat" bit you are more upset with? That is awful but "c*" is even worse (IMO).

I would run a mile from any person who spoke to me like this. If you forgive this, he will know just how much abuse you are willing to take. This will not be a one off. A decent man would never speak to a woman like this.

sonjadog · 19/06/2025 17:07

Firstly, it wasn't just the name that was horrible, it was everything he said. He revealed himself to have a nasty streak. Lucky escape for you that he showed you how repellent he is early on.

Secondly, all tits bounce during sex. If you think about what they are made of, it is obvious that they are going to bounce. Has he actually had sex or just watched porn?

Dortin · 19/06/2025 17:09

Pretty Unanimous I’d say. Bin him and Block him.

W0tnow · 19/06/2025 17:09

Well, I’m not sure what kind of sex he’s been having….

Solongtoshort · 19/06/2025 17:09

Think more of yourself, want more for yourself.

Cherrysoup · 19/06/2025 17:11

I’d never speak to him again. He sounds vile.

BlueRin5eBrigade · 19/06/2025 17:12

Absolutely not. You've know this guy for 3 months. Honestly, this is as good as it gets. In the first 2 years they are on their best behavior. If he's calling you a can't now I dread to think how things will escalate.

RunningBlueFox · 19/06/2025 17:12

Wow - been with my DH over 30 years and he's never called me anything like that. 3 months! Flipping hell OP get rid.

DoggyDaySpa · 19/06/2025 17:13

MrBiscuits24 · 19/06/2025 15:58

Absolutely zero forgiveness from me. What a horrible and nasty thing to say and do.

This ⬆️

I’m in my 60s now, and as far as I can remember no man has ever called me this!
What a foul thing to say…particularly as you’re in a relationship… and still in the “early days” of it ( when it should be 💋❤️‍🔥💘 )

No. No. No.

You can do SO much better than this vile person.

Knittedfairies2 · 19/06/2025 17:13

If your boobs don't bounce, he ain't doin' it right...

MyHouseInThePrairie · 19/06/2025 17:14

Absolutely, utterly awful.
Its not just the c**t either, it’s the whole way he tried to make you feel bad and punish you by criticising your body on top.

If he is like this after 3 months, I dint want to think how he’d be inn1 year or more.

Get rid and save yourself some heartache.

anonymoususer9876 · 19/06/2025 17:14

Simple - no.

SENSummer · 19/06/2025 17:15

After 3 months?!?!? I’m aghast honestly.

I’m 6 years married with two kids and I wouldn’t forgive my DH!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 19/06/2025 17:15

Not someone I had only been with for 3 months, no. If he’s calling you this now, what will things be like in years to come.

if it’s a long term relationship that is otherwise happy, I would think that there would be something more behind that remark.

Derbee · 19/06/2025 17:15

Run, OP. This one needs to get back in the bin.

Your question is a bit misguided too. He is nowhere near your partner or spouse. He is a dickhead that is using you for sex, and went on the vicious attack when it was pointed out or questioned.

Some arguments/comments/behaviours may be forgiven by spouses or long term partners (within reason, and depending on context/remorse erc) but there is NO reason to try and work through anything with this piece of shit.
