Husband said he could get a prettier woman than me

[Suzy25]

Hi everyone. My husband was in a bad mood and said something out of character. He said that he could get a prettier woman than me if he wanted and that he gets chatted up randomly when he’s out. He said he turns them down but I feel really insecure since he’s said this. Any ideas on why he said such a thing? Also how do I go about this? Thank you.

Tell him to give you his key as he leaves! Bye

This PP is either a bloke - and we know how much endless forgiving leeway men give other men for truly shitty behaviour towards women and children (eg Epstein, and the thousands of predatory selfish pedophiles and rapists, most of whom get off scot free) - or PP is a woman with internalised misogyny whose bar for self respect is in Hades and who clearly does not understand that this sort of negging is the first step men take to break down women they want to control.

Be warned, OP. He resents you and wants to hurt you and crush your self esteem. Not because of who YOU are but because of who HE is. You can't fix that, nor should you. You really CAN do better than him.

My response would be “off you fuck then”. I simply could not tolerate being with a partner who directly said this to me. I can cope with conflict/differences of opinion and even the odd argument to work things through, but would not be able to be with someone who said something like this to me.
