Plain Talker Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 My ex did actually use that line on me when we were splitting up...I only wish i'd been quick enough to use that response!! I had a few one-liner responses to the ex's skits. He threatened me that "I'm going to dance on your grave!" I said "Suits me fine, I'm getting buried at sea!" There was a very rare occasion where we were out, and he said, in front of the whole pub "When I get you home, I'm going to give you the best thirty seconds of your life!" I replied "... But what would I do with the other twenty-nine-and-a-half? Someone asked If I wanted to talk to my ex. I said "Yes, but only through Derek Acorah!"

shaznay Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have always accepted that I am not physically the most attractive man on earth. I hoped that my partner would be able to accept that she is not physically the most attractive woman on earth too. When I am out and about with my partner however I am not expected to make a remark about another woman being beautiful. :huh:........... I don't get it! I don't mind her thinking that some men are handsome. dont you think this is going to knock her confidence for 6, if she already has a few issues with her looks and body...she needs all the compliments you can give, if you make her feel beautiful she will ooze confidence and this is an attractive quality in any women, after all you must have found her fanciable in the first place or you wouldnt be with her stop complimenting other women and start complimenting your own woman I wouldnt be happy if my fella was oggling and commenting on other women while we were out and I certainly wouldnt be commenting on other men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 What's your motivation for commenting on another woman being beautiful when in the presence of your partner? Especially given that, when commenting, you're fully aware that your partner has no interest in hearing it, it would seem you must have some reason to continue doing so? It's pretty crass isn't it. I expect that we're all aware that there are people more attractive than us, but we don't want them pointing out to us in the street by our partners. Think about what it means when you comment. "Wow, she's pretty" What your partner hears is "Wow, she's prettier than you", and then what she assumes is that given the chance you'd rather be with the pretty girl, but you aren't because you're too ugly yourself, so not only do you not really want to be with her, but she's had to settle for an ugly bloke herself!

Yes. Which is why I asked the OP what his motivation for doing it is, as, it seemed from his post that he's fully aware his partner is, in some way, offended by it, and so he's presumably also ware that she may be thinking something like the above.

You have read an awful lot into it. Both men and women should be able to accept that some people are beautiful. I would prefer not to have a really beautiful woman anyhow.
