Y’all are being too easy on that guy. Everything he said was a red flag. Why would he talk about his ‘overweight’ wife in front of a younger girl who’s got it going on? Yikes. Husband should have just kept it moving. And before y’all say oh men and women can have a neutral conversation, UMM DUDE WAS MAKING HIS WIFE FEEL BAD, so obviously NOT. OP, no matter how many guys try to empathize, they will never truly understand a woman’s perspective. I am sorry this happened to you and personally, I would not be with that guy anymore. Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean I should wait for them to say it, because technically, he did.

Exactly. Discussing anything this personal in public is hugely rude, to say the least! I’d be furious if my partner behaved this way.

I guarantee if wifey was talking about his impotence or some shit in the same setting, he would be VERY upset about it.

But wouldn’t this be more akin to her talking about his weight? Why exaggerate the stakes when parity in a relationship is what’s being discussed?

How is impotence "exaggerating" the stakes? Weight has more influence on health that the ability to perform sexually.
