Should I feel as hurt as I do?

On new years day we spent the day with my partners family. We were having a good time until they got talking about a friend of theirs, this friend has a girlfriend and my partner commented on how good looking she was and said that he would go with her if she wanted him too. This hurt like hell, I know he was joking around but its been 2 days and it has me on rock bottom. I suffer from depression and I have been constantly thinking about what he said, I now feel like I am inadequate, that I am not good enough the way I am. It is really getting me down and I have no idea what to do about it.

Thanks for all the comments. I am going to have a talk with him tomorrow when he comes back from work. I know he was drunk and I know all the other lads were talking about her but I don't want to feel like this about a stupid comment.

@Jennifail wishing you the very best!!
HELL YEAH. I WOULDVE CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS BULLSHIT RIGHT THEN AND THERE


that is soooooo fucking disrespectful. Fucking pig.

I've felt that level of disrespect, and it's confusing. You don't want to make comments like that okay, but you also don't know if it's enough to leave him.

I don't know, girl. That's beyond disrespectful, and I don't blame you for feeling that way at all.


Try talking to him and let him know how it made you feel.

Chances are he's just stupid and didn't be mean it. What he responds to you with is something to watch.

He will either try to fix it or leave it for you to deal with.

Idiotic thing for him to say especially if he’s aware of your depression. Talk it out with him, let him know how you feel.

@LyricalOne Exactly!!
Dick...sorry but that's a total sick situation..sure it's OK to say she's pretty, and if you have the kind of relationship where you are both openly vocal about sexual attraction etc then fine, but he should know you better than anyone and know that you are not OK with it, and he should sure as hell not be disrespectful enough to ever voice a desire such as that (no matter how theoretical)...total dick move...you need to tell him now bad it made you feel jen...

I think you need to tell him how you feel... It can be hard the first few times but it's about respecting yourself ... You need to talk about your feelings to him.. the usual recommendation yours something asking the lines of"when you say so and so, it makes me feel like .....", You have to link his actions to your feelings.

PS, I think he's an idiot for saying that in front of you

That was inappropriate. It's fine to admire someone's beauty. It's not okay to do it in a way that insults your partner.
I would bring that up to him. Let him know how comments like that make you feel... He should have respect for that.

If he was really joking it was just a bad and stupid joke. You should find a way to let it go.

What about you is inadequate? Have you felt this way before he said this?

@RippinKlouds I would agree except the guy stated he would date the other girl instead of the gf. The part about the girl's appearance becomes irrelevant when he said that.
