writes:Looking for some feedback, especially the guys out there, interested in your take on this. My relationship has very recently ended and was a long time coming,This man made me feel uncomfortable, disrespected, less than and so much more. The worst part was always his total obsession with woman, always, always the woman on TV, not a single show we watched did we ever get through without some comment on the woman, even the news ladies, how hot they look, those two are gonna hookup, I'm leaving out the sexually explicit comments that followed, it just never ended, made me feel very uncomfortable, he knew that but never stopped, I was the one with the problem, jealous, blah, blah, blah, was I over reacting or does anyone else think that this is totally crazy?

So he is making you feel the insecure one instead when really it's him with the problem. You won't get anywhere with a man like this as they are controlling, pathetic and immature and he will just make you out to be the problem when all along its him. Just get rid asap and you will start feeling better!

 You didn't say how long you put up with this ridiculous behavior but one evening of TV viewing would have been enough for me. You are definitely going in the right direction and leave him in your dust. Your life and future just got brighter.

Over reacting...You didn't react fast enough over his stupidity. Surprise you didn't shove his head through the TV.
Let him go make sweet love to the TV.
You cannot have the right guy in your life, while keeping the wrong one around.
Happy man hunting :)

 As a male I wouldn't even think to make such comments to a partner.
Extremely odd behaviour, be lucky you're free from him.

 Nope, I don't think you overreacted - I think his behavior is gross.
Now, MOST people with SOME social skills know to not do these kinds of things. IF he is your age (in his 50's-60's) I would definitely say he is WAY WAY too old for that kind of immature behavior and should KNOW better.
He might feel it's akin to "locker room" talk - but he is not in a locker room full of men, he is sitting there watching TV with you, his Partner....
Cut all contact, you can do better than some sleazy creep old dude.

I would be a bit hurt, but as Ciar says, mostly I would be totally turned off. You are not over-reacting or crazy. What he has been doing is disrespectful, tacky and yes, just plain creepy. I'm glad you're no longer with him.

 It's very immature and frankly, creepy. At any age.
For your own peace of mind, I would not view this as a reflection of your value but of his. In your shoes this behaviour would not have hurt me but turned me off him.
He sounds like a man who is so hungry for sex because he could never get any. A failure with women...know what I mean?

There IS a line between respectful and disrespectful, however. And this is where you’re entitled to draw the line. If you aren’t comfortable with it and he doesn’t understand, then thank goodness the relationship ended. Not everyone goes to that extreme and you can find someone who isn’t so vocal.
Me personally, the level he went to is a total turn off and I wouldn’t put up with that. I wouldn't try to change him, I would just leave.
