My boyfriend and I have been dating almost two years, he tells me that he loves me very much and we been talking about moving in together. About three months ago he tells me that he wishes he wants to be with a perfect woman, meaning the outside appearance, but he said there is no such thing and he has to remember that, I thought about it but I let it slide. Lets face it i am not perfect, I have some flaws but that kind of hurt me a little. Anyways, now he moved out of his parents house he lives 30 mintues away from me and tells me he goes to the gym after work. We talk on the phone almost every night literally now he doesn't have time for me anymore and when we do talk he is always tired. Then one night he told me that he was watching naked girls on TV. He asked me if it bothered me, deep down it really did but I told him no. He told me he doesn't care if I look at men. I mean I understand he is a guy and guys will look at other women but why does he keep mentioning other girls to me like if I was his friend. I respect him enough to never talk about other men or my ex's and oh did I mention he brings up all his ex's since he was ten. Am i being to sensitive about him talking about other women and how attractive, "hot," and perfect they are? Or is he being disrespectful? I don't know i'm not an expert when it comes to relationships. I need help, I feel like I am being disrespected because of some other things he does but I don't know if i'm overreacting. Is it normal?? Can someone please give me some advice.

He's some advice: Break up with him. He doesn't have time for you. Sounds like a bit of a dick.

Pretty simple.

Because he's too immature and clueless. You can find a better guy. 2 years? Wow. So sorry. But why has this come up only after 2 years? And yes, he's being disrespectful. I wouldn't move in with this guy, if I were you. He's either clueless about how to treat women, or he's dropping hints that he's not that into you.

You are being disrespected. He is pulling a douche move. (and this is coming from a troll) Don't necessarily break up with him; but express how you feel. Actually, let him read this thread. (all the advice and your original post) And see how bad he's disrespecting you. If that doesn't open up his eyes, nothing probably will, and you may have to break up with him at that point. Wow, I cannot believe that some people can say mean things to their S/O. It's really uncalled for.

I think you should have say YES and let him know how you feel. Just tell him what bothers you. It is important you express how you feel. Who ever asks if something bothers you be honest. say exactly what it is. From that way you both learn about each other.

He sounds like a douchecanoe. I'm pretty understanding about things like porn and I am not so naive as to think my partner doesn't have eyes in his head or notice other women. But to talk about it like your SO does? Oh, hell, no. He's basically reminding you that you are not up to his standards. In your shoes, I would kick him to the curb. People like that only get more douchey as time goes on. There's no sense in subjecting yourself to that.

Read the words you wrote and ask yourself if you really want to continue to live like this voluntarily then make your decision from there.

No one can tell you what is right for you in your life or your relationship. You are the only one who knows what is right. So make the mature decision that is right for you and carry on from that point.

IDK.. he sounds a little disrespectful to me.. not unless you openly invite him to rate girls. Sometimes GFs do that with their BFs while they people watch.

But, this dude is saying "I need to settle for less than perfect" then goes "I'm watching naked chicks on TV. You MAD??"

He sounds like a bozo. I don't know if you want to end up in a serious relationship with someone who makes knucklehead remarks like that. Sounds so.. neanderthal. Not a very high IQ remark to say to your GF you care and respect.

He's either really young and clueless or mean.

You pick.

Start casually mentioning how your perfect man would be packing a baby arm in the man meat department.

Goose and gander and all of that.
