Entitled Bf
My boyfriend, our daughter and I were sitting here talking and he looked at my foot which was near him and said he wanted to tickle me but he picks and chooses his battles so i told him not to do that cause i hate being tickled and it literally makes me mad , well he said “you don’t tell me what to do” and did it anyways.. he said “you could’ve asked me not to touch you but you don’t tell me what to do”. Like ew..what? I told him if I don’t want someone to touch me I am not going to ask them to not touch but instead I am going to tell them. He kept saying I was the problem and that I don’t tell him what to do and I could’ve asked. I told him that was very childish. He didn’t understand where I was coming from so I brought our daughter into it for perspective. I told him if a boy tries to touch our daughter and our daughter tells him not to touch her that’s exactly what she means, she doesn’t have to ASK anyone not to touch her but I’m teaching her that if she doesn’t want to be touched simply and politely just say don’t touch me. He still didn’t understand and says I am the issue and that I don’t tell our daughter what to do so don’t tell him what to do. He is only saying that I don’t tell her what to do because previously I told him that if she doesn’t want to hug anyone she doesn’t have to and he said “she’s going to hug my mom” and I told him if she says no and doesn’t want to, then she simply will not. But I just think that his way of thinking was just super disgusting and childish.. Like dude you are a 23 year old father of a little girl in a world of entitled dudes already.. If someone says do not touch them, simply do not touch them, it isn’t about telling someone what to do but it’s a boundary and respect thing.
