Yeah I feel like it is really disrespectful and immature. After I broke up with him, he was even saying his whole family think I'm crazy for dumping him over that because it's normal for guys to do that in a relationship. I actually got a text from his brother saying I'm a loser for dumping him over something all guys do and he said "good luck finding any man who won't call other women hot"
Now his entire family hate me. I don't understand any of this, this was the worst way to break up.. I have an entire family that are thinking I'm overreacting and calling me crazy.🙁
Try to always remember that such judgements of you have no objective reality, and they only have power over you if you allow them to. There are plenty of facts in the world and some things are undeniably true or false, but opinions are just a bunch of neurons firing in a pattern in someone's head and they only form a particular pattern because of all the random shit that's happened in the person's life up to that point.
In this case, the most significant random shit appears to have been that your ex was born into a family of idiots. Being hated by idiots is actually a badge you should wear proudly.
The fact that the whole family seems to have gone ballistic over your decision suggests a couple of things. First, it may be that they realise on some level that their attitude to such matters is abnormal and just generally messed up, and they deal with that by calling anyone who disagrees with them crazy. Also, the fact that they reacted as they did pretty clearly suggests that they thought you were something special. If you weren't, why should they care if you dumped the dweeb?
Ignore the texts, learn what you can from the experience and move forward.
I don't think so..he really hurt me when he told me to suck it up. We were picking up food at a restaurant recently and after he left he said the woman who gave him the food was really hot, that hurts me and he just said I need to grow up. He never calls me hot.. he calls me cute.
Good for you. I agree with almost all of what Boojum says; with a slightly different.
We are all sexual human beings and it is normal for use to react to an awesome physical specimen that shows up in our lives. However, as you mature you realize that those are not the most common.
With that being said... Every now and then my wife will see my eyes linger and she will even verbally acknowledge that the lady is "hot" or "looks good." Likewise, every now and then her eyes will linger and I'll say he's in great shape. We both smile at these moments. It does not mean we don't love each other or care. We are human and understand that we both will notice and react to the right person.
We have found that its a lot easier on both of us to be honest with all kinds of things - and neither of us are offended by that.
The other reality is that beyond physical appearance - both of us focus on how they think and their values before considering anyone as a friend.
My advice: Find someone who only notices the exceptional, and allow him some flexibility on that when it occurs. Ask for the same in return.
Is it normal for your boyfriend to call other women hot all the time?

It’s not the most respectful thing for him to say.
But that certainly IS a crazy thing to dump somebody over lol 😂 haha

If somebody said they dumped someone for that I don’t know a single human who wouldn’t reply with “really? Is that all?”
It’s a little bit of an overreaction to say the least. Heaven help any relationship you have with real arguments 😂
