❤️ Just because it is not intentional does not imply it does not do harm.

Ann, thankfully he apologized to you because you explained how it made you feel. To dismiss it would be unloving and disrespectful towards you.

Good for you to have this uncomfortable conversation. The comment feels out of sync, especially because you are intimate.

As for anyone who states you are over reacting, this is gaslighting. You are working through something (trauma-based) and shaming you by saying you’re “sensitive” is patriarchal and out of touch. A partner will give you a safe space to hear you out.
