So basically I just got back with my ex and I guess for me it's still a bit of recovery phase (rebuilding trust etc.) I was playing online games with by boyfriend , a not so close mutual friend and the friend's friend. When I got on the mutual friend started teasing me by saying "Can you hurry up you bimbo?/Can you stop being a bimbo... etc" Then his other friends also joined in (just repeating what he said). Immature for guys in their 20s I think even though I think they didn't really mean it (I hope). Nevertheless, my ex - now back again boyfriend also called me a bimbo. After putting some thought into it, I feel pretty unset and angry at them for calling me such. For me, I would've thought that a reasonable boyfriend will defend me or at least not join in calling me your current girlfriend a bimbo even though it it was in a teasing tone. Plus the fact that, whilst we were broken up, I heard from a mutual friend that he actually called/labelled me dumb - which he also rmbs saying but said it was a long time ago and that it was fairly close to the time when we just broke up... etc. Now I'm thinking, does he really think I'm below him/dumb/bimbo/someone that he doesn't respect or am I over-reacting? What does everyone think?
Should I be offended that my boyfriend called me a bimbo whilst with a group of friends?
