My ex husband would also make remarks about how our sex life was terrible — he has absolutely no boundaries. I hated it and I know our friends hated it. I wish our friends would have said “knock it off.”
My best friend in the entire world has a dud of a husband. They make similar incomes both working full time, but she does 99% of the mental load, child care, logistics, errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. We were on a big friend trip with 5 families last summer. My best friend was super pregnant and their toddler wasn't going to sleep, she kept SCREAMING over the monitor. My friend was so stressed out on the verge of tears and the husband was sitting at the bar drinking and laughing. She thought the toddler was finally out and then another cry came and her DH nonchalantly said "Larla, Toddler is crying again". I have no idea what got into me because I'm extremely easy going and non confrontational, but I turned around in front of everyone and said HOLY SH*T THEN GO DEAL WITH IT! DO YOU NOT SEE LARLA PREGNANT, SWOLLEN, AND EXHAUSTED TO THE POINT OF TEARS?! He went in to deal with the kid and never came back out. My friend thanked me and said that was his first time helping with a wake up and the toddler was almost 2yo. They have't bickered and he's been a hands on dad in front of us since.
