[quote=Anonymous]OP, the most important thing in this is that your instincts are giving you warning bells.  Many times we find we are in years of a bad relationship, wasting a lot of time, because we shrugged early things off and didn’t trust our instincts.  Then we acknowledge later that we should have listened.

As said above, the issue isn’t the comedy routine or laughing at extreme comments.  The issue is that he has stated, out in the open, that he agrees with it all.  All comedy is made up of kernels of truth, but completely agreeing with extreme comments is different.  To your point, if you were to tell a man that the only thing they’re good for is paying the bills, and you hate having to be in a room with them the rest of the time, and any aging on them disgusts you…odds are he would have an issue being in a relationship with you if that’s how you really felt.

I agree with others that you should find an opportunity soon to suss out more about what he meant when he said he agreed with everything the comedian said.  He may not have meant that comment the way you are interpreting it.  If he clarifies that yes, he meant what he said at face value, that he truly believes all the extreme sentiment, or he blows off your question and says you are being too sensitive/can’t take a joke, then your instincts are right.  You should move on. [/quote]
