I was talking to my bf about a movie and some criticisms I had. I was trying to give only the relevant points bc I didn’t want to explain the whole movie scene for scene. He then proceeded to try and explain the movie to me. He’s never seen it. Im annoyed

I’m annoyed bc he’s never seen the movie. I have seen the movie. He felt the need to explain a movie to me that he has never seen and that I HAVE seen. He was way off base too.

definitely talk to him abt how it annoyed you and was mansplaining, i had a similar thing with my bf (he was drunk at the time) and after i clarified that he didnt know what he was talking about and how it made me feel he apologized a lot and was rlly understanding about how he’d acted and told me he wanted to talk about it because “im always bringing up good rhetoric about stuff and he never feels like he has anything to share” so he just mansplained because he thought itd be helpful in someway

that was also the only time he’d rlly done smthn like that and hasnt since so another point is if he is continuing this behavior or has done it a lot in the past thats a different matter completely
