Agree with all of that. Most women I know, in real life and on here, would have pulled him up at the time. I'm sure all the women on here have had to deal with this kind of stuff at least once in their life, probably more. You have to let them know that sh1t isn't going to fly with you. As for him apologising, once it's said, no amount of apology is going to help you take it back. You just can't unring a bell.
