I'm engaged, and my fiancé is wonderful. However, the whole family seems to turn a blind eye to the antic's of my bf's grandfather. He can't go ten seconds without making a disgusting joke about anything from pedophilia to incest or a sexual comment about me.
For his bday, my bf was given a book on art. The cover of the book was a painting of a naked couple in some sexual act. The first thing out of grandpa's mouth was "Hey, that's Zoe (me) and Terry! (my fiancé)".
He will point at my shirt and say "Did you spill something on your shirt? You better take it off!"
Once, me and some other family members were in grandpa's bedroom looking at a quilt, and when my bf walked in, grandpa said "Look Terry, I already got her in my bedroom! I didn't even have to ask!"
I'm not prude, but I've had enough. These comments gross me out and make me uncomfortable. I am not prepared to confront grandpa directly.
Am I out of line in saying that I will not attend any events at which he is present?
