Do you think the girlfriend’s reaction was justified after months of enduring rude comments, or did she cross the line? How would you handle such tense family dynamics if you were in her position? Share your thoughts below!
Yes, you were the AH.
Your mistake was to continue to go to dinner at the bfs house. You should have calmly told your bf that if his mother continued to refer to your weight, you would no longer be going. Then, it was his job to have a talk with his mother.
Furthermore, if you are too fat. Go on a diet.
