Was I too harsh on my boyfriend's friends?

[Anonymous]

I still can't believe how comfortable people feel making comments about my boyfriend just because he's overweight. The other day we were hanging out with a group of friends and one of them looked at my boyfriend and laughed saying bro you two look really different standing next to each other. My boyfriend didn't say anything. I asked him what he meant and he said don't get me wrong I'm just surprised it's weird seeing such a pretty girl with someone like you. My boyfriend stayed quiet again. So I looked at everyone at the table and said if you can look at my boyfriend's weight and decide if he's good enough to be with me then I can look at your personalities and question why I'm even friends with you. Everyone went completely silent. Then my boyfriend said forget it I'm used to it. And honestly that made me even angrier.

You were not too harsh at all. That “friend” insulted your boyfriend and low-key insulted you too, like you’re “too pretty” for him. That’s not a joke, that’s a red flag. You set a boundary, confidently. That silence? That’s guilt.

Your boyfriend being “used to it” just shows how often he’s been hurt. He deserves someone like you defending him, but he also needs to start defending himself. You didn’t overreact, you showed everyone what real love looks like 💋

Sorry, but your boyfriend’s friends are right. If you’re attractive and she’s overweight, she needs to get herself together. You two look really weird standing next to each other. And honestly, I don’t understand how you can date someone who’s overweight. How can you even stomach i

Apparently they are not his friends, but his acquaintances at best. 🤷‍♂️

Not too harsh but your boyfriend needs to lift weights or do something to help with his self esteem immediately.

You handled it exactly the way you should. You are a good girlfriend.
