Butttt, if someone went "you were sooo close, honey, lmao" then yeah, could be not so good since the tone would be petty. Honestly I don't know whether the girl is being mean or not but from the guy's description, he said she is kinda perfectionist and keeps correcting him. She might have meant well and the correction weren't meant to offend him. Or she could have been a control freak, dunno. But, what we do know is that the guy was fed up with the correcting and then when she was crying, that's when he had his revenge. If something slips up and someone asks "wdym", you can still save yourself and explain that you are not being petty if it wasn't your intention. But the guy doubled-down on what he said. And the way he contrasts himself as being the go-getter and educated one while she is not also paints him in a positive light and her in a negative one. Sounds like he didn't draw the boundary properly, make the girl not to say "sooo close" and then he got more upset over time, letting the resentment build until he saw an occasion to get back at her.

[@Sytrylt]

I agree ! And also, I don't know if it's because I'm french, and english is not my native langage. But... I don't see how 'so close' would be a compliment. I Mean... If someone tells me : "you were so close, next time do it this way..." EVEN if the person tries to help and doesn't mean it as an insult, it's NOT a compliment. You're criticizing their work even if it's constructive criticism, it's still not a compliment. So she was at least criticizing him over and over again, even when he told her it was hurtful. All she had to do, was change the wording...

[@lesapolyana]

right?? also if you care about your partner then you wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, no? if they tell you that something you say is hurtful, wouldn't you want to consider their point of view? do people just forget how to be empathetic to their loved ones??? something tells me there wasn't much empathy there to begin with. smh

[@toocutenoirb.4278]

Context clues matter. She knows that he finds the phrase that she thinks as a complement is an insult. She knows that he finds it to be an insult. Because he told her. If he has said this to her when she was like sweeping up or making breakfast and she responded with being upset with him I can see you being correct. Because he would just be matching her energy. However he has never said the phrase to her because he thinks it’s a insult. So I want you to logically think in your head if you know your partner find a certain phrase to be an insult and they never say it you might say it but you they never say it. Then in a moment when you’re very upset and need consoling they say that exact phrase ….that you know they find it to be an insult ….to you. Are you really trying to say that she can’t be upset? ……., That’s basically him saying F you and try to hurt her feelings to prove a point lol Yes she’s probably stop saying the phrase of it hurts his feelings but he also doesn’t get the pass to say that phrase to her with malicious intent. Lol that’s toxic

[@Sytrylt]

Tell me how was he supposed to make her stop, if telling her numerous times that it hurts him when she says that doesn't stop her ?

“You were so close” no I agree with the husband. I know how it feels to have your self esteem corroded little by little every day, trying your hardest getting criticized even for the smallest tasks.

Being told “you were so close” every single day about everything you do without ever getting true praise is soulbreaking. If she can’t hear it even once without melting down, it shows that her true intentions with that phrase have always been negative.

People you love do shit that annoys you, but he had the option to back off apologise and say it just came to mind, focus on the love and comfort the person, then discuss the matter later.

[@BeaSDT]

He admitted he finds it condescending. Not her. He said, to her and to the internet, that "so close" is condescending to him. How do you walk that back? It's not that she thinks the sentence is rude, it's that he was trying to hurt her. It could have been the most blatantly complimentary phrase in the world. If you're husband tells you "I hate it when you say I'm the most beautiful, kind-hearted person on the planet, it's so disrespectful" and when you are upset, turns to you and says "You are the most beautiful, kind-hearted person on the planet" you know he is disrespecting you. It doesn't matter if you find that sentence a compliment or an insult - he *told you* it's disrespectful to him and he's saying to you. His intentions are clear.

[@mikayleedenay2534]

exactly this. she knew he found it rude, so therefore any continuation diminishes the ability to use it in a non-condescending way. kind of like, “sorry means you wont do it again.” if the intention is to compliment, and its not working, then maybe change the wording. as for him, i could see it being a subconscious dig but i seriously don’t blame him. sometimes the best way to get through to people is by giving them a taste of their own medicine. i mean he already expressed disdain, was he supposed to deal with it all his life ?? hell nah

Probably because he told her that when she said "so close", it was condescending TO HIM and he did not like when she did it.

Yeah the story hinges on whether the GF is actually uncomfortable (but I don't think she would have told her BF she's uncomfortable if the red beard guy is actually following her the whole time, she wouldn't have the opportunity). If the guy is actually making her uncomfortable, I sympathise with the BF. If he doesn't intervene, his GF might get mad he didn't doing anything. If intervenes in a benign way (which it seems like he did at first) and it ends in confrontation, his GF gets mad anyway.

My favourite was said by a creepy old man, “she probably wears her top like that so she can make better tips”. Anyway needless to say I ended up quitting that job and never looking back.

When someone just isn't listening to your communication about boundaries (referring to the gf with the food and also the husband being "so close"), the best thing to do is to calmly ask them questions on *why* they keep doing it. Make them think through their behavior. From that point you can express how their continued behavior makes you feel. If they just flat out don't care after all this, big red flag.

[@lucasbieber9051]

With the "You were so close" scenario, I was gonna say the guy was the a**hole for being petty but the girl is the biggest a**hole in the end.

@UCALs3FU90PMzpBuh1ixqT4Q I think the occasion where he used the phrase was most fitting. The significance of the examples doesn’t matter because it’s true that she was really close to getting the job. Also, OP’s wife was the one who claimed that the phrase was a compliment, not OP. He asked her on several occasions to stop because it made him feel bad, and she should’ve stopped when he asked the first couple of times, so he’s not exactly overreacting. If the wife took offense, then she clearly knows what she was doing. I wouldn’t even consider what he said a jab because he mentioned that he said it unintentionally.

He was only released this year because his twin finally confessed in a letter sent to his jail cell. So messed up cause the twin stood beside Kevin the entire time and promised it wasn't him.

[@weronikalinda4917]

The "you were so close" one is difficult because when she does it, it's about minor things, except imagine hearing that every day when you do those things. It sounds to me like she's trying to micromanage him and he clearly hates it, which is valid. That being said, if your partner has just experienced a big letdown, is crying next to you, clearly hurt and vulnerable, and you use this moment as payback... that's just vicious. Even if it really was the first thing to pop in his head, he kept going so at that point it wasn't just his subconscious, he meant to make her feel worse. I understand that sometimes you can have pent-up issues with your partner but kicking them while their down isn't an appropriate or effective way to solve them.

[@dustrose8101]

I mean, he already expressed to her that he didn't like it and she kept doing it. So SHE is already aware of his feelings, and thus no longer has the excuse of ignorance. Also as other people have pointed out, if she didn't mean it to belittle him why does she react like that when he says it...

[@weronikalinda4917]

@@dustrose8101 But I didn't say she was unaware of his feelings, I said that a moment like that, when she had just found out that her dream job rejected her, was an inappropriate time to bring this "you were so close" thing up (and the way he "brought it up", by saying it out of spite, was inappropriate regardless). He saw an opportunity to make her suffer more and took it. I think it's a low blow and not how you handle boundaries in a relationship you care about. Also as other people have pointed out, the tone you use while saying something adds a lot of meaning. You can say "oh, honey, I know, you were so close!" in a supportive way (and noone would ask "what do you mean?") but you can also say it sarcastically, in a mean way.

[@urugozo]

I agree with you. The fact that he couldn't console her when she was in her lowest without these kind of thoughts popping suggests to me that the constant "you are so close" from her side damaged the relationship more than they both realized. This requires both to take account of what has being on and how those little remarks are not so little if repeated over time. The fact that she can instantly recognize that saying "you were sooo close" is not the right answer can help her see that behavior for what it is and stop doing it at once. On the other hand, as you said, he should also recognize that this was not the moment to make that point. The fact that he wants to make it sound as if though it was an accident that this was "blurted out", is telling me that he doesn't want to confront the fact that he went for a "taste your medicine" type of revenge moment.
