Told my girlfriend she would NEVER be as pretty as my best friend - Reddit AITAH Reaction

Dude will probably still try to friend zone himself with the Ex too

@@nathanweiss5174 bruh 💀 seems to fit his character 😂🤣

While I'm not denying he's an asshole you and the comments are glazing over an important fact she (the girlfriend) said she purposely does that because she knows it hurts him so he lashed out and made her feel insecure. The relationship was doomed from the start but don't just let her being a little bitch pushing someone's buttons then acting all hurt when he fights back go in noticed. Honestly this seems to be another case of ppl pretending men aren't allowed to get hurt or have feelings.

yea she could take this as a learning experience too, for her next relationships

@@aloneinthecorner-82 oh no, I stated very clearly that she crossed a boundary and that it was wrong, however, when you compare both things, what the dude did was waaaaaay worse. she was teasing with someone who she will never meet, but he made it a personal attack by saying she would never be as pretty as someone he is very close to. one was a punch (wrong) but he responded to that punch by stabbing with a knife (disproportionate and also wrong).

@@LauraGabelo no I got ya and I'm not defending him in any way. what I was saying was she did this quite a bit knowing it was a sore spot so it isn't so unproportionate as you said she purposely hurt him because she thought it was entertaining or funny. so he took a shot at her that would hurt her. honestly he should have left her ass when she wouldn't respect the fact that what she was doing was hurting him. you seem to be taking this as a single event but she has made it a pattern of hurting him. yes he made it personal to where it hit home for her. joking about a celebrity would not have hurt her and shut her down like that. you have to take in to contextt how long she has been doing this and how someone feels about a situation. yes him hurting her in return was wrong but her doing what she did repeatedly because she liked the responces from him was just as wrong. I've been in his shoes my ex wife did this to me because she knew it hurt and she thought it was funny. whatI think was missed was how much this hurt him. in order for him to say something back. and as for the friend thing I really don't know but maybe she just wasn't his type emotionally. yeah it is weird that he seemed to go out of his way to mention that his parents liked her. to sum things up yes I do think he is an asshole and she is a bitch that should not under any circumstances be together. I just don't think what she did should be glazed over and yes you mentioned it but you harped on the idea that he mentioned someone close to him.

@@aloneinthecorner-82 there is a lot of nuance in the situation because we lack plenty of information. you’re filling in the blanks with your own experience, which is valid, but is also not right when trying to evaluate someone else’s situation from an objective point of view. we dont know how many times she did it, and we dont know how well he set his boundary and how properly he communicated the way it made him feel. from the information that we do have, she did cross a boundary, but his reaction does seem disproportionate.

[@LauraGabelo]

we also dont know her intent behind the comments. it could’ve been malicious, but it also could’ve been playful (doesn’t make her crossing a boundary better, but intentions do matter). from his own words, we know he was aware that what he did was not playful and would, in fact, hurt her.
