AIBU?

To think this is a backhanded insult and totally uncalled for?

I've been doing some work recently with an old friend of mine from school, we'll call her Gemma as this is her name and I don't care to give her a false one. Anyway so I invited Gemma out for a few drinks the other day as she's never met my boyfriend and we haven't really had a good chance to get together since school, we went to a local cocktail bar where I live and the night was lovely apart from one little moment which has been playing on my mind since.

I went to the loo, she came with and whilst in there she made a comment about my boyfriend to the effect of "oh he's gorgeous, you've done well for yourself." Now am I being unreasonable to think that this is very rude and suggests that I am inferior to him as she's oh so shocked that I've managed to find somebody so attractive? Maybe this seems petty and I am just blowing this out of proportion but she could have made a comment on his appearance without having to say "you've done well for herself". Now debating whether or not this is somebody I want to be friends with.

I think it was meant as a compliment whilst also aknowledging he is yours! A bit clumsy maybe but not intended in the way you've taken it. Let it go!!

I think you're all being so mean. I completely agree with OP, it was a horrid thing to say.

SueTheGorilla wanted me to let you all know that she has met Gemma herself and agrees with Pippa. Gemma can be unkind sometimes and always makes slightly off comments about bananas when Sue meets her.

I vaguely remember last nights one about all her friends being jealous of her events business or something, but forgot to join in for the deletion message.

What was the outcome?

Deleted for deliberately inflammatory behaviour.
