Hello!
AIBU?? Or am I completly in the right to feel so hurt 🙁
I'm 5'10 a dress size 12/14 with a healthy bmi but am currently following slimming world to lose my last 7lbs of baby weight.
Today I was out shopping with DP when I mentioned I was starving, he also said he was hungry and that he was going to nip in Burger King. When we got to the till I asked if he could order me such a thing and he replied "no you're on a diet" at first i thought he was joking but it became apparent he wasn't.
He basically expected me (knowing I was hungry) to sit there and watch him eat. I just find this so bloody cruel and nasty.
He even had the flaming liberty to sit down and offer me a CHIP after telling me I couldn't order anything.
I wouldn't mind if there was a health concern surrounding my weight but I'm a healthy weight!!
I am so upset and am currently sulking upstairs 🙁

I didn't mention it was my daughters appointment cause I dont particularly feel it's anyone else business .

Neither is your weight your DPs business.

Unless you're 50stone and need cutting out of the house. That behaviour from him. In public, is unacceptable.

Your purse/DDs dental appointment/car/diet bears no relevance to his behaviour. The reason you think OPs are giving you a hard time on here is because you appear to be finding excuses to explain away his behaviour. You admitted in your OP that you felt hurt by his comments and sorry but sitting there eating something whilst you sat there is how they used to treat children in the 70s/80s .

The last person to mention my diet did so whilst visiting me in a hospital bed where I was extremely ill, and my diet was the least of my concerns (I'm only a stone overweight!!). I haven't spoken to that person since. I don't need shitty people like that in my life.

You are not a child, there is also one golden rule that I have always lived by with partners and my (now-ex) husband. If he wouldn't talk to his friends in that manner then he shouldn't be talking to his partner in that manner also.
