so my cousin male who im very good friends with is on holidays with his partner. so i got a message of him late last night they were drinking.. i opened it and it was a screenshot from my facebook from say 10 12 years ago of a pic of me.. and a msg saying omg his gf cant get over my transformation( meaning for the worse) and how i looked like a model then(meaning i dont now) i replied im sure you both looked better 10 years ago people done need reminding tho.. the reply was oh she wasnt being mean she ment ur hair suited you so much back then.. i did have a different hair style but im also a decade older and maybe a stone or so heavier.. AIBU to be offended..surely its never ok to comment on someones appearance in a negative way..i know people talk but to actually go years back in pics to send me a pic of when i clearly did look better is mean..why they are even looking on my facebook when on holidays in bizzare to me must be a boring night out

YANBU. What he did was insensitive and unnecessary. Surely he didn't think it would go down well? I'd be so upset and annoyed if I was you.

Gf looking at pictures on cousin's phone. Spots woman who looks like a model, which triggers jealousy/irritation.
Cousin explains its you. Gf punishes you for once looking like a model, with spiteful comparison.
Cousin either too stupid to not mention it to you, or too weak to refuse to.
