Settle an argument beween me and DP…

Came home around 2.30 and said I was starving as I hadn’t eaten all day. DP comes out with “well it doesn’t look like it”, and I’m immediately offended.

For context, I HAVE put on around 1.5 stone since is meeting 6 years ago have having DD, but am still at max a size 12, mostly clothes a size 10. He isn’t happy with this (neither am I to be fair), but I get constant comments about it. When I challenged him on it, apparently I can’t get upset because it’s true.

AIBU?

Why would you listen to someone who 'isn't happy with' your weight that's so mean.. as if its his business

What a cunt.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 01/04/2023 14:52

What a prick.

AlrightJulia · 01/04/2023 14:52

It is shitty and he's an arse. Is he the same as he was 6 years ago?!

Heroicallyfound · 01/04/2023 14:52

Of course you can get upset. Not only is he insulting you, he’s telling you you’re not allowed to have feelings. Emotionally abusive behaviour. Find someone else who values you! He clearly doesn’t.

LadyMargaretDevereux · 01/04/2023 14:53

So nasty.

Glittertwins · 01/04/2023 14:53

Bet he's no oil painting either. People that come out with this sort of thing rarely are.

Nimbostratus100 · 01/04/2023 14:53

He is nasty

Botw1 · 01/04/2023 14:53

Start commenting on the size of his dick.

Say its such a shame its not big enough to satisfy you. Say you wish it was bigger.

If he says anything back say he can't get upset because it's true

Or better yet just dump him.

He's a prick.

PogoThePunk · 01/04/2023 14:54

Well if he's not happy with it, he knows where the door is.

CleaningOutMyCloset · 01/04/2023 14:54

HE isn't happy, woah you've had a baby and it's in 6 years ffs! I presume he looks like Thor from the avengers (and not the last season either) what a horrid horrid man

Embelline · 01/04/2023 14:55

"He isn't happy with this." How much does he weigh OP? Do you make comments about this to him?

ChangedmynameagainforChristmas · 01/04/2023 14:57

Yes of course it is a shitty thing to say but why don't you just shut him down. Tell him to fuck off. I'll bet he is not perfect

MsVestibule · 01/04/2023 14:57

It's such a stupid thing to say, regardless of whether it's offensive (it is, BTW!). So 'fat' people can't ever be hungry? Only slim people can?

WhoToldYou · 01/04/2023 14:59

You need to ask? Of course it is. The question is why you put up with it.

FunnyMunny · 01/04/2023 14:59

I think you might need a new patio.

DrinkFeckArseBrick · 01/04/2023 15:01

He isnt happy with you being a (presumably, unless you are below average height) healthy weight and a dress size below average? What's it got to do with him, considering you're not actually overweight and it's not affecting your health or what most people would consider attractive?

I'd be telling him it's none of his fucking business and you'll be making shitty comments that he should 'do something about it' when his body goes through normal life changes eg he goes grey or loses his hair, you'll start making nasty comments

And since when did making nasty comments about someone, motivate them to make a positive change?

And lastly, just because something is true, doesn't mean It has to be said. Otherwise people would be going round saying things like 'wow that spot is huge' and 'god you're looking tired these days' etc. Do you point out every negative thing about him just because 'its true'? Maybe you should start

rwalker · 01/04/2023 15:06

Yes shitty thing to say
but tbh I might be insensitive but a grown adult complaining they’ve had nothing to eat would get a sigh and an eye roll from me unless you were disabled get something to eat

HobbyIsCodeForDogging · 01/04/2023 15:06

Came here to say what a cunt and someone’s beaten me to it.

Tilllly · 01/04/2023 15:07

Wow

Even if you were a size 22 or 32, it's a nasty thing to say

Ok123 · 01/04/2023 15:09

TBF, I wouldn’t say I was complaining. I’d been out all morning with DD and missed breakfast as we were rushing. It was more, “I need to get some food, I’m starving!”.

Mirabai · 01/04/2023 15:09

And he is..?

Thepeopleversuswork · 01/04/2023 15:09

He’s a dick. He’s needlessly trying to hurt you. And it’s an utterly stupid comment anyway. You can’t see from someone’s size what they have been eating that day.

Does he have any redeeming qualities?
