What has been said wrong?

[Moshiii]

Asking for friend!

'I said to my partner look I made your hourly wage while trading' and he then got very rude saying he takes offence to it and his family would put me straight if I said it to them and I apparently need to think before I speak' surely you would think they would have a sense of humour not get angry at you.

What was said wrong? Is it jealousy?

No doesn’t sound like jealousy, it was a goady thing to say and the partner was irritated by it.

Although bringing the family into it is very weird.

It sounds like your friend was having a dig at their partner. Can you explain what is supposed to be humorous?

i don't understand what it means or what it is meant to imply.
but it sounds sarcastic and not respectful so i can understand a person being offended by it, esp by a partner.
why wouls a person want a partner who enjoyed offending them, then brushed it off as a joke. that's a bit like gaslighting.

What was supposed to be humorous about it?

My partners daily rate is 1/4 of mine. I would never make a 'joke' like that. He works hard for what he earns.

I would feel that making a joke about how quickly and easily I can earn his daily rate would be pretty shitty of me. When I was the lower earner, if he had done it to me I would have been pissed off.

Not sure what his family has to do with it though x

Far too EastEnders for me but you friend sounds a little spiteful

How is that funny? It sounds like someone wanting to lord it over another person, or to make them feel small, or likely both.

Find it odd that neither you or your friend can see what’s wrong with it

But cunty, I earn more than my husband who is a high earner in his own right, I can’t imagine looking at him at noon and saying hey I’ve already earned what you’d earn all day. Not very pleasant, goady, belittling and bigging themselves up at the others expense.

His comment in his family though was just plain weird.

What they said is not nice at all.

I'm not sure what you mean, if like others have said, it means they earned in an hour what the partner earned in a day then yes, I think I'd have a sense of humour failure too, it is belittling, and nasty. I'm not sure however if that's what you mean as you say they made their hourly rate while trading, so it could be flipped the other way to read that for once they managed to meet their hourly rate....

Sometimes it's more how you say it than what you say.
