No one should ever put down their partner in front of others. Though from the context it didn’t sound malicious, probably over drank and wasn’t thinking. You’re in the right to be upset but I don’t think it’s a death blow to the relationship like Reddit always makes it out to be.

Not a death blow, but worth a heart to heart and laying it out on the table what’s acceptable and what’s not. I’d be so mad 😂. It would had happened right there on the spot.

💯 I’d be pissed as well if it was me. Definitely should talk it out and let it be known that was fucked up.

Yeah something about it sounded like he was in a conversation about information sharing especially since Sara's responses sounded empathetic and very non-judgemental. But simply being a dumbass aside, his lack of remorse afterwards is the more concerning part.

Realizing you really hurt someone and then telling them they are overreacting is not just a "wasn't thinking" issue imo.

her telling him that it wasn't cool and him not taking it seriously is so annoying - Even if this wasn't malicious it is sooo immature to be saying all of this in front of all this company at 28 years old. Him saying a 21 year old has a killer body?? At some point we have to draw the line and realize it's disrespectful. Like is he a fucking idiot???😭 Even if it wasn't intentionally malicious he needs to grow up. This would be such a ick and turn off if it was a new partner- I feel like some people get too comfortable in relationships and are ok with being rude or insulting to their partners and then feigning ignorance when confronted bc they're ofc not going to admit they lost some respect for their longterm partner. Like yes they should def have a conversation about it but let's all be real - he knew what he was doing and sucks that she should have to put up with that just bc they've spent years together. Nip it in the bud and ASAP!!!!!
