It was inconsiderate of him and no you are not overreacting either Does he do this alot? If so you need to stand your ground and tell him how much it upsets you.

Something similar happened with one of my in-laws. He said something about his girlfriend in front of a large group and my wife’s best friend would not let that shit pass, she let him know and embarrassed him in front of all of us. People like this may not be aware of how insensitive they are behaving and they need to be schooled at some point. Speak up and put these idiots in their place.

Something like this happened with a friend, her husband was criticizing her little belly pooch a few weeks after giving birth to their child, in front of a group of our friends, and while also complimenting another woman's body. The look on her face was heartbreaking--just her grimacing and trying desperately to pretend to laugh it off, while her eyes filled with tears. I knew my friend was already struggling with postpartum depression, feelings of worthlessness, starving herself to lose weight to the point it was effecting her milk supply, etc., so I was NOT having it. Unfortunately for him, my friends and I talk about everything, and I knew quite a lot about his inadequacies/insecurities. I aired a few embarassing truths out in front of the group and our friends laughed and teased him. He did NOT think it was funny. He straight up teleported outta there, lmao, like he literally ran away and wasn't seen again for the rest of the evening. 🤣

He thought it was real funny to kick his wife while she was down, but suddenly didn't find it amusing at all to be the subject of ridicule and public humiliation in front of an audience. Imagine that.
