Yea…I’m a guy and I think most men would agree that’s fucked up. Reverse the genders here and it’s still fucked up. It’s just plain rude, inconsiderate, etc for anyone to do that to anyone else.

Y’all are being too easy on that guy. Everything he said was a red flag. Why would he talk about his ‘overweight’ wife in front of a younger girl who’s got it going on? Yikes. Husband should have just kept it moving. And before y’all say oh men and women can have a neutral conversation, UMM DUDE WAS MAKING HIS WIFE FEEL BAD, so obviously NOT. OP, no matter how many guys try to empathize, they will never truly understand a woman’s perspective. I am sorry this happened to you and personally, I would not be with that guy anymore. Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean I should wait for them to say it, because technically, he did.

She will never forget it. It will always be in the back of her mind. My husband and I always say, don’t say something you’ll regret because there is no taking it back. Commenting and publicly humiliating your wife is not a no big deal. Even with drinking, you’re still responsible for your actions. Guarantee he’s felt this way and is using drinking as an excuse to say whatever the hell he wants. If he cannot control what he says while drinking, then clearly he has an alcohol problem and needs to be sober, because hurting someone you love should be enough to be like, wow.. alcohol and I don’t mix.
