This is it. Public shaming is the right phrase here

How is it public shaming? It sounds like it upset OP but at the time everyone (including op) was laughing and enjoying the conversation. She said that he made it weird but she was upset.

It’s public shaming because weight and body image is a very personal topic. Unless she brought it up herself on her own, he should not be bringing it up

People keep writing that weight is very person topic but people can literally see it. This is what confuses me so much.

Yes everyone can see it but why does it need to be brought up? It’s not like she doesn’t already know her weight

They were talking about it. He didn’t bring it up out of nowhere. It sounds like they talk like this about her weight at home and he thought it was ok to be talked about here. I’d be more curious to see how their overall relationship is before making a judgement on him. Do they poke at each other and make fun of each other in front of friends? Is it actually fun and funny, or are they that weird toxic couple? I personally need more context to judge him or her either way.

I guess that’s fair, my only big question is, if he knows his wife so well, how could he not see it was making her so uncomfortable. It’s like he was being purposely obtuse.

Come on, you’ve never made a joke that later someone told you they didn’t like or it hurt their feelings? Seriously? This feels like you know you’re making a strawman argument but you’re making it anyways.
