One Reddit user recently shared the story of how she decided to put an end to her relationship after her boyfriend made some inappropriate remarks about her daughter.
The Original Poster shared that she initially had high hopes for her new relationship, and she genuinely believed that her daughter and her new boyfriend would get along. However, it all changed when he made some remarks about her daughter.
After she decided to dump him, however, her friends and family told her that she did wrong, so she decided to take it to Reddit’s Am I The A-hole subreddit and asked whether what she did was wrong.
Read her story below:
“So, I (30 Female) have been dating “Josh” (35 Male) for almost a year. My daughter’s (“Carly, 13 F”) father left when she was a few months, so she’s never really had a father figure.
I introduced Josh to her about a month into our relationship, and Carly really liked him. I thought they got along great, and I was happy that Carly could have a male figure to look up to. About a week go, this all came to a halt.
Carly had eaten about half a bag of chips, not unusual for a teenager, since they have larger appetites. This really upset Josh for some reason, and he made a totally unacceptable comment about my daughter.
“If you really loved Carly, you wouldn’t let her eat so much”.” ‘What if she gets fat?’ I was repulsed, and I could not hold my anger back. I told Josh to get the f*ck out of my house, that he was unwelcome, and to never talk about my daughter like that. She has been hurt enough by the men in her life, and she does not deserve this.
Josh was defensive immediately, and said he was only joking around. I told him that it wasn’t funny, and I was serious about him leaving. And he did leave, but the next day I woke up to my phone blowing up.
Josh was messaging me, along with his friends, calling me a bad mother, and saying disgusting things about my daughter and I. I told my sister yesterday what had happened, and she told me that I overreacted.
Reddit voted that she wasn’t in the wrong here for ending her relationship with Josh. If anything, they agree that Josh’s remark was a red flag, and he and his friends harassing her after she kicked him out made things even worse.
