Oh boy did the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community let this guy have it. Basically, he had the audacity to crack a mean-spirited joke about his girlfriend's food/drink choices right in front of her, to the very person that she already didn't dislike. To say that she didn't take too kindly to his decision would be an understatement. The dude straight up messed up. Really, all that's left for him to do is to apologize for his lapse in judgement and not go for the repeat performance.

    Font - AITA for joking "I'm dating the wrong friend"? I've been with my gf for about 6 months, and we've started hanging out with our groups of people, introducing each-other to them, being more "official". Last night was my turn to meet my gf's friends; she was actually invited to a friend's birthday get-together and the friend had told her to bring me as well. At the event, another girl, Beth, was there as well. She is a friend of the birthday girl, but not of my gf. In fact, my gf doesn't par

    Font - We were at a restaurant, and me and my gf happened to sit across Beth. My gf doesn't do red meats or red wine, opting for white wine and seafood mostly. I am a huge steak and red wine guy, and when Beth ordered the same thing, I joked "Huh, l'm dating the wrong friend". I could feel the temperature drop on my gf's side, and when we got home, she lashed at me for saying that, and of all people, to Beth. I told her it's not a big deal as it's just a joke, and she said I could have made any

    Rectangle - PossumJenkinsSoles · 18h YTA. It's interesting that you call this "petty girl drama" when I get the distinct feeling if I made this same joke to a guy I was dating that I should be dating his friend he probably wouldn't think it was very funny either... G Reply 4 248 3 +

    Rectangle - Chrestys · 19h Partassipant [1] YTA - WTF, dude? Saying that in front of others to a girl that your GF has friction with was about as hurtful and inconsiderate as you could be and you humiliated her while giving the other girl a one-up on her. Just shockingly stupid. 6 Reply 1 145 3 ...

    Font - 10 Awards YTA. It doesn't matter if it was "just a joke" - and by the way, it really wasn't, since as you made clear, Beth isn't your GF's friend, she's someone who you've been made aware has literally been nasty to your GF behind her back - you went out of your way to not only compliment Beth, but to literally do so on a way that compared your girlfriend unfavourably to her, right in front of a group of all of their mutual friends. You were deliberately disloyal, thoughtless, and indiffe

    Font - Pepper_777 · 19h YTA in so many ways. So from what I understand, you were given the rundown on Beth. You knew your gf didn't care for her and proceeded to pseudo hit on same girl, thinking that would be what? Witty? It sounds humiliating for your gf. Then when she voices her hurt you call it, "petty girl drama" Damn. G Reply 257 3

    Font - Atwuin • 17h Partassipant [1] You have got to be trolling...like you are joking, right? OBVIOUSLY YTA Edit: As if taking her out for dinner is going to patch up the fact that you openly stated you'd rather be dating someone that, for all intents and purposes, would be considered her enemy in front of several people. I sincerely hope she takes the opportunity to leech off of you one last time before dumping you G Reply 79 3 ...

    Rectangle - Citychic88 · 19h Professor Emeritass [94] YTA Even if Beth was someone your gf got on with that kind of joke is not funny and not kind. In my relationship of 10+years if my husband made a joke like that now...sure. funny. But early in the relationship? No way G Reply 1 185 3 ...

    Rectangle - Square_Mark8075 · 19h Partassipant [2] YTA. Dude why just why. It was unnecessary and not even funny to qualify as a good and humorous joke. You knew your gf doesn't like her, why would you say this. I don't know about you dating the wrong friend but she's dating a wrong boyfriend. G Reply 53 3 +

    Font - SadderOlderWiser · 18h Certified Proctologist [25] YTA you sweet summer child. “I'm dating the wrong person" jokes aren't all that funny ever, and definitely not at 6 months. So many eye rolls at you thinking she's being petty - like you have the standing to look down on her, on top of making jokes that she's not right for you. G Reply 1 114 3
