Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the flavor, but too much can spoil the pleasure altogether. The wife in this story is so beyond salty that the flavor is gone. The OP in this story is humiliated by the words his wife used against their mutual friend. The wife is clearly dealing with her own insecurities and taking it out unfairly on the poor friend. Her husband doesn't help the situation by reminding her that their mutual friend is conventionally more attractive than her. Apparently, this attarctive friend looks a lot like Zendaya. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community are dueling in the comments on this one.

    Font - My wife (35F) and I (36M) are good friends with another couple my best friend Matt (36M) and his fiance Rachel (24F). Rachel models and is very attractive. My wife is less conventionally attractive but I fell in love with her for her humour and good spirit which I

    Font - personally find more attractive than good looks. Recently I've noticed my wife making a lot of comments about Rachel calling her an airhead and just being kind of mean. When my wife makes these comments in private Im able to stand up for Rachel but when they're

    Organism - made in public I obviously don't want to embarrass my wife by calling her out. My wife and I went on a trip away with Matt and Rachel last week which we had been planning for a while and really looking forward to. At dinner one night my wife made a really mean

    Font - comment after we started talking about the economy. She remarked don't worry Rachel you can join in the conversation once the smart people are done. She was the only one who laughed. I was completely embarrassed and once we were alone I told my wife she had been really rude and I was ashamed of her. I told her she needs to stop making nasty

    Organism - comments and she agreed. However the next night we all went out to a bar. Rachel was getting a lot of attention from guys there who were sending over drinks. My wife was looking visibly annoyed that she wasn't receiving the same attention so I tried to lift her spirits by

    Font - paying for all her drinks and making a fuss of her. One guy came over and said that Rachel looked just like the model zendaya. My wife let out a massive laugh and said did you mean to say Whoopi Goldberg. I turned to my wife and straight up said you really are so jealous aren't you. She looked hurt but didn't have time to respond as Rachel had left the table in tears. I

    Font - followed Matt and told Rachel directly that I was so sorry for my wife's words and that I was ashamed of her behaviour. When I reunited with my wife she told me I was horrible for calling her jealous infront of everyone and embarrassing her. I told her straight up that she was jealous of Rachel as Rachel is more attractive than her. I realise in

    Human body - hindsight this was a very heavy thing to say and can see why she would be hurt by it. However I stand by the fact it was said in anger. AITA?

    Font - Edit: I forgot to mention that since the trip Matt has messaged me to let me know my wife is no longer welcome at their wedding and that as a couple himself and Rachel have decided they aren't interested in our friendship anymore if my wife is around. Rachel feels as if my wife has bullied her and has even suggested that some of the comments were racially motivated. I am so humiliated.

    Font - Edit: Sorry another edit. Just wanted to clarify my wife is stunning. I wouldn't have married her if I didn't think she was beautiful. She is just not as CONVENTIONALLY attractive. To me she is the most beautiful women on the planet but objectively Rachel is better looking. I'm very open to being the asshole in this situation but I definitely wouldn't want people to think I'm not attracted to my wife.

    Font - GentlemanDeeds · 4h Partassipant [1] NTA - Aside from the way you handled it at the end, she's the asshole. Stop bringing her around when you hang out with Matt and Rachel. Don't lie to her though, just don't bring her anywhere they are going to be. If she doesn't like it then oh well, she doesn't get to bully people and get rewarded. 5.2k Reply Share Report Save

    Font - msherrvcvdsg · 1h Gosh NTA as a female we already have to go through so much in life why do we have to tear each other down. Such a sad situation. I feel your wife needs to see a therapist to help with her insecurities no one likes a bully 111 Reply Share

    Font - neverthelessidissent · 2h Colo-rectal Surgeon [46] Dude, YTA for making it clear to your wife that you don't find her attractive. You should have put some distance between yourself and Matt/Rachel the second it became obvious how the constant parade of attention made your wife feel. Your wife shouldn't have bullied Rachel, either, but in her shoes, I would just refuse to hang out with Matt and Rachel. 14 Reply Share Report Save
