Check out the full story below for the details!

AITA for calling my boyfriend’s degree useless?

My boyfriend (27M) and I (29F) were at a party a few nights ago.

We met up with my friends.

We have been in a relationship for a year, and celebrated our anniversary three weeks ago.

This woman made a comment about his boyfriend’s degree.

While at the party, one of my friends asked my boyfriend about school and work.

My boyfriend has a degree in African languages and works at a non-profit.

I had a quite a lot of drinks, so I called my boyfriend’s degree useless.

Because he doesn’t make much money at his job.

I did this in a funny way, of course.

He was not amused and started giving her the cold shoulder.

Most of my friends laughed.

One friend told me it was a jerk thing to say.

My boyfriend wasn’t happy either, although his degree really isn’t all that useful.

Ever since, my boyfriend has been kinda cold and I feel like a crap.

AITA?

Uh oh! Let’s see what others have to say about this.

This user speaks their mind.

People are calling her a jerk.

You’re terrible says this one.

Short but straightforward remark from this user.

Finally, this person thinks she might just be jealous.

Demeaning your partner for a momentary pleasure isn’t that impressive, hun.

She should have already known she was wrong.
