Confidence is a fragile thing, especially when placed in the hands of the wrong people.

One woman arrived to the function feeling good about herself, but when her boyfriend met her with a crude comment, she quickly realized she was nothing more than a punchline.

You’ll want to read on for this one.

AITA for leaving my boyfriends bday party after what he said to me

Went to his party, made a proper effort to look nice.

Wore a cute top and jeans.

I felt really good in it.

But that’s when her boyfriend decided to ruin everything.

First thing he says when he sees me is, “Oh, I thought you’d dress up a bit more, maybe do your makeup or something,” and then laughs and goes, “Nah, I’m joking, chill.”

This shook her confidence deeply.

Everyone else laughed too, and I just stood there like, “Oh, okay, cool. Didn’t realize I looked that bad.”

I stayed for a bit, tried to act normal, but ended up leaving early.

Then her boyfriend has the nerve to treat her like the bad guy.

Now he’s saying I embarrassed him and made it a big deal for nothing.

AITA, or was that actually out of order?

That’s definitely no way to greet your partner.

Reddit is sure to have some strong opinions.

There’s really no excusing her boyfriend’s behavior.

It’s so wrong on so many levels.

It may be time to take a cold, hard look at their relationship.

This boyfriend may have just exposed his true colors.

When your partner treats you more like a punchline, that’s how you know something needs to change.

He may have treated her like a joke, but he was the one making a fool out of himself.
