Some jokes can be a little too insensitive.
This woman heard her husband’s friend make a joke about her baby’s paternity.
She felt disrespected, so she insulted him right back.
Her husband thinks she went too far, but did she?
Check out the full story below.
AITA for calling out my husband’s friend after he made inappropriate comments about my son’s paternity?
I (23F) have been married to my husband, Alex (27M), for 2 years, and we have a 10-month-old son, Dylan.
Alex has a friend named Mike (27M).
They’ve been best friends since high school.
This woman never liked her husband’s friend, Mike.
From my first encounter, I did not like Mike.
He is really childish. He likes to be the center of attention, and he has a crude sense of humor.
It’s like he never got out of his frat boy phase.
She thought Mike was unlikeable.
All of my husband’s friends are married or in long-term relationships.
Whereas Mike has never been in a long-term relationship, and he has never brought any woman around.
He has also made some weird comments toward me that made me uncomfortable.
But her husband is close to Mike.
My husband has a deep bond with Mike.
They often go on hunting trips or have boys’ nights.
I’ve never tried to keep my husband from hanging out with his friend, but I have limited my contact with Mike as much as possible since we’ve been together.
Mike joked about him being her baby’s dad.
Mike came over to pick up my husband to go golfing.
I was holding our baby when I answered the door.
Mike greeted us at the door.
He asked to hold my baby, and was cooing at him.
Then he said, “Hey there, man! Come to papa.” And my husband and Mike started laughing.
Mike and the baby have the same features.
A bit of background: I have brown hair and blue eyes, and my husband has black hair and brown eyes.
Our son’s hair is coming in blonde, and he has blue eyes.
Mike has blondish hair and blue eyes.
Mike continued joking.
I was a bit caught off guard by it but ignored his comment.
Mike then said, “He looks like me. Maybe he’s mine.”
And my husband and Mike continued to laugh.
She got annoyed and lashed out.
I was obviously not amused.
I told Mike to hand me my son, and then I told him, “Not in a million years. And no woman with sense would want you.”
Her husband thought she overreacted.
Neither my husband nor Mike laughed at my comment.
And Mike just made a face before he and my husband left.
Later, my husband told me I “took it too far” with Mike. He said Mike was just joking, but I made it personal.
But she felt disrespected.
I told him those comments were disrespectful to me. I’m his wife and the mother of this child.
He then said it’s obviously not true, and he added that I shouldn’t be so upset when I know how Mike is.
Her husband should stand up for her instead of defending his immature friend.
