It can be hard to grow older and watch the gray hair, fine lines and other signs of aging start. While there are some things that can be prevented or slowed down, there are others that are hard to fight due to genetics, such as male pattern baldness.

This guy’s wife asked him about balding in his family, but instead of answering her question, he had a comeback ready that didn’t go over well.

Did he take it too far, or did she have it coming?

Find out what happened.

AITAH for bringing up my in-laws weight when my dad’s hairline was brought up?

I’ve been with my wife 5 years now and as I’m getting a little older my hairline is beginning to thin ever so slightly.

While discussing it my wife asked me when my father really started to lose hair because she wanted to be “mentally ready” for it.

I replied asking when her mother really started to gain weight because I wanted to be mentally ready for it.

He shouldn’t have said that!

As we all know that did not go over well.

I just simply asked what the difference in her asking about his hairline and me asking about her weight was.

AITAH?’

YIKES! That’s a bad situation.

Why would they trigger each other like that?

Let’s find out what people on Reddit think about this one.
