Being at the wrong end of a joke is never fun, especially when it happens every time you’re around certain people.

So, what would you do if every New Year’s Eve meant sitting through jokes about everything from your body to your life choices while your partner’s friends laughed it off? Would you go to make your partner happy? Or would you finally refuse and protect your feelings for once?

In the following story, one boyfriend finds himself facing this decision and decides it’s best if he just stays home. Here’s what’s going on.

AITAH, Refusing to go to New Year’s Eve party because her friends bully me

My wife and I have been going over to a friend’s house on New Year’s Eve for the past few years, where everyone drinks, and somehow I become the butt of the joke.

It is mainly her friends that make the jokes, usually about my appearance (Im a pretty skinny guy) and the fact that we aren’t super super wealthy.

Her friends are the common, generic girls who date entrepreneurs/finance bros. Im saving up for a family and not making stupid purchases.

Now, they don’t see eye-to-eye.

Today, she mentioned we are going to their house tonight for New Year’s, and I stood my ground and said I’m not going. I know people are gonna comment about my fragile ego or whatever, but I told her she could go without me bc I refuse to go just to get bullied.

We ended up getting in a big fight, and she’s saying she is going anyway, with or without me.

I’d obviously want to spend New Year’s Eve with her, but I’m not sure if I should suck it up and go or just stay home.

I know if I dont end up going, they are going to talk about me even more.

AITA?

Wow! This whole situation sounds like quite a mess.

Let’s check out how the folks over at Reddit feel about what’s going on.
