Uh oh…

This sure doesn’t sound good

And, while the guy who wrote the following story made an honest mistake, it’s pretty obvious that his girlfriend was NOT happy about what transpired.

Check out what he had to say about why his girlfriend got upset with him after he made a monumental blunder.

AITA for sending my girlfriend an Amazon ad for a plus size bathing suit?

“I may have screwed up a bit today.

​I (33M) sent my GF (30F) an ad for a bathing suit and asked her, “If I bought this for you, would you wear it?”

She immediately asked if I was calling her fat, and wanted to know why I sent her a plus-size bikini ad.

​Now, for context, my girlfriend is not fat. She is a healthy weight, maybe just slightly over, but I really can’t say much because I’m overweight myself.

He was trying to be nice…

The truth is, I just really love seeing her in bright colors and wanted to find her a nice bikini, since she doesn’t have any.

​I typed “pink and green bikini” into the Amazon search bar. The first ad I saw was $34. Then I scrolled down and saw one featuring a plus-size model that was half the price of the first one.

Without thinking, I just grabbed the link to the cheaper one, sent her the ad, and asked if she’d wear it.

​I didn’t even register what the ad said. I was just looking at the colors and the price tag.

This is about to get ugly…

Now she thinks I’m making a dig at her weight.

​I tried showing her the first ad I looked at to prove that the actual dimensions and sizing numbers are exactly the same on both listings—the only difference was the model in the picture and the wording of the ads.

She hasn’t answered me yet, and now I’m stuck waiting. I honestly can’t tell if she was just teasing me or if she is genuinely upset.

​What should my next move be here? Do I leave it alone or send a follow-up?”

It was an innocent error, but she wasn’t pretty ticked off about it.

Better luck next time!

This guy really stepped in it this time!
