‘Seeing her visibly shaken was just awful’: Reddit applauds user for shutting down inappropriate comments from a family member
‘Seeing her visibly shaken was just awful’: Reddit applauds user for shutting down inappropriate comments from a family member
A viral Reddit r/AmItheAsshole post details how one man stood up for his girlfriend when his uncle made inappropriate comments and got too handsy at a family event. Instead of brushing it off, he called him out publicly, pitting him against his other family members.
Red flags
The original poster (OP) explained that his uncle started with backhanded compliments meant for his girlfriend, Kate, saying things like “Wow, you’re way too pretty for him.” That alone was cringeworthy, but then it escalated into outright predatory comments, such as “I would have snatched you up back in the day.”
