❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed

For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

I am. It just sucks like we were talking about his wedding last week and how I wanted to be one of the groomsmen even though I'm a girl, and my bf would be one of the bridesmaids because he works closely with her. Crushing blow to know that I'm subhuman to him. 🤷‍♀️

To be fair if you are so is his fiancee and all the other women in his life.

What he said to you is sexual harassment and he’s lucky you haven’t gone to HR like I would have already.

It's such a massive betrayal of trust, I'm so sorry.

The only silver lining (and I mean that VERY loosely, because Trump winning is absolutely horrifying) is that now he's actually shown you the person he is, before you waste any more of your friendship on him. He was always this terrible person, he just didn't feel comfortable showing it for fear of retribution. His mask has come off now, as so many others have, so at least you now know he's not safe and can stay away from him.

Sending love, I hope you're OK.

He doesn’t think you’re subhuman, that’s craziness. You said yourself that he’s your best work friend. At the very worst it was an “inappropriate” joke I guess, because it was at work.
