My best friend was visiting me this week and since it’s summer we decided we wanted to go to the pool.
She has been on antidepressants for the past two years which has made her gain a ton of weight. She used to be very slim and skinny like me but the meds have completely changed her body composition.
She brought a few bathing suits and was asking for my opinion on them. She had a one piece and a bikini she was deciding between. She kept saying she looked too fat in the bikini and might wear the one piece, I actually thought the one piece looked better but I didn’t say anything because it was up to her.
She modeled both for me and asked for my opinion. All I said was “I like the one piece better!”.
She asked me if I thought she looked fat in the bikini, and I said no I just like the other one better. She started to act super triggered and kept accusing me of thinking she’s fat and I told her to f off and wear whatever she wants.
She put on the one piece and kept making snarky comments about how I think she’s fat and I would ignore her but she kept taunting me with comments so I just snapped and said “yeah you shouldn’t wear a bikini cause it doesn’t look good on you, happy now? is that what you wanted me to say so badly?”
She just started packing her bags and went somewhere, I haven’t heard from her since. I heard from our mutual friend Allie that she’s safe she just went to a hotel and rebooked her flight. But allie told me that apparently my friend told her that I called her fat and Allie says I could’ve handled the situation better even when I told her the real story.
AITA?
