AITA for leaving Christmas dinner after my mother-in-law made a comment about my acne and weight ?
I still have acne at 31 years old. My mother-in-law (63f) has made a comment about my acne every time my husband (33m) and I visit his parents. Before Christmas, I had asked my husband to tell his mom to please stop commenting on my acne. My husband said he talked to his mom.
My husband and I went to his parents for Christmas dinner. All his siblings and their spouses were there. His uncle and aunt were there. When we arrived, my MIL made a comment about my acne. Then she said I gained weight. At least one sibling and their spouse heard what my MIL said. I just turned around and left.
When my husband got home, he said that he was disappointed in his mom’s behavior. Then he said he was disappointed at my behavior. He said I should have been the bigger person. He said his mom is old and old people are notoriously insensitive. Am I the asshole ?
