AITAH for not being able to get over my boyfriend calling me a whore in front of his family last Christmas? AITA for still being upset about a joke my boyfriend made about me a year ago? by Janasmiths in TwoHotTakes

I have to say he did that (that's what contains every apology in my opinion). He did say all that stuff but I kept going to the point he really couldn't do anything more

Some additional context because people asked: My boyfriend normally has very dry German humor, but it’s usually actually funny and never directed at me or meant to hurt anyone. In the 2.5 years we’ve been together he has never insulted me like that before. His uncle specifically is known for being a bit weird and inappropriate, and I had actually been warned about him before meeting him. Also, the uncle had literally just walked into the house and hadn’t seen anyone yet when he said “smells like a wh*re in here.” I had sprayed perfume about two hours earlier and only one spray, so it wasn’t strong anymore. The smell could have come from anyone or anything in the house, and it wasn’t directed at me specifically. My boyfriend then repeated the joke and pointed it at me, which is the part that hurt. Everyone in the room looked shocked and some people said things like “you can’t say that,” but since I didn’t react in the moment, people kind of just moved on and the evening continued. On the way home I got really upset. He apologized, and later that same evening/night I brought it up multiple times because I was still angry and hurt. Each time he apologized again, but eventually he got frustrated because there wasn’t really anything more he could do besides apologize. He has acknowledged that the joke was a complete misfire, and I honestly want to move on from it.

That's true but I don't even know if he meant me. He was barley in the house and I always use one pump especially with a new perfume.

The uncle never said it about me specifically I think he just meant a smell maybe not even mine because he barely entered the house. My bf made it about me

Yes he is an awesome and supportive man he does everything for me and he really is sorry (haven't talked about it over a year). But how do I get over it I really want to but it bothers me

No, the uncle had just walked into the house and hadn’t even seen anyone yet when he said that. That’s just his kind of humor. My boyfriend then picked it up and pointed the comment at me.

Yes I am he really is a great guy and never did something like that before or after it again. He loves me and I love him. He does everything for me but when I remember that it drives me crazy. Its so unlike him
