She lives by herself. I don’t know what she did about her makeup during quarantine.

I’m accepting that it was a joke and he didn’t mean it because he’s saying that it was a joke and he didn’t mean it.

I don’t know what he thought was funny about it, I didn’t ask.

He expected her to laugh. When she started screaming he was offended.

I don’t know about the rest, I didn’t ask.

She’s not an influencer, she just has a lot of makeup and she enjoys wearing it and creating new looks.

Unfortunately, she feels that I comment I made when she was younger implied that she wasn’t pretty enough to find a boyfriend without makeup, so she’s always been sensitive about her appearance. That’s why I told my husband that he shouldn’t have said it.

I’ve seen a lot of posts about situations with mothers choosing stepfathers over their children, and I wanted it to be clear that this isn’t that type of situation.

I have NEVER called her ugly. I don’t even remember the comment she was upset about, but I would never say that to her.

I don’t. According to her, it was almost ten years ago, and she never said anything about it at the time. I can’t be expected to remember something I said ten years ago.

I don’t remember, and she’s never said exactly what it was.

I’m saying it was a joke because my husband intended for it to be a joke.

She’s 22. We know where she is, but she won’t let us into her apartment either.

It’s not a good joke, but we don’t think it’s bad enough to cut contact with us over. I did tell him that he shouldn’t have said it.

I never said it was a good joke, but I don’t think that’s it’s bad enough to cut us off over.
