'AITA for being upset after my husband made ruthless comments about my post-pregnancy weight?'

A Reddit user, identified as Low-Opinion147, has turned to the r/AmIOverreacting forum to seek advice after a tense exchange with her husband over her post-pregnancy weight.

According to the post, the couple moved homes when the original poster (OP) was eight months pregnant. At the time, she didn’t unpack most of her pre-pregnancy clothing.

The OP's husband says she won’t lose body weight after pregnancy

Fast forward to a recent dinner conversation where they were discussing decluttering their house. Her husband suggested that she should just throw away the clothes she hadn’t unpacked yet.

The OP told him that she couldn’t fit into those clothes because she was still working on losing the "rest of the baby weight."

To her surprise, her husband responded with a blunt comment, “If you haven't lost it by now, you won't lose it."

This comment, made just seven weeks after the woman's C-section, left her feeling deeply hurt.

She clarified that she had already lost 20 of the 30 pounds she gained during pregnancy but still had some weight to shed. "I am 7 weeks postpartum and have lost 20 of the 30 pounds I have gained. I had a C-section I was just cleared to lift anything heavier than my baby a week prior," the woman said.

The OP expressed how rude and hurtful the comment was. "I told him it was really rude," she said.

However, the woman's husband dismissed her feelings saying it wasn't a big deal because she had been back to her pre-pregnancy clothing by now after their other two children. "He said it wasn't because I was back in pre-pregnancy clothing by now with our other 2 children," the woman said.

Reddit community rallies behind the OP, calling her husband’s comment 'insensitive'

The OP's post sparked a range of responses from the r/AmIOverreacting community on Reddit expressing support for the OP, reassuring her that it was completely reasonable to feel hurt by her husband’s insensitive words.

A user wrote, "NTA. 7 weeks postpartum and you already lost 20 pounds? I think that's a great achievement! You should concentrate on your baby and not worry about losing weight. Your husband sounds like a moron."

Another added, "Not overreacting and your husband is an idiot. Each pregnancy is different and the way your body reacts to it is also different you've already lost the majority of the weight."

A third commentator remarked, "7 weeks postpartum is insane to think you can lose all of that."

"NOR. Your husband is an inconsiderate a** and when I read this to mine he was furious for you," wrote a user.

A person said, "NOR anyone saying u are is either a man or a woman who’s never had kids😂."

Another chimed in, "His comment was insensitive, especially considering you’re just 7 weeks postpartum and recovering from a C-section. It’s completely understandable to feel hurt, and you deserve patience and support during this time."
