so, i (24f) have been friends with “jenny” (25f) for a really long time. we’ve been through a lot together—she’s my ride-or-die, and we’ve had some great times over the years. we’ve also always been very open with each other about everything, including sensitive stuff like body image.

i’ve struggled with my weight for years. i’ve done a few diets and tried to work out, but it’s always been an up-and-down thing. i’ve accepted it, but i won’t lie—i’ve always felt self-conscious about my size, especially around people who are naturally slim or fit.

anyway, i’m getting married in a couple of weeks, and i’ve been working hard to find a dress that makes me feel confident. it was a huge deal for me, because i wanted to feel beautiful on my wedding day, no matter what size i am. i found the dress, and i was feeling really good about it, even though it wasn’t the size i thought i’d wear.

jenny came over to my house last week to try on her bridesmaid dress, and while we were talking, she made a comment that completely threw me off. she said, “you’re really hoping that dress fits, right? i mean, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna fit you at all, but i’m sure you’ll squeeze into it somehow.”

i was in shock. i didn’t even know how to respond. it wasn’t even just the words—it was how casually she said it, as if it wasn’t a big deal. i immediately felt like i couldn’t breathe. this wasn’t just a harmless joke to me; it hit a really deep insecurity.

i asked her to leave. i told her i couldn’t have someone who would make a comment like that in my life during one of the most important days of my life. she tried to apologize, saying it was a joke, but it didn’t feel like one. it felt like she was casually tearing me down, and i just couldn’t handle it.

now she’s really upset with me, and my other friends are telling me that i was too harsh. they think i overreacted, that i could have just talked to her about how i felt. but i just couldn’t get past what she said. it wasn’t a “slip-up” or a “bad joke”—it was just mean.

AITAH for kicking her out of my wedding over the comment?
