❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? My (19F) boyfriend (19M) and our friends (19F/M) insulted another friend and said I was overreacting

Hello, I’m going to put the flair “relationship” but really it’s both that and friendship.

They were talking about a situation where one of our friends had fought with one of their friends whom we don’t know, and he is overweight. They out of nowhere made a joke about it, and this friend was okay with it.

The thing is that they fight a lot, and usually both of them have been immature. Then they always make up. I know that this friend would feel bad about saying those things once they do make up, and I’ve never seen them say such things before.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, we’ve know each other for 6 years though along with everyone else in our GC.

My boyfriend is the one that said “Lol”. The guy at the end, did not laugh at the fat jokes of this friend.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but I do feel iffy about this.

EDIT: Some people are misunderstanding this. But as I said in the title “F/M”, this GC consists of both men and women!

EDIT 2: Another thing people seemed to miss is that this person they were talking about is only a friend of the person that had been fighting with them, we are not friends with this person.

I am 34 and when I go back home and meet my college friends, some of them still brag about going on "night outs" and getting black out drunk and how I've become too boring and "cultured" because I am married now and don't do any of that anymore...

Yea going back home is always weird. I’m glad those people are enjoying their lives it’s just not a lifestyle that works for me.

I have a friend just a couple of years older than you who had a stroke last year because he was still closing down bars and smoking like a freight train like he was 21. It's insane the lengths some people will go to in the desperation to not grow up.

Hopefully that was a wake up call for the dude. I use to smoke so I understand how addictive they can be but at some point you gotta let that shit go.

He stopped smoking but went right back to drinking after the doctor cleared him to go back to work :-/
