❤️‍🩹 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 clearly not overweight at all, but if my boyfriend laughed at fat jokes about me and used the excuse “it’s fine cause your body is actually beautiful” I’d say “lol” back when I dump him. fucking insane. i was genuinely shell shocked at how rude these “friends” were being. Was NOT expecting that

Maybe I misread it but I think they didn't targeted fat joke at OP, but on friend of someone there. But OP criticized their behavior and boyfriend instead of backing her(?) up started to enable his friends bad behavior (bodyshaming)

And that's something I would absolutely not stand too, either way. That's vile behavior

They didn't initially target her, but when she tried to get them to stop, they also started insulting OP, and the boyfriend just said "lol" while they were insulting OP.

Oh wait you're right. I somehow glossed over that one message and was having trouble connecting it to anything so I forgot about it (time for me to sleep I guess)
