My boyfriend said "You have African tits, they're always saggy" :( Is it ok for me to be so upset over that?

My boyfriend and I were making dinner together, and I wasn't wearing a bra under my dress and he was shirtless. Sometimes his stomach sticks out in a rounded shape and I said, "you look like an African child when your stomach does that." He's really fit and has a 6 pack and I was completely exaggerating as it was a tiny bump. He immediately responded "You have African tits, they're always saggy." I immediately stopped talking and continued with my dinner. He joined me on the couch to eat and about 20 minutes later of silence he applied saying, "I'm sorry you don't have African tits." I shrugged and said ok but when I left the bed naked to get some water he followed me out and it made me really uncomfortable to be standing their with nothing covering my boobs. I've never felt like that. :( He knows how sensitive I am about my boobs. I've lost 40lbs twice, so yet they sag and to me look misshapen and not even like boobs. I woke up upset still thinking about it. Am I crazy to be so upset over that considering my first comment?

  • The common lesson here is not to make jokes about someone's body, a lot of people are sensitive and insecure about some parts of their body or all of their body and any comment like what you said can trigger someone to retaliate. I know you were joking and if someone said that to me I'd just laugh, but not everyone is like that.

    • You're completely right. I decided to ask him this morning if he was hurt by my comment. He said no, more like annoyed. Apparently he'd been teased in the past and I had no idea. Thanks for your input!

  • Nope! I'd be upset too

    • Stupid

    • @singlebee Why? Cuz I have an opinion?
