Top Commentators’ Reviews on this story: AITA for Calling My Crying Girlfriend Disgusting?
Nta
Not gonna lie I had my mind made up when I read the title but her words are absolutely disgusting. Having a happy, healthy child is what her focus should be, not her popularity. Don’t ignore her words though, she’s just shown her true colours.

Cheers to you OP (THE BOYFRIEND) for accepting, supporting, and loving this child more than her ACTUAL MOTHER! Make sure the daughter knows this because I feel like it’s only a matter of time before her own mother starts bullying her and trying to force her to be an exact copy of what she was in high school, if she hasn’t already done so. I mean for crying out loud, this woman seems more focused on treating her daughter like she’s a trophy child than as her daughter, and that’s just deplorable.

Have you just been ignoring a bunch of Red Flags for a year?
There’s no way you haven’t previously noticed that your girlfriend is superficial and immature….to the point where she would talk shit about her own daughter
Do us all a favor and wait for this post to get more responses and then show it to your girlfriend.

BUT- I have learned to enjoy what she enjoys, because I will lose connection with her if I don’t. She is her own person. So is your GF’s daughter. You were right to bring to her attention that SHE was being in the wrong. Expectations are a horrible thing. You cannot live out your dreams through your children. It’s not fair to them at all, and only causes you to feel miserable
