29-year-old boyfriend tells 24-year-old girlfriend she looks like she’s 4 months pregnant, freaks out when she retorts that he looks 8 months pregnant: ‘He said he will starve himself for 2 weeks now because of that comment’

It’s widely believed that you shouldn’t dish what you can’t take. That doesn’t apply to lactose intolerant folks serving a cheesy meal to their loved ones, but rather for jokes and playful insults. If you’re going to have an edgy sense of humor that casts aside political correctness, you shouldn’t be crying when someone throws back the same level of offensiveness your way. It’s one thing to be insulted by an out-of-pocket comment that seemingly comes out of nowhere, but if you started the roasts, you shouldn’t be the one left crying at the end of them.

The boyfriend in this story cannot take what he dishes and never learned that he should never tell a woman she looks pregnant. Assuming a woman is pregnant in a neutral way can be a recipe for disaster, but telling your partner that they look pregnant as a joking insult is a surefire way to get insulted right back.
