at least he is somewhat defending her, instead of just letting his parents say what they want

true, but when you capitalize something in a certain context, it's usually not a good sign.

Why? He was defending her to his mother.

#4 I agree. If my boyfriends mom were to say something negative about me I would want a greater defense then that. Even a simple, "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" would be better.

I just feel that if my boyfriend were to defend me I wouldn't want him to basically say, "She's not the best, but she's not bad."

What if he's just being honest?

You're hot.

You do realize OP's boyfriend was standing up (kind of) for OP? Not a very good reason to call him an ass to me.

While I agree somewhat that he was backing her, my comment is more geared towards the implication that she's problematic through the boyfriend suggesting that she isn't "that" bad. I think was rude and ass-like of him.

But remember - that was supposed to be a text from him to his mother with nobody else involved. It would be different if he said it out loud at a family dinner.

I suggest you not listen to this petty asshole.

Yeah ikr. I mean what are the actual chances that you're texting someone and then "accidentally" start typing to the wrong person. I think OP's boyfriend was just messing with her. That's actually the type of thing I'd do.

No offense but. . .I don't understand what you just said.

Ikr how hard is it to click the persons name that you want to talk to.

No offense but, I think you might be stupid.

44, no offense, but you're a dick.
