Hi Reddit this is my first post on here. For a little background I am home from college for break. So my mom and I decided we were going to run some errands together but had to wait until later in the afternoon because her boyfriend was taking her car. This whole conversation was over a phone call because she was in her room and called me. The thing is, her boyfriend just got a new car for himself that my mom paid half for. I asked “why doesn’t he take his car so we can go earlier?” She went silent and didn’t give me a reason. I then said “oh or you can drive his car if he’s taking yours” she said she was too scared to drive it. I then said “why did you guys buy a new car if nobody drives it” in a half joking but also serious intentions way. She did not give me an answer and we hung up the phone. I later got a text from her saying it was so disrespectful of me to say that and that her boyfriend was listening on the phone and was very hurt by my comment. I am very confused because it was a genuine question and I do not see how it could hurt someone? Please let me know what you think!

UPDATE: told her about people backing me up and she said this through text :

Omg fuckin enough my name!!! These people don’t know our life to be saying shit!! I want to ask people who actually know us, not someone random folks…enough with this crap!!! U just dont get it and obviously NEVER will…I’m done talking…and I don’t know when I will be home yet so when I’m home, I’m home and then we can do what u need to do but it might not be close to 5 but who knows. This is taking longer than i thought.

And I said:

So your friends who go along with what you say no matter what? Instead of getting an unbiased perspective which is the most accurate you want people who will validate you and make you feel good.
