Having boundaries and making sure they are well recognized is the only thing that will keep people from trying your patience and disrespecting you. Letting things slide can sometimes be the mature thing to do, but it can be understood as permission to continue behaving in the same manner. 

Sometimes it's necessary to put people back in their place when they cross the line. It won't completely prevent such situations from occurring, but it will at least make the person think twice before attempting something like that again. 

Setting boundaries is extremely important, and ensuring they are respected is just as important. It's the only way to impose respect.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/CourageClassic6141 made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where she explained how she made a comment to one of her husband's co-workers after she crossed the line. The co-worker got deeply offended by the comment, which made Op doubt the way she handled the situation and drove her to consult with the Reddit community. 

The r/AmItheA**hole community had a lot of different reactions to the user's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post.

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/CourageClassic6141:

OP and her husband have been dealing with a lot of dumb jokes about the name change.

What would normally be a normal interaction turned into a "bit of a spat."

Brenda, one of the husband's coworkers, decided to attack OP and criticize her as a wife.

Brenda kept pushing further and further until OP cracked and had to put an end to it.

Brenda got deeply offended by OP's comment, which made her doubt the way she handled the situation.

OP eventually modified the post to include some "Edits" with more context.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/CourageClassic6141's post:

Brenda started it and sufferer the consequences of her behavior.

OP and her husband are such an awesome couple!

OP shouldn't have engaged with Brenda and could have avoided this drama.

Brenda needs to get house-trained.

"She was giving unsolicited advise on a subject for which she is unqualified to speak on..."

Marriage advice for someone who has no idea what marriage is like.

Brenda was way out of line.

OP's comment would have maybe been offensive in the 50s.

"It's just weird and threatening to them to see married people who like each other's company."

They hate the fact that Op and her husband genuinely enjoy being married to each other.

Some workplaces are wild. Who even does that.

It would suck for the husband if it were the case.

The kind of relationship OP has with her husband is quite rare.

OP should have avoided engaging with her husband's co-worker, but despite that, she pretty much asked for it by publically discussing matters that have nothing to do with her. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to share it with your friends and check out similar content on our platform.
