A female reader, Summershine United States +, writes (2 January 2010):

Now think about this. Do you think she's fat? If not don't listen to him. He's probably jealous, and wants her to be miserable and self- concious about her weight. And he probably wants her back. Don't tell her. She probably hates him as much as cats hate dogs. So think over, lose your friend from somebodyelses comment. Or ignore the fact he's being a jackass?? Contact for more advice!

Personally I would leave it as its not going to do anything but create bad feelings. The ex is probably just being a big wooden spoon and stirring everything up. Just leave it. Good Luck!

it won't achieve anything. it came from her ex - we all make malicious comments about our exes (well, some do). the intention of the comment was probably to hurt her. don't give him the pleasure.

QuirkLady agony auntWhy would you want to tell her something like that? Why would you want your friend to feel bad? That's all it's going to do - either that or make her happy she dumped that loser in the first place.

Mind your own business. Sheesh!

Carrot2000 agony auntWhy? What good would it accomplish, except to make your friend feel even worse after her breakup? Just let it go, and stop having conversations about her with her ex-boyfriend.

No. why does she need to know? you wont be helping anyone by telling her, your friend will be mad at you for telling her, she will also be upset and also if they want to be friends later on you will ruin it now. this sounds to me like jealousy, as if you want to tell her what he said to get him on your side and make her annoyed with him, if it is stop it and find yourself another boy,

i think you should just leave it, he only said it because they have just broke up and hes hurt, hes using it as a way of getting back at her for hurting him. trust me do not tell her.

No definatly not, some say true friends should be honest. In this case, well its just simply not. You are just going to hurt her feelings, which could lead to even worse consequences. it sounds like he was just having a dig at her because deep down he is upset about it. Be a friend and turn a blind eye to it, all it would do is probably make the situation worse anyway. hope this helps :)

No, not a good idea. Telling a girl she's fat can have bad consequences. She might decide to go anorexic or something like that. And in truth, her ex was probably just trying to hurt her anyway. I wouldn't bother telling her.
