Question by Frodo: How do I handle someone who is rude to me and making fun of me for my non-conventional relationship?
Short version
—-
How would you handle someone who made fun of you for deciding to get married to someone from another country (Mexico) and for having not lived together in the same city before deciding to get married?

Long version
———-
Okay, so I’m now engaged. And it’s to someone that I’ve been having a long distance relationship with for about a year and a half. She lives in a different country but we see each other very often. We’re in love and want to get married. And we’re planning to get married within about 7 months.

So there’s this guy that I know who found out that I’m engaged and tonight, he and his girlfriend started asking me all kinds of questions about her and about our relationship. This guy’s girlfriend is nice and she was being respectful to me. But he was kind of making fun of me.

For example, his girlfriend asked, “What does she do for a living?”. And I responded back “She’s a part time psychologist”, which is true. And this guy says “Oh, at a zoo, for animals or something?”. I said, “Um no, but that’s really funny. You’re a funny guy”

I know that he was making fun of me. He kept saying little things like that, like he was making fun of the country she is from and about how we met. (We met through the internet originally)

It freaking annoyed me. He did this in front of someone else other than his girlfriend and it embarrassed me.

So how would you handle someone like this? And give me some advice on how to not let this get to me. I really don’t want to let it get to me but it already is.
