Should I feel as hurt as I do?

On new years day we spent the day with my partners family. We were having a good time until they got talking about a friend of theirs, this friend has a girlfriend and my partner commented on how good looking she was and said that he would go with her if she wanted him too. This hurt like hell, I know he was joking around but its been 2 days and it has me on rock bottom. I suffer from depression and I have been constantly thinking about what he said, I now feel like I am inadequate, that I am not good enough the way I am. It is really getting me down and I have no idea what to do about it.

I think you need to tell him how you feel... It can be hard the first few times but it's about respecting yourself ... You need to talk about your feelings to him.. the usual recommendation yours something asking the lines of"when you say so and so, it makes me feel like .....", You have to link his actions to your feelings.

PS, I think he's an idiot for saying that in front of you
