AIBU to sulk? Husband says my breasts have shrunk.

Mamasaurus82 · 13/09/2019 17:41

Since I've been home from work my DH has asked if I'm due on (I'm not due for another week and a bit, but I'm tired as DS had nightmares last night and then thought it was getting up time at 4am). To make things worse, he then asked if my breasts have got smaller. I hope not, because I've put on weight, but I think it was a mean comment. I've been sulking ever since. Does anyone else have a partner who says the wrong thing at the wrong time? X

I would have gone with ‘funny, I’ve been thinking the same thing about your cock..’.

(but in all seriousness if he’s just being a blundering muppet rather than intentionally mean - big difference - then pull him up on it and tell him he’s making you feel bad. If he’s a decent one he’ll apologise...)

"Your penis is wrinkling"

Maybe (kindly meant) if you have put on a little weight, the appearance of your breast look a little smaller against the slightly larger body?

Yes! I love these comebacks. I already feel much better! Smile

"I Dont know if they have but this morning when you were getting dressed it reminded me that we've run out of button mushrooms"

WestEndWendie · 13/09/2019 17:54

Great. So if he ever puts on weight, perhaps you can ask if his cock has got smaller. Kindly meant, of course.Confused

I'm really not sure how asking if your breasts have shrank and if your due on is meant kindly?

He sounds like a knob x

BillywilliamV · 13/09/2019 17:58

Have they shrunk?

whywhywhy6 · 13/09/2019 18:00

He’s rude.

Yes, he is a bit of a knob sometimes. I don't think this will bother me at all tomorrow after sleep (hopefully) but thanks for the support- good to be able to vent. Yeah, they've probably shrunk, as i was breastfeeding lots and now I'm not, but he didn't have the sense to keep it in his head. Foolish manAngry

Yes agree tell him his cock looks smaller

The best put down was from a friend of mine who asked her husband during a passionate moment if he was in yet.

well take it as a compliment maybe? Smaller breasts are more attractive I think.

(and they'll get fuller once you've stopped bfing for a while anyway).

My boobs are a lot smaller than they used to be. It's not necessarily an insult!

breaconoptimist · 13/09/2019 18:21

Mine can be similarly tactless at times, let’s say I’ve learned not to ask if I look nice when I’ve got to be out in 5 mins and only want reassurance!

Mine would be grovelling for months if he commented on my boobs, stopping bf is hard as he’ll have habituated to the bf ones - I wish I could’ve kept them!

Disfordarkchocolate · 13/09/2019 18:22

Extra weight = smaller penis.

Old age = balls closer to his knees.

Old age is a peach.

Ohyesiam · 13/09/2019 18:23

But make sure you remark on his lack of dick just as he’s getting amorous. So you’re lying there kissing, things are getting hotter, he’s getting harder. You teach down take hold of his manhood and shriek “ bloody hell have you’ve shrunk! What happened?”

Mumofboth · 13/09/2019 18:25

“Are you coming on?” is a running joke in my household and my response is usually along the line of “nope, you’re just a cock” or something equally childish, then we laugh. The context of his comments are really important. I wouldn’t take offence to being told my boobs have shrunk if they have but I’d take offence if he showed he didn’t find me attractive because of it. Tell him you feel tired and shitty and his comments are making you feel worst and hopefully he’ll stop. But don’t read too much into it if he’s usually brilliant.

I'm pretty sure we don't know each other, but guilty as charged. It was a FWB.
