To think it's rather juvenile to ask DH "Do you think she is prettier than me?"

I did this today for the first time and felt like a twat as soon as I had said it. Has anyone else asked this or am I juvenile and insecure?

Who cares? Did DH mind or not? Don't worry about it.x

Yeah, you probably did feel a bit of a dick asking that. I would.

What did he say?

valiumredhead · 27/02/2012 17:18

OMG I would never ask that!

gamerwidow · 27/02/2012 17:22

It is a bit if a juvenile and pointless question to ask, he can hardly say yes without causing offence so if he says no it means nothing.

thebestisyettocome · 27/02/2012 17:23

Were you watching Angelina and her 'amazing' leg at the time. If so the answer was probably yes Grin

bobbledunk · 27/02/2012 17:26

It likely puts him in a terrible position of either lying to you or hurting your feelings, so yes, juvenile and a bit meanGrin, how did he answer?

Wizardora · 27/02/2012 17:31

Ha! It was a girl he's at uni with who is a part time glamour model and took a bit of an interest in DH, of course he said me, don't know where the insecure and unreasonable question came from it just slipped out Blush !

Its only juvenile if you are going to get upset if he says "yes she is prettier".

And of course it depends on whether she's an unobtainable celeb or your best mate.

She might be prettier, but are looks the only reason he is with you? I take it you still want to be with him when you are wrinkled old 90 year old?

If you are looking for reassurance because you are feeling insecure or threatened then asking that question really isn't going to give you the answer you need anyway.

i make a point of never soliciting opinion on any other woman's appearance, even celebs and the like. why start them thinking? and what if they say things you don't want to hear?

TinyPants · 27/02/2012 17:36

Well obviously he'd have to say she wasn't so he didn't hurt your feelings so it was a bit pointless asking, really! (Not saying you aren't prettier btw, I haven't seen either of you.)

aldiwhore · 27/02/2012 17:37

Its a dangerous question.

She may well be prettier than you in general/popular terms, but does your DH love her more than you?

Never ever... YABU and you know that pmsl!! I hope he rolled his eyes and gave you a hug.

QuickLookBusy · 27/02/2012 17:43

What was his answer? Grin

SparkySparrow · 27/02/2012 17:45

My dh would always say no! Smart man Grin

Trills · 27/02/2012 17:54

It's certainly asking for trouble.

YANBU to kick yourself for doing it.

NoDontLickThat · 27/02/2012 17:57

I wouldn't ask tbh, but sometimes have a laugh with DP and ask this about celebrities who are clearly a lot prettier, he always says "ofcourse not!" :o

GoingForGoalWeight · 27/02/2012 17:58

As long as you do not feel hurt if the answer is yes!

NoDontLickThat · 27/02/2012 18:05

**sometimes I have a laugh Blush
