To kill him with fire for pointing out that I have age spots on my hands??

Just popped out for a glass of wine in local pub garden with DH and DS19.
Catching a few rays of autumn sunshine, senses slightly dulled by pinot grigio when DH says,
" Your hands are just like your mother's...covered in age spots."
How to ruin a moment.

  1. He has noticed the age spots of which I am hugely aware and hate.
  2. He has pointed out similarity between me and -mad PITA- DM. Should I LTB?

Yes, LTTTB

(leave the truth telling bastard)

It's your fault, though. Haven't you taught him to keep schtum yet?

I'm with frusso on this one!

Do you need a new patio? Kill him.

OnlyTheDepthVaries · 24/09/2016 16:59

I have pointed out that it is possibly one of the worse things he has ever said to me. He will suffer!!
New patio is looking likely.....
I am gutted - and desperately googling how to rid myself of said age spots.

I'd be furious too! I have patches of vitiligo on my hands though they don't really bother me. I swear though, I've seen a couple of patches that look like age spots to me.
I bought fade-out moisturiser for it though haven't been too good at keeping it up. Might Google though!!!!!

YANBU.

Roast him over a slow fire.

I have age spots.
But then again I am quite aged Grin
And in my misspent yoof I used to take my gloves off when skiing in order to tan the back of my hands... Hmm I liked the contrast between tanned hands and whiter skin between my fingers, thought it 'sexy' - if I could slap my 16 year old self, I would...

SabineUndine · 24/09/2016 17:24

Darling, I'll help you hide the charred remains.

TaterTots · 24/09/2016 17:31

Poison his dinner.

A 'friend' of mine who I don't see that often felt moved to say 'Blimey, you've piled it on haven't you?' last time we saw each other. I was too shocked to respond at first. Once I'd got over that I began planning a brutal murder.

justilou · 24/09/2016 17:32

I would have asked how long he'd been planning his future celibacy....

pugsake · 24/09/2016 17:35

I'll ktb you kill ex-mil the perfect crime

pugsake · 24/09/2016 17:39

Semi lighthearted Grin

RunnyRattata · 24/09/2016 17:40

Tell him he's turning into a rude old fart like his dad.

HerFaceIsAMapOfTheWorld · 24/09/2016 17:42

That is really rude op, I would be upset as well.

Salmotrutta · 24/09/2016 19:00

They are not age spots.

They are freckles.

OnlyTheDepthVaries · 25/09/2016 08:34

They are very big freckles.....
