To be hurt by my dh comment about my weight

324 replies

givemestrengthorgin · 22/03/2017 09:48

Getting ready this morning I commented to dh that he was still as slim as he was when we meet 18 years ago. He laughed and said, "well you've put on enough for both of us". While it might be true (probably about 3 stone since we met) I have carried two babies who are still young (3 and 18 months). I'm fully aware that I've put on a lot of weight and so while his comment is true it's still hurtful. When I told him I was upset by what he had said his response was, "well you have" (put on weight enough for two). Am I being too sensitive or is this a shitty thing to say even if it is true?

Would you have preferred him to lie??

im about 4 stone more than i was when i met dp, if he told me i wasn't fat I'd consider it disingenuous tbh. He has put on weight and i tell him so - its not healthy. I just bought him an exercise machine for his bday. Does make me an insensitive twat or someone who is cocerned for the health of their loved ones??

Anyway intelegance is superior to muscle

LOL.

Some forums do have 'em. Hmm

I think she would have preferred him to graciously accept the compliment.

It's not hard.

bigbuttons, "Alice" knows quite well how to spell "intelligence". Just not how to deploy it. Dan Brown writes better dialogue than this.

PlymouthMaid1 · 24/03/2017 17:30

Doesn't seem that bad a thing to say it is true but I supposedly he could have been more considerate.

bigbuttons · 24/03/2017 17:32

Yorick That's most certainly true, but 'Alice' is keeping me entertained.
Give us some more 'Alice'.

AliceW1 · 24/03/2017 17:37

Im surprised you know what that is! Some of us obviously know how to treat others with respect !

TheoriginalLEM · 24/03/2017 17:39

Fair comment butchface. Yes his timing was not great. haven't rtft so can't comment on the rest

TheoriginalLEM · 24/03/2017 17:46

AliceW1 · 24/03/2017 17:56

I actually am pretty upset now because some of you on here actually are complete idiots who don't care about others thoughts and feelings I might of spelt something wrong but I'd rather not be able to spell than be some of you idiots! Ha! (I'm not talking about everyone)

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 24/03/2017 17:58

Fair comment butchface

BUTCHface??

Is that addressed to me?

Imma gonna change my user name.

ADisappearingDreamOfYesterday · 24/03/2017 18:03

I have nothing to actually add to the thread but I am actually laughing my head off at "butchface" GrinGrin

And I usually hate all the "I spat tea on my keyboard" stuff but that's really tickled me and I needed cheering up Smile

ADisappearingDreamOfYesterday · 24/03/2017 18:04

Excessive use of "actually" there, sorry. I pulled my DD up on her excessive use of "like" not half an hour go too Blush

bigbuttons · 24/03/2017 18:06

I can't understand posts with no punctuation .
Butch face is s fabulous name!

TheoriginalLEM · 24/03/2017 18:07

oops sorry - unfortunate slip of the finger Wink

Bluntness100 · 24/03/2017 18:11

Well this escalated quickly...I was lolling at sll the " you're a cunt" " no you're a cunt" which neatly segwayed into many many mentions of a man called joeys penis ....but butch face topped it right off.Grin

Think it's Wine time,,,happy Friday everyone..

AliceW1 · 24/03/2017 18:13

bigbuttons · 24/03/2017 18:33

butchy I was thinking you were going to go simply for butchface!

user1482079332 · 24/03/2017 18:36

Maybe he just saw an opportunity to mention your weight, although it was terribly insensitive he might have wanted to say something before but wanted to try and save your feelings
