I bet he thinks he's just "bustin your balls". So many guys do noooot get that girls don't talk **** to each other like that. And that if we say something mean, we usually mean it.
My boyfriend's mom and I have a theory that all that extra useful stuff, like putting socks in the hamper or thinking AHEAD, is on that extra little leg on the X chromosome that guys don't have haha.
If my boyfriend said to me what your husband(s) said, I would get soooooo pissed. I'm less of a "well you too!" kinda person and more of a communication kinda person, so I would just say that it hurt my feelings and that it was mean. My boyfriend has said a few stupid things without thinking in the past, and when I made him realize it hurt my feelings, it never happened again.
But everyone is different. What works for one couple might not work for another. I like the idea of making sure he notices that dudes still check you out! I'd check you out if I was a guy. Just sayin.
