lol love hiting him with the frying pan icon lol my DH does the same thing but with when i tell him i'm going to lose weight and i know he means well its just that he doesnt belive me. i have repeatedly told him i'm going to lose weight over the past 5 years and its never happened so i know he just thinks i'm doing the same old same old but this time im very seriuos and the only thing i tell him is that " you can think i'm lieing if you want, but i will prove it to you, if for no other reason then to say I TOLD YOU SO" and this tends to make me feel better becuase i'll be the one in a size 5 jeans when his mouth hits the floor lol

I would just tell him that what he says hurts my feelings. There's really no excuse for that. We get older--so what!

I can be a b*tch in my own way, but I'm very sensitive about body image issues -- mine and other peoples'.

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.

I suppose if yours are drooping, his is too? Maybe you are a LOT more tactful already than I would be.

It really does depend on his presentation, I suppose, but everyone ages. Everyone.
