What would you do if your husband said these things to you:
We're in a used car lot & he's looking at the heavier duty pickups. He walks over to the heaviest duty truck on the lot & says: "I could haul you...the dog...the camper...." at this point I cut him off, looked him straight in the eye & said: "Niccceee." Then he gets a surprised look on his face & smiles with embarrassment, realizing what he just said.
Then later that day we need to go to the store to get his birthday dinner fixings for the next day (his birthday). We're in the driveway, just about to get into the pickup & he says: "Should I put the tailgate down for ya?" (like we do for the dogs)
Now, I laughed about this today when I told my friend about it because, well, lets admit, this sounds like an "old couple joke" that you read in a section of the paper. However, it REALLY hurt my feelings.
I asked him what he ment by that & all he said was, "I plead the 5th." Then I told him, "Well, no more fat jokes! That's twice today."
Anyway, I realize that I need to pick my battles & this really isn't a huge thing but I don't think I am "fat" (5'7" 170lbs.) I feel like this must be how he feels about me or he wouldn't have said it. Right? We we're fighting or arguing or anything like that. Nothing provoked these comments. What do you think?
I just wondered what other's would think if they were in my shoes.
