So at the moment I have a fractured elbow and scaphoid and numerous bruises including black eye having come off my bike last Friday so I'm not feeling my best. Telling hubby about a conversation with someone at school who's got a little about same age as the one we are hoping to adopt in a few weeks and we'd said we might try a few playdates. Thinking aloud I then said, "maybe we could walking or jogging together". DH says "Not likely, she's really fit, she wont want to be slowing down for you".
Way to make me feel good about myself, especially when I'm already feeling rough! Thank you and goodnight!

Proper response: gee honey, by that rationale .... I shouldn't be hanging out with you!0

Wow - sure you want to bring a child into that? Just saying -- not very supportive. Are you ready to go this alone (at least virtually)...0

well he could be telling the truth, just a little too blunt.0

He's being logical. You're being emotional.
Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars.
You're both right.0 -
Well, guess I walked into that one - serves me right for posting! Normally I wouldn't get upset by it but as I said bit sore and sensitive, and my normal outlet for PMS (exercise) is not an option.0

I would have boxed his ears, good.!0

the way he said it if that was truly his wording was not very nice. I don't blame you for being a little upset over it.0 -

Absolutely.. no offense darling but he's a knob for saying that. Hope you are feeling better soon.:flowerforyou:0 -
I really don't think his comment was necessary . . .0

Sorry he made you upset. Men tend to just tell people the truth like is and when talking to other men, that isn't really a problem. Some/most of them have yet to realize the things they say can be hurtful to us. My husband does this, he uses his "man tone" in a lot of conversations with me and I end up all butt hurt over the situation then I have to tell him that sometimes he sounds like an a**hole and does it without realizing it.
On another note, it must be freeing to say whatever you want whatever way you want and not care how others feel. Ahhh to have balls lol :laugh:0 -

If I had 2 good arms I would have done!0 -
Men are too logical for their own good.
You should chop his balls off. After all, you are adopting and have no use for them.0 -
People need to learn when the truth is valuable and when it will just get a boot lodged in their *kitten*.0
-
no, I don't think it's "truth" put in hurtful form. It's just a*hole.. If you've got little ones you're not going to be jogging high pace. There is a limit to how fast you can go with kids.0
-
Regardless of whether or not he feels it's true, it's really NOT nice to say something that blunt to you, let alone when you are already emotional and in pain. My hubby would NEVER say something like that to me, but if he did, like KangooJumps said, I'd box his ears! And maybe give him a swift kick where it counts for good measure!0

Yeah, it happens in marriages. People say dumb things to their spouses all the time. Pretty sure you've said some dumb stuff to him :laugh:
Eta, great job on your loss, that's fabulous!0 -

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!0 -
Are you really fit like the other woman you're talking about? If not, how can you get mad at him for saying that?0
-
Firstly, he has foot in mouth disease...this can't have been the first time he's done this, sensitive or not, you pretty much knew what you were getting when you married him...right?
Secondly, he can't read minds, the only one that can yea or nay this is her. So ask her. She may be really flattered. She may be too busy . But either way, ask her.0 -
Withhold sex until he remembers what he did wrong.
You'll never have to sleep with him again!0 -
Check his text messages.0
-
Did you tell him that he upset you or did you come straight to the message boards?0

Ugh. Another man and his stoopid logic.
That's too easy!0 -
A few months ago I told my husband I was thinking about signing up for a Zombie Run.
My husband's response: That's just stupid, you're too old to be doing stuff like that. (I'm 41)
Result: I'm doing a Zombie Run on September 28th.
My point: YOU know what YOU are capable of. Ask her.0 -
eeeeekkkkk!!! Themz "fighting words", for sure!
Surely there's a website out there, somewhere, called "A$$hat things my husband says...."
Please add your blog to THAT website (too!).

I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings, OP. It was just a comment that you were sensitive to. If the woman is actually more fit than you are, he might actually have a point, but you should ask her anyway. Maybe she would prefer having company.0
-
You did say you hurt yourself. Do you think that he was taking that into consideration and that he wasn't thinking that you can't keep up? Did you even ask him what he meant by that instead of storming off and posting on here? What ever happened to talking a person to sort things out instead of seething and getting upset over nothing? It is nothing. I guarantee he hasn't thought about what he said after he said it. Move on. It isn't worth it.0

Really? Have you ever as a fit person said to someone less fit "no - I don't want to go walking with you?" I have NEVER met someone who was into fitness not want to support someone else's fitness. He is jerk - bottom line. This is not a "does this dress make me look fat question" where you open yourself up for truth- this was a slap in the face. I stand by my original comment - NOT VERY SUPPORTIVE!I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings, OP. It was just a comment that you were sensitive to. If the woman is actually more fit than you are, he might actually have a point, but you should ask her anyway. Maybe she would prefer having company.0 -
