This is my one issue with women, they want to be able to read their minds and say the right thing, sorry Iadies i left my prof x wheelchair in the garage

Thor, thankfully not all of us wives feel that way....

lol i know my wife learned early on i cant read minds but my mother and sister still expect to do so lol

What did you want to hear?

How about I'm sorry honey and a hug. Or hoow about this weekend we go on a hike or walk in the park. Something supportive.
:flowerforyou:

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but what would he be apologising for? The energy of the Universe not granting you weight loss?

Love this! lol

So, I guess all of you were in the room with her when her "knight in shining armor" said the most supportive thing holding roses and looking at her longingly?!? Give me a freaking break! None of you were there. You don't know what HIS tone was, how he looked at her, how his body language was towards her. You assume she interpreted her own husband who SHE lives with wrong. You ASSUME he was being supportive. Obviously she didn't feel that way and came here, where she should come, to get support.

I agree that many of you are being hard on your husbands.

I won't lie I do that sometimes too. I'll get down on myself but if he is supportive I shoot back something along the lines of "what do you know you have never had this problem" if he doesn't say anything I get mad that he isn't supporting me.

I have to admit getting mad for saying I'm beautiful would be a new one though... I like when he says that:)

I do still have to listen to my husband munch on chips have candy, etc. He has a bag of my favorite chocolates sitting on the living room table right now that he bought for himself the other day. But you know what I just have to deal with that. He shouldn't have to eat differently because I choose to.

He wants me to reach my goal. He told me don't give up. U can do it.

sometimes men are too careful. 35 years ago, i divorced a man that for 7 years when asked "where do you want to go for dinner?" or "which movie do you want to go see?" or "what do you want for dinner?" and any other "choice" question the answer was "whatever you want". GRRRRRRRRR!! it made me insane

all i wanted was NOT to make ALL the decisions ALL of the time. just tell me what you want for dinner.. just once

Lol..you neglected to add this into your original post..makes you look even crazier IMO!

Sounds like he's being SUPER supportive and you should be thankful, not bashing him on the internet!!!

smiles4deb

My husband just got done reading a book called For Men Only, in it, it says men like to "fix". So now, if I say something like the OP said, he will ask me, are you venting or are you wanting me to fix? Works for both of us.

You divorced someone for being considerate? That deserves singledom

In her defense, she didn't say that was the reason for the divorce. Just that he did that for 7 yrs...lol

Kind of silly, though xD

I used to be in a relationship where I was lucky if my head didn't get bounced off a wall every weekend after he had been to the pub, and he called me a fat b*tch on a regular basis, does that mean he was supporting me in my weight loss goals, damn, maybe I should have been more grateful and not run off to the police, how stupid do I feel now, sounds like he was a KEEPER. Get a grip people :noway:

This morning was my weigh in day. I didn't lose anything .. which pissed me off. So when I told my husband it. All he said was stop thinking about it so much. And it will happen!
Boy that's not what I wanted to hear....

I would of been a little pissed myself. Mine always says I know you are working towards it but I don't see it myself or I will ask him again in a few weeks and he will say I see it in your jeans... which is nice but in truth I don't think he really dose see it.

JulieF11

Wow~ who'd of guessed that thread would evoke so much emotion... from both sides?!? Well, regardless of how it's taken, I am sorry you had a week without weight loss. I know that can be discouraging. Hang in there and hope you have a great weigh in next week. :happy:

yes it does and have been happily single for 35 years... marriage isn't for everyone and don't assume because someone is single life must be terrible for them. some people just need a free rein

He only said this because in the sheer terror of realizing he was being drawn into a conversation involving women and weight in which THERE IS NO RIGHT THING TO SAY, he panicked and spewed the first thing that came to mind. Be happy his heart didn't seize right then and make you a widow.

This made me laugh out loud!: :happy:

I laughed so hard I started crying. This is great. And it is true. Why is it that some women are NEVER happy no matter what.
Your husband could have told you to get off your fat lazy butt and work harder at it and maybe you would see some results.....I mean seriously, he was encouraging you. Give the guy an A and move on. It isn't his fault your scales didn't move.

Next time you tell him about your loss or no loss give him your pre-written note of what it is you'd like him to say.
