There are many reasons why I love this guy. None of them are in this post
January 4, 2008Him: Hey, you know what?
Me: What?
Him: You are starting to look hot again.
Me: Excuse me?
Him: I mean, you looked good while you were pregnant but the last few weeks have been kind of iffy. You are getting it back, though.
Me: *stony silence*
Him: That was the wrong thing to say, wasn’t it?
********************
Him: (after watching the baby for a whole three hours so that I could get some shopping done): Wow, she hasn’t slept at all. She’s cried nearly the whole time. I haven’t been able to put her down at all or anything. I couldn’t get a thing done. It was crazy!
Me: Welcome to my every day, pal.
Him: She’s not like that every day!
Me: *blink, blink*
Him: I’m so glad it’s not me staying home.
*******************
Him (after pondering my exhausted, half-naked self, which has collapsed on the couch following a six-week growth-spurt-inspired feeding marathon in which the baby fed nearly non-stop for eight hours straight): I don’t know why you never sat around the house topless for me.
Me: Are you kidding me?
Him: All I’m saying is that I should be afforded equal boob access.

Aren’t husbands great? They always know the right thing to say.

Caring for and feeding a baby is extremely taxing - a condition ripe for amplifying even the most minor infraction. However, commenting on a postpartum woman’s body is never a minor infraction. Never.
Very funny post (and title)!

Wow, you’ve got quite a gem there.

It’s like that scene from “knocked up” where the boss is saying “tighten up” and really means “loose 10 pounds”. Wish there were marriage vows that were as good as employment laws…

Despite the danger, I have to step in now…
What’s wrong with the truth? I mean… I like my wife’s boobs - can’t I get a look at them like that?
At least AF is being open and honest about his feelings, right?

Ouch. Just…ouch.
