Last night my husband Gordon & I were at dinner @Superior Steak House celebrating his birthday, (we both were "dressed up"). An old friend that we had not seen in a couple of years came by totally disregarding me and angrily told Gordon "Man, I didn't think you were the type to dump a perfectly good woman for this "younger cupcake" I really thought you & Linda were soul mates" He then looked at me and began to tell me how "wonderful" Gordon's Linda was , so I said thank you and told him next month we will be celebrating 31 years together and that's when he realized it was me! After the usual OMG you look fantastic, he left & Gordon and I continued our dinner but I do believe Gordon's smile was a little bit bigger I know mine was. I look in the mirror and am just now (11mths out Sleeve) seeing the new slimmer me that everyone around me has seen for months.

I'm assuming you're Linda, and your husband is Gordon? Because if not, your story takes on an entirely different message.

That is an awesome story that you have made such a transformation that someone mistook you for "the other woman". Made you feel good I'm sure and made your "friend" feel a little bit like an A**

That is both hilarious and awesome all at once!!! Congrats on your success!

LOL! Now your a trophy wife. Hey hottie!

How awesome is that...not only that he did not recognize you because you look so different, but the compliments of what a wonderful woman/wife YOU are....that just made my day, so I know it made your night!

Congrats on your success!

LOL That must have felt so wonderful! I'm sure your hubby would have been beeming with pride! Congrats on your success!

Wow - that's the best NSV ever!

Simply Awesome!

Well your hubby ought to be ashamed too, for robbing the cradle and marrying a woman only half his age

I have a similar story only the person spotted us in public and confronted my wife on the phone at a later date, she congratulated her on dumping that "old fatty" and hooking up with someone younger and slimmer. The wife kept her cool and even laughed but made a mental note to never call that "friend" again

Congrats on the success!

Hahaahahahaha! That rocks!

Your story literally made me tear up

I have thought about situations like this, where we could run into people that we only see occasionally and they could think my hubby was with another woman ( we have been married 29 years). I actually truly hope it WILL happen to us one day. I am sure both you and your husband felt so proud of your accomplishment! That is awesome !

Awesome story!

You have made a huge change for someone not to notice you at all!

And you must be an amazing woman for a man to walk up to another man and tell him what he thought of his wife when he thought he was with another woman!

Congratulations! Keep up the GREAT work!

That is hilarious!!! That guy had to be so embarassed, but I think it's so sweet that he was "sticking up" for you when he thought your husband with with a younger woman.

This is one of the best NSVs I've read in ages! Thanks for sharing!

Man Gordon got game! Guys this is a great teaching moment here ... See how Gordon worked this out with his buddie in advance and got him to say all that sweet jazz. Now Gordy is in nookieville and were still on sleevetalk chit chattin!

Just kidding, nice story!!
