Weird comments, and how to respond!

You know what I mean. You run into someone you haven't seen for some time, and they remark on your weight loss, but in a weird way and you're not sure how to take it. I ran into another mom I know from my sons school (as in not a close friend or anything remotely like that) and she noticed the weight loss, asked what I was doing etc. And then she says "oh your husband must love it!"

What?? What do I say to that? That was weird. Like "nah, he likes his ladies large" or "yeah he was packing his bags before I lost the weight". Awkward!!

    My reply would have been something along the lines of..."He's kind of struggling now, he is a chubby chaser!" In all seriousness, where do people come up with this stuff? "Your husband must love it

  • Invite yourself over to her house and wear your cutest, tightest outfit. Let's see if HER husband loves it. Btw, what an ass she is.

Am dying laughing here.

What un-self-aware imbeciles.

That's a social version of Tourette Syndrome.

Shaking my head!

These are the sorts of things that do not require any sort of response. Just heap a healthy side eye and general snarky disdain.

I can't stop laughing because I have run into awkward questions like that. I am extremely sarcastic so usually without hesitation I would say something off the wall and not expected which I love their reaction to it.

"Actually he's always loved me....Now, what lets talk about YOUR body (or marriage)!"
