So far out in left field I got lost
My wonderful hubby just told me that I look rough
Well I love you too baby! Gee what does he expect since I just went through surgery this past Thursday all glamour? Lord I know he didn't mean it the way it sounded but sure didn't help me to feel better either.

Its hard not to take it personal. Just remember he is trying to let you know he knows your not feeling well. He is trying to sympathize. He is trying to show compassion. They just can never get the words right.
Its like when we ask them, " Is my butt to big in these pants?" Most times either way they answer they're going to be in trouble!

I hope you start feeling better.

Men ! Can't live with them, can't live without them (well, maybe the second part was an overstatement !)

I agree:-). He is trying to let you know - albeit rather clumsily - that he knows you have had a rough time, and that even though it didn't seem very supportive, he was treating you with the male version of sympathy. I hope you feel better soon and can tease him, in a loving way, for his 'very male' response.

My motto is "Men can't live with them can't kill them

Bless his heart I know he didn't mean it the way it sounded but wasn't what I needed to hear first thing in the morning and feeling rotten to boot too.
