Insensitive Remark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jun 23, 2009
Alright, now that I am pretty much over it, I need to blog about something that happened to me Saturday. Well to start off, I have been dealing with extra (saggy) skin as a result of my 110 lb weight loss and I've become really sensitive about it. I even went and bought a big bottle of skin tightening cream for my "trouble" areas (upper arms, inner thighs, butt cheeks, and stomach). So, as I am rubbing this tightening lotion on my lower body, my husband had the "bright" idea of saying "dang, look at those saddlebags" OMG!!!!!! I was so furious, upset, and mostly HURT! I just gave him "the look" and really didn't say a whole lot. I kinda laughed it off so I guess he thought I was ok with it. Well, in reality, it bothered me ALL day! Later that night, after having a couple of glasses of wine, I was sitting up in bed kind of just spacing out, lost in thought. He asked me what was wrong a couple of times and I said nothing. Finally, I just bursted out in tears and told him that what he said really hurt me, that he knew how sensitive i've gotten about my saggy skin (hell everyone who knows me personally knows how much it's been bothering me), and I just cried and spoke my mind until I fell asleep. He said he was sorry and was joking about it. I can take a joke but that was really hard for me!! Men can be so insensitive and say mean and hurtful things, without even trying. I know he didn't mean to hurt me, but he did. Men, if you are reading this, PLEASE try and THINK before you open your mouth and insert foot! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not man bashing, I'm just saying, you might not know how much you are hurting a woman by certain things you say. OK that's it!! Thanks for reading my thoughts. xoxo
