Then if I really pushed him he would say "that other pair looks better on you" or something to that effect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1152080 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 03:30:27 +0000 erinpye 1152080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I know better than to ask that question! But when I was feeling insecure postpartum after DD 1, he was so kind and always reminded me how beautiful I was, and that my body had just made a human. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1152075 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 02:45:21 +0000 Grace 1152075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'd be honest, but he also knows that I would never ask unless I wanted the truth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1152004 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:37:11 +0000 IRunForFun 1152004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I too firmly believe there's a Friends reference for every life situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151980 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:09:27 +0000 MrsSCB 1151980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: @Mrs. Polish: I've watched way too much Friends in my life -- I feel like I can think of a reference for everything, haha. I'm just glad there are other people who understand :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151959 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 22:37:22 +0000 cyndistar3 1151959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never ever ask that because I know that even if it did he would never have the heart to tell me the truth. Besides I feel fat in everything so I don't go looking for confirmation lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151953 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 22:23:06 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1151953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: you're amazing for posting that. Friends ftw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151924 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 21:43:40 +0000 Espion 1151924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He tells me I don't, then he offers to take the baby if I want to workout, lol. To be fair, I'm pretty vocal about this extra 20 pounds. </p> <p>@MrsSCB: Ha! Now I want to see hug...and rolllllll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151882 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:52:54 +0000 photojane 1151882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't ask - I know the pants make me look fat. But, thankfully he loves me in all my chubby glory. Nowadays he just gets excited when the pants I'm wearing aren't for yoga. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151881 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:52:41 +0000 blackbird 1151881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll usually ask "does this/do I look ok" but it's more so a whole outfit look than just the pants or shirt. If I have to ask if I look fat in something, it's probably too small and I already know the answer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151871 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:46:01 +0000 Freckles 1151871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they do he'll say, "they arent the most FLATTERING pants..."</p> <p>But usually he'll say, "don't be stupid." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151861 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:39:11 +0000 Caly 1151861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He usually answers "which a ph baby!" Heh.<br /> Mine is completely honest, which while I may not always like the answer, I appreciate the honestly. Usually the answer is that something isn't flattering on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151838 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:27:06 +0000 rachiecakes 1151838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's pretty honest. He'll say they look kinda tight or clingy, meaning I look chunky. At least he's honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151828 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:19:55 +0000 MsLipGloss 1151828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Followed up with the *Do you understand the words that are comin outta my mouth?* (Again, a la Chris Tucker in Rush Hour) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151826 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:17:55 +0000 MsLipGloss 1151826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He would say YES! P-H-A-T (pretty hawt and tempting a la Chris Tucker in Rush Hour) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151804 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:03:15 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1151804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He would respond with some sarcastic statement..."yeahhhh you look huge" while rolling his eyes. Basically he got sick of me asking when he thinks I look good. </p> <p>I guess it works, I rarely make negative comments or questions about myself to him anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151772 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:41:38 +0000 MrsSCB 1151772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably like this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChEu7r7-kWw#t=36s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChEu7r7-kWw#t=36s</a></p> <p>ETA: Skip to 36 seconds for the good part :-)</p> <p>(Sorry, couldn't help myself haha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151751 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:25:37 +0000 wonderstruck 1151751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Yep, this is my husband exactly. And when I say, "Dude, you aren't even looking at me. Try again." Then he'd look at me and say the same exact thing, no matter what.</p> <p>I'm okay with it. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151712 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:03:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1151712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Fat makes you look fat, and you're not fat."</p> <p>If I want an honest answer I ask if what I'm wearing is flattering on me, and he'll give me an honest yes or no answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151702 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:53:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 1151702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has generally learned not to answer that question. </p> <p>@banana: Ugh DH does the same stupid joke. I'm hungry. Hi, Hungry, I'm Brian. It's so annoying! Yet he thinks it's sooooooooo funny.</p> <p>ETA: Lately he's started saying things like, yeah, that looks good, especially considering you had a baby two months ago. I'm like, seriously, you can stop with that looks good. Thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151693 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:45:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1151693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He usually grins and says, "rawr!"</p> <p>lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151683 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:34:42 +0000 shinymama 1151683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it did not: "Not at all" with a look that screams, "You're crazy."<br /> If it did: "I think you look better in __________." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151681 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:32:30 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1151681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I tell dh all the time that he's lucky he married me because no one else would think he's funny. :)</p> <p>I just never ask how something looks. If he likes it he'll say so, if he doesn't iI don't really care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151675 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:27:27 +0000 SweetiePie 1151675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: We have the same joke! But then he would be serious. If something isn't flattering on me, he'd tell me (solicited or not). Some women might think he's being a jerk. But I appreciate the honesty. Ultimately I make the decision myself, sometimes I just don't agree with him and think I look awesome :-) This just happened last week, he said a pair of pants I got weren't flattering because they draw attention to my problem area. But I still liked them, so I disregarded his comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151665 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:22:29 +0000 banana 1151665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Cute!! My DH and I have a running joke where I say "I'm hungry!" and he goes "Hi, Hungry!!" </p> <p>It gets old pretty fast though (...I'm tired...I'm sleepy....I'm cold....). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151655 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:18:08 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1151655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He would say "no, the fat makes you look fat." It's a joke though that we've always said to each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151635 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:12:47 +0000 Dapple Grey 1151635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband knows that any response to that question is entering in to dangerous territory ;)<br /> But when it comes to my fitness goals he can be pretty brutal though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151594 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:34:15 +0000 nana87 1151594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he'll usually say something like "you never look fat," which is sweet but not helpful, haha. I usually will ask if something looks too tight, or if it looks okay in general, since that gets a more useful response. though sometimes he'll say i look great without even looking at me, grrr ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151588 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:27:54 +0000 Penny Lane 1151588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he would laugh at me for asking, but he would give an honest answer too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-dh-respond-to-you-asking-do-these-pants-make-me-look-fat#post-1151583 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:24:37 +0000 IRunForFun 1151583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always says no, but I like to think if I did look fat - in clothes or out of them - he'd be honest. He will usually say that if I feel fat, I could exercise more, but that I don't look fat. </p>
