Men just don't understand female hormones or they'd be far more afraid to speak.
Today, Travis said, "you're going to need to get some new clothes soon. You look ridiculous."
WTF? I took time to blow dry my hair and fix it. I'm wearing jeans instead of my usual jogging pants and the shirt I'm wearing isn't one of his hated hooded sweatshirts. Give a girl some credit, @$&%er!
I looked at him and said, "I look ridiculous?!" I'm pretty sure there were daggers coming out of my eyes too.
He explained, with far less remorse for the confusion than he should have, that he meant my clothes are just too big now. I have "no shape", to use his words, which were also fighting words in my opinion.
The man just is too much of a straight shooter--too blunt--for his own good, which I've come to realize that Testosterone is to blame. Most men have no idea that they could avoid so many arguments and misunderstandings if they'd just soften their words a little. They're not trying to be mean (Travis would never intentionally say anything to hurt my feelings. I KNOW this.), there's just no warning bell that goes off in their brains before potentially bad words pass their lips.
I've had cramps for three weeks and now have a light period. The man could get himself wounded throwing around things like, "you look ridiculous" and "you have no shape." Foolish penis-bearer.
LMAO! Men, they will never learn. See I'm thinking it would be great to hear.....you need to go shopping and get new close because you too skinny for your old ones and you look ridiculous! But, not on a PMSing day:)
ReplyDeleteNormally, I can decifer what exactly he meant. I'm sort of a Travis-to-English translator. And I'm usually able to know when my reaction is hormone based and let it go, but THREE. WEEKS. OF. CRAMPS! My control is a little off.
