The Art of Dress Diplomacy: Relationship Tips

“Does this dress make me look fat?“

You’ve got three options when faced with the dreaded question. Let’s see how they stack up scientifically.

Option 1: “Yes”: Sure, honesty might sting like a paper cut on your soul, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s like ripping off a Band-Aid – painful at first, but better in the long run. Your wife might give you the stink eye now, but deep down, she’ll appreciate your honesty and know who to turn to when she needs the real deal.

I hear my wife laughing as I type this. My wife says: “thinks the naive husband”

So, embrace the discomfort, my dear friend, because trust me, it’s worth it in the end.

“if he wants to sleep all cold and curled up in a ball at night” says my wife

Option 2: “No”: Ah, the classic white lie!

my wife quips “more like rosy lies, like wine on a warm spring day”

It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound– it might cover it up temporarily, but eventually, the truth will come crashing through like a wrecking ball

My wife is rolling over the floor laughing and says “is that what you think of me? a wrecking ball…huge enough to crush you”

Sure, you might dodge a few bullets now ,but each lie chips away at the foundation of trust until it’s nothing but rubble.

my wife rolls her eyes and says “oh now he thinks he is the matrix”

So, save yourself the headache and opt for the hard truth instead of digging yourself into a hole of skepticism.

Option 3: Say Nothing: Ah, the silent treatment. It’s like playing a game of charades with your emotions – except nobody wins, and the only prize is a cold shoulder.

“like the one you will be having tonight” says my wife

Sure, you might avoid confrontation in the short term, but silence breeds resentment faster than mold on old bread.

“Speaking of which, we need to restock on bread.” Reminds my wife

So, speak up, my friend, because in the game of relationships, communication is the MVP.

my wife sarcastically adds, “says the man typing away and replying with hmms”

There’s no easy way out of this minefield. Whether you choose honesty, diplomacy, or silence, just know that you’re in for a wild ride.

This was a tough post to write. Hope you guys appreciate my effort and me sacrificing my spot on the bed tonight to write this.
