most times if u want to know a man"s spec look at the side chick not the wife cheesy.Most guys marry women they are not sexually attracted to then have side chicks they find sexually attractive.na very men dey marry women they have a physical attraction for.

That's the issue with some men. They are confused and yet they refuse to accept it. If they marry physical beauty, they need intellectual beauty to hold the fort when love fades, but without physical beauty, love will fade even faster. And since its hard to find a lady who possess both equally, then a man is always at a crossroad.

character is important no doubt but any man wey tell u say na only character he go live for is deceiving.Even if u marry woman dat is super submissve,obedient and they kneel down before she serve u food and yet u dont find her sexually attractive then u must cheat cheesy.the physical things wey ur submissve obedient wife no get u will now be going out to search for other women wey get the thing cheesy.i for suggest make op go for breast enlargement surgery since the thing worries her that much

The breast augmentation surgery has its disadvantages in this case since she's doing it cause hubby wants it and pointed it out. I don't subscribe to her doing it to please her husband though. If he's attracted to her body, then he may start objectifying her and soon she becomes just a piece of toto for him and men are quick to label women as such.

Anyhow, they will find a way around their problem. What did I leave there that I'm talking about it like this?

intellectual beauty as in she must be intelligent like albert einstein cheesy
me i am not obsessed about intellectual intelligence cheesy
as long as she"s not an slowpoke and looks good on the eye plus gives me peace of mind i am good to go cheesy
And talking of men who want intellectual beauty u cant just have it all like that
u can have a little of this one and a little of that.A man who says he wants a woman as intelligent as Albert Einstein and super beautiful is a man who is not realistic cheesy.

Why can't you see the underlining meaning behind the man's words?

"If only your breasts were bigger" is not a joke. That's the comment of a man wishing for something he can't have with his wife. He wishes it were bigger which means he may likely push for wife to get breast argumentation surgery or look for someone with bigger breasts to fulfill his wishes.

Now if he had said something like "see your small breasts like agabalumo" it sounds so much different from his initial comment. This one passes off as a joke and she can yab him back.

The way we word things clues in on our innermost desires. That man has seen a lady like his wife with bigger breasts and he wants it. His apology is just a cover-up.
what would you have had him done? He has apologized, said it was a joke. Why is she still not talking to him? Sometimes in life we don't always get what we want that doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. He might be a fan of big brest, there's nothing wrong in that but he finds solace in his present wife. Before you know it's little things like this that escalate into bigger problems if you can't settle small issues like this.

My husband (30m) and I (26f) have been married for two years. I try to stay relatively healthy and in good shape while he is quite overweight. Today he said to me while I was getting in the shower “wow that’s a perfect body, if only your t*ts were bigger”. I got quiet and he immediately said he was joking. I’m pretty confident in my body but I’m failing to find the humor in this statement. I walked into the bathroom and he followed me in, I asked him to give me some space and he left but came back two minutes later. I asked him once again to please give me space and he got mad at me and stomped off because he just wants to spend time with me and I am being ridiculous. He says I was overreacting to a joke and he is sorry I didn’t find it funny but he stands by the statement.

I’m not sure if he has resentment toward me because I am healthier or what the deal is, but I have been cold to him for a couple of hours. Am I overreacting?





Babe, you should learn to develop a thick skin. It is not everything that you should take to heart. Your husband was clearly joking about that. You need not take offense, but you can tell him that the line of joke is not in order

ITbomb:
You should be lucky you have a husband that is polite enough to diplomatically tells you what he wants.

Most marriage crumpled because the couple finds it difficult to express themselves.

Be ready to accept criticism and work on it. Especially in areas of food, body, dress, mouth odor, expression. Encourage your hubby to be watching out for you, instead of giving him attitude

Don't get that mentality of "you saw me like that when you married me". Most time, partners get married for 70% good qualities, expecting the other 30% qualities to be worked on (or endured)

Nobody was ever a 100%
I keep telling my ex this but she refused to listen because of her asymmetric breast

I wish your preek was longer and fatter.

How does this statement sound to you coming from your wife of 2 years?

A bit mean, but he didn't compare her boobs to her mother, he only said wish your boobs had been bigger, not i wish your boobs were larger than your mom. Still a joke

He would have received a slap right there and then if he hard compared mother and child in terms of breasts.

Anyway, you still didn't answer my question. "I wish your preek was longer" how does it sound to you?

Girls with lime breast are always like that. Very wicked and unforgiving. It’s in their genetics.

My dear, you're not overreacting. Youre on point. Next time, he'll learn how to bridle his tongue. Hes prolly seen a bigger tits out there and wishes (like he rightly told you) you have it.

Don't let him manipulate you. He meant it and out of the abundance of his heart he has spoken. But because he's seen you don't find it funny, he's tryna twist the whole thing on you. To think he's the one with the not so great body but you never complained and he has the guts to bodyshame you. Men are always like that.

Just give him the warning of his life never to body -shame you again. Then let it slide.

here is one bitter feminist,i guess u just need a man to bang u properly, so u will have a rethink about men..

have noticed how u are always bitter towards men, i just hope it ends online, cos u will only end up not ever having any man in ur life, if u take this perception offline, cos u will always find fault in every man..change ur ways madam, there are lot of good men out there , free ur mind from hate of the male gender..

He's insecure. Next time he talks bad about your body, tell him that his dick is small.

This sounds like a reddit story.

Why Are U Taking D Issue So Serious? Something He Would Still Come 4 When He Is Hot. If He Makes Joke With Ur T*ts, Make A Joke With His D*ck Too. Tell Him Dat His D*ck Small Oo, If He Gets Angry Tell Him U Were Only Joking Too. Don't Let Dat Bring Misunderstand Btw Both Of U.

Lol my hubby calls me big headgrin
Ion mind. I do have a bit of a big head n I have big hair which makes it look biggergrin
You are what you are n U should be able to tease n play with each other in a relationship.

The op ..your hubby wishes U had bigger boobs there's nothing wrong with that it dnt mean he dnt love you.
As long as he's not nasty bout it.
Just let him know the comment made U feel insecure or self conscious or whatever it made U feel n forget bout it.
No need to stay cranky towards him that won't make things better in Ur marraige
