My amphibious Prince (toad)

Last night, under the influence of more wine than was prudent, I told my dh I felt "defective" which was/is true... His unfiltered response (we were sharing the wine) was "well, get over it". OUCH... or good advice, who knows but wow... I'm still sort of speechless. Dontcha gotta love 'em.

Unless your DH is an unusual kind of guy, that part of the species really doesn't like to talk about stuff like that. It doesn't mean they don't care. They just don't see themselves as part of the Oprah/Dr. Phil universe. I could see myself saying the same thing and then not liking the response. But what would be a realistic guy response? We would like them to say that they love us just the way we are and they love us more than ever, but they just don't like to have to talk things out.

Please don't feel defective. You are a princess in great company!!!!

Absolutely! Every time I try to discuss anything at all about my upcoming tests or surgery, my bf doesn't want to hear anything about it. I truly believe that they are totally clueless about the female anatomy (he has already said as much) and have NO desire to learn! As long as everything still functions they don't care!

I agree with Tarapeach. My thoughts exactly.
