I am so angry! I have just returned from visiting my sister(we are very close) she lives a few miles away and I see her often. Today my husband is working in the garden, so I took the oportunity to go and see her.All was well and we had a nice lunch. Her husband was at a football match with my nephew. I did get the feeling something was annoying her and she was 'picking' at her lunch. When I arrived back home I called her to say thanks for the lunch.I took the chance to ask her if she was ok. (I would have asked her at the time but my young niece was there and it wasn't appropriate) She was nearly crying.she said her husband had scolded her for eating a cake from the fridge last night and said 'How do you expect to loose weight if you are eating cakes' He also said xxxx will be at the work function next month. She challenged him about why he brought this up and he said because I know she riles you! and that may give you the motovation to get on with it and stop eating cakes!and you will feel better! Apparently xxxx is an attractive office flirt! who did say something *****y out of jelousy to my sister at an office function! My sister has a great figure and is lovely looking and looks after herself.She is about 10lbs over her usual but she carries it well! I think I am too close to this to give her advice because this is a sensitive area for most women. Perhaps he was only trying to help her. I am not sure I would like this approach though!!He is usually a good husband,I get on with him,but this has annoyed me only because my sister is upset!.....Any thoughts?

Apologies,meant to start this in a new thread.I will work this out yet Anyway, cograts to the ladies with the new babies.Lovely news!
I think sometimes men mean well, and try to help, but they dont say the right things or in the right way. Has she been talking about losing weight, or was it something he took upon himself to bring up?
Ok us men, we are stupid, we don't have a function which allows us to think before we speak. If he is normally a nice guy he probably said it out of jest or with good intention. Even if he didn't mean to upset her though she still needs to tell him it did so next time he keeps his mouth shut and encourages her instead.
Thanks everyone. My sister called to say all was forgiven,she is now ok.Infact her new diet regime has started.All that needs to happen now is I start talking to my husband again ,having asked him if he thought I had put weight on recently!! (Well we were on the subject) His answer.........Not really!!!........ If you look to the sky and see someone, it will be him on his broomstick............ MEN!!
