After four years of marriage I have simply learned not to ask how I look.
Neither answer will satisfy as I am fully aware that husband's answer is a
desperate attempt to gauge wriggle room and hence I won't believe either
reply, but become either resentful that he's patronizing me w/ BS or become
defensive because I actually thought I possibly looked good before asking him
his
opinion.

NOW you tell me!
This guy might have saved a marriage, or at least made it last a bit longer
before it wore out!
It took me at least FIVE YEARS to figure this out. GUYS: Am I really more
dense than the average male?
