    LOL at you for being honest, rather than telling her what she wanted to hear. Why do you think she brought it home? Because she's interested in your opinion, or because she likes it and wants you to tell her she made a good choice.

    This ladies, is why you have girl-friends. Go ask them. They'll tell you what you want to hear, and not get the silent treatment when you change your mind back.

    Since it's a no-win situation go for humour, tell her it makes her bum look big, but at least it detracts from her face.......Then learn to cook....

    :roll: Sooooo Dont ask a bloke for his opinion then! Lol. Its not being thick... its being honest.

    I have said loads of times - 'wear the little black number' fell on deaf ears!! So why ask? Not us who are going to have to wear it.

    Marry Me? (I'll just have to get a divorce first)

    I also ask the question to hubbie about clothing, even though he's always said he hasn't got a clue about what colours or styles suit him or anyone else (and doesn't care), but over the 13 years he's learnt to have an opinion. if he doesn't like the way something looks on me and I've asked his opinion I'm not in a mood with him. I just take said item back to shop. At the end of the day if I like the way something looks on me but he doesn't then it will put me off wearing it.

    Don't forget when you say you don't like an outfit that your wife is wearing to back it up with what puts you off it. Its always a good idea to have some compliments about her figure to pull out the bag to soften the blow.
