Subject: RE: Open mouth, insert foot! There's saying the wrong thing and then there's silence at the wrong moment: Two days ago my SO showed me a picture of her and the kids at the pool a friend had taken, she was not happy with the way she looked: SO: "This picture is awful, I'm not that big am I?" Me: ".......(Silent Pause).........." SO: "well that says it all!!" yup I got my timing all wrong there and was caught off guard completely. The thing is, she isn't big, and I can truthfully tell her she looks great, I just missed the ball on this occasion. |
