How does your boyfriend react in situations like that?

As much as I enjoy a nukeularned post, I must mention that this probably belongs in love & relationships. I see it fitting in right between the thread from the poster who will stop self pleasing until he gets a girl and the poster who wants to know if white chicks don't dig asian dudes as a general rule. The title should have the word hung in it... "My junk is better hung than my wife's"

The whole idea of lying now and fixing it later is not so bright either.

Maybe you need to work on your "blunt honest truth". No reason you could not have been honest about it without offending her.

You've never been married have you?

Not saying you did wrong. I personally don't lie about even the little things to try to not hurt feelings. I'm horribly blunt and honest. She'll ask "how does this look" and my response will be "I don't give a crap".

Better answer?

Her: "how does it look?"
You: "Honey, I know you worked hard at this and it's an exciting project. Both of them look kind of off-center, and I think we can do this together."
Her: "oh I love you!"

I think you need to drill some more on your instant responses:

"Does this make me look f-" "No."

"Did I do a good jo-" "Absolutely!"

"Do you think she's attracti-" "Oh hell no!"

As you have already observed, speed is essential if you want to keep your ass out of the fire.

Unfortunately, less than 1% of men think like that, let alone think like that on their feet.

See, there ya go.

If I fixed it after telling her it was fine and she noticed that I fixed it, I'd never hear the end of "why didn't you just say so".

Fixed

Real scenario:

Her: "How does this look?"
You: "Thanks for hanging them up. I think they might be slightly off center, but it's not a big deal."

Then you forget about it since it isn't a big deal at all, and if she is embarrassed she will fix them. If not, they will be crooked, but who gives a shit?

Yes, I am married, and no, I don't make her re-do everything she does to fit my standards. If she vacuums and misses a spot, I don't say "you missed this spot over here." I let the stupid spot stay dirty and continue with my life because it is way too petty to even mention.
