| I would just say..."It's cute that you're so in love with your husband" and leave it there. |
Totally. Me and the dads at the pool check out the teen girls at the pool and comment who is hot. It's funny. |
I guess my friends all had ugly dads. |
| But it's not cute and I dont feel that its cute. The people who do this are always trying to one up. I prefer "that's good you think so". I have zero feelings about it other than that it's annoying. |
PP. Oh to me the "cute" is the faintest hint of praise that they are fishing for. I don't mind tossing them a tiny saccharine compliment as long as I'm not commenting on hubby's appearance. |

There's no good response to this. I can't even think of anything. I guess I'd probably just smile and nod.
I think it's a way for her to brag. She's probably the type who will never admit to having normal couple problems. And if they do, they just have hot sex and the problem is solved! |
Sounds like you need to lighten up. My best friend's husband lost a ton of weight and got in really good shape, now she talks about how much hotter he is, and I agree with her! He looks great. You can say these things in a friendly way that's not drooling over them in a bathing suit. |
I was just thinking similar thing! Who keeps giving this staring advice to handle people? |
| I would say something like “ aww that’s sweet”. agree it is so weird when you are married |
| “I’m sure he appreciates that you think so.” |
Yep, my response would be "You should tell him often!" |
| Good for her! Appreciating your spouse doesn’t have to stop when you are married for 364 days or something. |
One is cringe and one is pedo. Know the line. |
| What makes you so sure she wasn’t testing the waters? I’m not trolling. We went away for the weekend with the LAST couple we’d ever peg (no pun intended) as being into that lifestyle and on the second night after kids were asleep, drinking wine by the fire pit, the wife suggested she and I “swap beds” for the night. Would have been way less awkward if she’d led with a “my husband is so hot” (spoiler alert, he is not). |

This! Why give her any other satisfaction? Just make her feel stupid. |
