    Sometimes there are things that are just jokes between couples. My husband calls me “dumpy butt” when I wear sweatpants, and it’s funny to me - I actually came up with the term, haha! Most people would be like “why do you let him say that?” but sometimes things are just what they are between couples and it’s not harmful. I can’t say the same for these two, but just trying to illustrate that things that appear a certain way outwardly may not at all the the way it is between a couple.

      I don’t know - that’s cute and all, but words can be so harmful. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. I might be slightly jaded because I come from a long line of, shall we just say, “heavy-set” people, so we’ve heard it all during our lifetimes and hurt feelings are the result.
