Insulting Comments or Teasing

(1/5) > >>

Maybe I am overly sensitive, but my SS's girlfriend has now on several occasions teasingly told my DH that his clothes are not good and need to be updated.  For example, his wrangler's are too tight (he wears levys), his shirts need more color and he just needs to be more modern and no black jeans.   I find the comments to be very insulting and hurtful to me since I do all of his shopping.

My DH is close to 50 years old, he does not shop, so I buy all of his clothes and when he does not care for something I pick out, I return it.  He has on many occasions told me, I will not wear that so I have gotten pretty good at knowing his taste and I think dresses and looks very nice.  He generally wears levy jeans and solid color shirts (no pastels or loud colors).  Yes, it is simple, but simple works for him and I have heard other ladies say he is an attractive man, so I would think his clothes are not too far out.

I know the 20 year olds wear different clothes and have the more modern styles but I find the teasing to be hurtful and insulting.  It does not bother my DH so am I out of line?

Lisbeth:
If it doesn't bother him, I wouldn't let it bother you.  Just say "Uh huh" in response.

NOVA Lady:
I buy all my SO's clothes as well and I would just brush it off. I am only 23 but the way some teenagers and even pre teens dress now adays makes me not want to look "cool" and "modern"

I saw a few girls at the mall the other day wearing skirts so short you could see their underwear (and not at the top of the skirt, at the bottom) and bras for tops with some sort of mesh see through netting for a "cover up" and I know for sure that I don't want to be cool and modern in that way!

I like to hide my private bits a little more!

I would say something along the lines of "Oh!  You're willing to buy him all new clothes?!"  When she guffaws, say "Oh, I didn't think so!"

of course you might run the risk of having her say "Sure lets go shopping!"  :D

IndianInlaw:
Who cares what she thinks?  She's a rude little twerp.

Just because his clothes are not to her liking doesn't mean they're bad.

Just roll your eyes and say "whatever". :P
