Have you ever made comments that to you may have seemed like teasing to you but hurtful to her?
Not at all. At least not that I can remember.
I wouldn't because I'm reasonably sensitive about stuff like that myself. I broke my arm and wrist a few years ago - a pretty bad break according to the docs, and apparently I was lucky to get full use of my wrist/hand back - which meant I couldn't go for a surf, I couldn't ride my bike, I couldn't play footie, etc, etc, for nearly a year.
Man, did I ever put on weight.
I pretty much lost it all again when I was able to get back out and get active all over again, but I can identify with the self-consciousness. Maybe not as much as a woman can, but hey ho.
Now, my wife was tall and super-slim when we met, and yes, she's not *exactly* how she was, but she's still slim, she's still tall at 5'10", and she's still gorgeous.
Only now she has a little more curve about her, which I find sexier than ever. Hmm...now how can I put *that* into words she'll respond positively to?
Yeah, I do realise I still need to tell her about the rejection issues, but I need a different way of doing it than that last letter!!
