LIN - my issue stems from XH saying I dress too sexy for work. It didn't matter WHAT I wore.....for instance, button up shirt and slacks - too sexy. Skirt & sweater - too sexy.
So when he said that, it struck a nerve. A very raw nerve. I am not overexposed in the least. I dress pretty conservatively, but I knew I was going on a "date" so I stepped it up a notch (skirt vs slacks)...
As far as compliments - who doesn't love them? I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because he is young LOL and doesn't seem to understand us yet (who does! ) but he could have said "you look nice, good, etc." instead of "do you always dress this sexy at work?"
See what I mean?
