You handled yourself FABULOUS!!!!! I did that many times too. I lost 40 pounds on that rotten MLC diet and I looked better than I had in years. My h did the same thing. He looked and then didn't look again. That is so funny.
See it did you good to laugh with him and not be clingy or sad when he was there. Give it time.
BTW, we could put the top down on the mustang and go for a really fasssssssssttttt ride with me behind the wheel!!!
