On S&R, there's one of the usual polls about virgins and waiting for marriage and whatnot, and a woman on there said that her husband told her that he wishes he'd slept with other women, and this makes her feel bad. I absolutely think this is an assh*le thing to say, and completely inappropriate to say to your SO even if it is how you feel. But it got me thinking: what things have your husbands said to you that they should have probably told a platonic friend instead?
I'm totally okay going first. Mr. Kuus was on a roll for a while there of saying things like "I wonder if I'd have made fewer rookie mistakes with us if I'd dated around more beforehand", which was fine. Then it progressed to "I wish I'd gotten the confidence that dating more probably would have given me," which was ehh but still okay. But predictably, like a serial killer, he escalated it until one day it we were looking through his yearbook (I had been using it as a sort of lap desk) and he pointed out a picture of a girl and said that he had asked her out and she said no, and then the following year she asked him out and he said no, and he wishes he would have said yes because it probably would have been a first domino to things going differently. This is where I lost my sh*t and yelled at him to make some f*cking friends already, because our house is not a damn locker room.
