THE DAILY POST: AWKWARD

Should he tell her?

How to tell her?

It might more harm than help.

On the other hand, if he leaves it unsaid and someone else mentions it…

What a fix.

There can be no winner in this situation.

He can’t let it go on like this.

Honesty is the best policy.

‘Darling, I’m not sure that dress is the right fit any longer.’

The awkward silence is deafening.

The stare is deadly.

        Really. It’s like that really deadly question our wives test us with: “Does this dress make my butt look fat?”

        Best just to find an excuse to leave the room without answering that one!

    In that situation, better to say something. At least, I would want the head’s up. I wouldn’t want to hear it, but I’d want the head’s up.

      Right? Better to be honest and avoid others thinking the same.

    Awkward indeed. Some truths are best left unsaid.

    But really the one facing the criticism from someone they love should be grateful.

    And there was I thinking she’d come back from the loo, skirt tucked into knickers. It is always better to know. Really, she might have stared silently, but that’s probably because she was thinking, ‘Why now?,’ like he should have told her before she got too big for it. And maybe a better approach would have bene to suggest the washing machine shrank it.
