PART of being married means learning how to navigate tricky situations and difficult conversations.
Sometimes you may think you’re saying the right thing to your spouse, but it turns out to be the exact opposite of what they want to hear.
One confused husband said he was in the doghouse after saying what he thought was a helpful comment to his wife.
Posting to Reddit, he began by expressing his love for his spouse: “We’ve been married for three years and there’s nothing I would change about her…”
There is one thing, though: “Except that she’s really insecure about her nose and that she gets aggressive over it when I try to comfort her.”
The husband said that since he’s known her, she has always expressed her hatred over her nose.
“[She] mentions it every day, and when I would try to comfort her and tell her it’s beautiful and she doesn’t have to change anything, she would get aggressive and yell that I’m a liar.”
He explained that a few weeks ago, after his wife received a pay increase at work, she raised the idea of getting a nose job.

His response to her proposal, however well-intentioned, set the woman off.
“I said that if she’s that insecure about it to the point that it’s affecting her mental health, then she should get it done.
“She got extremely upset over this and said that I should’ve said no to the idea.”
The woman angrily left their home to stay with her mother and has been ignoring the husband’s attempts to reach out.
Although he couldn’t help but wonder if he was the bad guy in this situation, most Reddit users took his side:
“Literally he can’t win in this situation. I’d just start ignoring the wife’s comments about her nose at this point,” one commenter suggested.
“Or confront her: ‘What am I supposed to say? If I compliment your nose, it's wrong. If I suggest a nose job, it's wrong as well—and I hate to see you suffer,’” added another.
A third person pointed out that it wasn’t even his idea: “And he actually didn’t suggest a nose job. His wife did!”
And finally, another commenter called it like it is: “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”
