Crude Husband--or Am I Just Overreacting?

So yesterday was our dog's birthday and mine is in a couple of days. We had hotdogs for dinner. My girls wanted to give something to the dog, Sadie, for her birthday, so they gave her the last 2 weiners leftover from dinner. Hours later, husbnad and I were going to bed, and he says, "You and Sadie have a lot in common." I asked, "What do you mean?" He says, "You'll both be getting weiners for your birthday." Seriously? I'm married to a 12-year-old. I'm no prude, but really...

What can I do next?

Oh he was just kidding! He said it only to you in private. If he had said it in front of the kids or company...then I think you would have something to complain about.

Let's face it...men are 12 year old boys when it comes to sex...even when they are married and 80 yrs old! ;)

answers from Charlotte on

His mind is on his weiner, CL. That's why he said it. When you go to bed and you're still pissed about it, he'll learn that comparing his to a hot dog doesn't work the way he had hoped, and that will let him know that his joke fell flaccid. (Oops, flat!)

Sorry, couldn't help that!

Where's your sense of humor. I chuckled. If this upsets you, I do suggest that you're over reacting. He said it in the privacy of your own home. What's the problem?

Well, call me a 12 year old boy, but I thought it was funny! We are a family of sarcastic jokesters, though, so something like this wouldn't get me steamed.

Just be happy that you have a playful, funny man. You could always have the opposite.

oh my gosh that is so funny! My husband tells jokes similar to that multiple times a day. He has a doctorate degree and a couple other degrees and he tells these jokes. You should hear when he gets together with his friends, they still laugh about farts! I think most men are like this. If this is the first joke he has told like this, I think you are doing pretty well!

I love it...thanks for the laugh! I was on the phone with my Sis....& she was laughing as hard as I was!

I have a very smartmouth. I would not have taken it ....excuse me.....lying down! I would have said, "are you saying I'm a B*tch?". How would he have wiggled out of that one? LOL!

Yes, he was immature...but also very funny. & sometimes immaturity can occur before you even think.

My Sis was harrassing my husband ...typical exchange between them. (We've been married 30+ years, so my Sis is considered his 2nd wife.) She was telling him an off-color joke & grabbed his "baboon boobs" as she calls them. He jumped backwards in shock, looked around, & then lightly grabbed mine - just like the gma in the movie "16 Candles".

Anyway, as we all 3 backed up....laughing hysterically...we realized our adult niece was right there! Her mouth was dropped open, & then she said, "nice. Nice way to burn that image into my retinas. When are you 3 going to grow up?" LOL.

Normally, he would have been verbally decked over an action such as this - by all parties involved. In fact, it's probably the 1st time he's ever done this in front of others! But it was done innocently, it was funnier than Heck, & no harm - no foul. :)

& I can't believe I just shared that ridiculous story!

Sorry, but I'm a brat.
I would have said, "That's what YOU think. Sadie is the only one who wants that on her birthday".

I'm sure he was just joking, although I do know what you mean. Not the most romantic thing to say to you.
I have a sarcastic sense of humor though and I would have zinged him with something.

Just my opinion.

Grant it...it's not what you want to hear on your birthday...and on any other day you might have thought it was funny. But he didn't say on any other day! Don't let it drive you crazy...he was just hoping that he might get you naked. Hey at least he still interested in getting your naked...there is a good thing there!

I agree with some of the other moms, some men revert to their teenage selves when it comes to sex. Just laugh it off. He wasn't being mean, he was trying to be funny.

I was cooking pork one time and the cut of meat was really thick, I was aggrivated because it was taking forever to cook. So I said I don't even like any meat this thick. My husband just eyed me. I was like REALLY?!?! It was funny though and I laughed. It's the only time I think he's made a "comment" like that really. At least one that I remember.

If he's like a 12 year old all the time I'd have an issue. Every now and then I like seeing the kid in him though!

sounds like my husband. If this were an isolated thing I'd probably laugh it off however as my husband acts like this all of the time it's not funny to me anymore and it's just annoying. Like you, I'm not a prude, I'd just like to know that my husband has the mental capacity of the 35 year old he is.
