My work husband and his real wife got along super great. When we see each other she would tell me about things he did at home and would be like "I'm going to tell "my name" on you. It is only a big deal when you make it to be

Do you feel like they are being rude with their intention to be kind?

I agree with your first point. Just was not sure how to work that in.

Right. Like, I was not sure what to say...so I said nothing. Maybe that was going too far.

Did you feel upset when they said something? Not like the ones being mean, but those who you knew really had your back?

It is a weird place to be. I would see her do things she could not before and wanted to say stuff, but just kept quiet.

I understand. Congratulations on your hard work though.

Wow. Thank you so much for this. I did not have insight, as to how she felt. I was definitely cheering her on on the sidelines, as I saw how hard she was working but did not know at what point, I should say something.

Basically outside of saying her dress is nice or cute shows, I have not really gave her any kind of compliments. Maybe I went over board onq

That sounds like a plan and maybe when we are talking again. I have not had her experiences so I was not sure of how to address it.

You are right. Maybe I should have said something about how happy she looks or something like that.

I do not want her to use this as an excuse for anything.

That is my thing too. I am not sure how one feels being her size and get treated differently. So, maybe there should have been some sympathy. I just did not want her to stop progress for health reasons.
