Im Shocked

I disagree with the previous poster in that I don't think your husband is ENTITLED to make an ugly remark about anyone else, regardless of his circumstances. I do agree, however, that he was probably just saying the thing he thought that anyone else would say, and it may have been out of some frustration regarding his sister. I do not think his remark was malicious in nature though, and definitely not directed towards you, so I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I think your response was sufficient to bring the insensitivity of his remark to his attention and it's doubtful he would say something like that in front of you again.

I'm the worst (or the best) about mean remarks. I always think about how things make other people feel, but.........

I wouldn't make a big deal about this. He sounds like a sensitive guy. She couldn't hear him! He was alone with you. Keep that a safe place. He may have some frustration towards his sister. He loves her and worries about her, but I'm sure he would also like her to take control of her own health and happiness. The blanket remark was probably a way to voice that frustration. In my opinion he is entitled.

Yeah, let it go. No malice there I thought. We take our husbands' remarks more seriously than we should and cause everyone more pain than they deserve. I've been there. Let it go.

He didn't mean anything by it. He would have never said that to the person personally. He has no low self esteem issues. He's just being human and thought he could make a joke (all be it, not your type of joke) in the comfort of his own home. Apparently, he doesn't consider your size an issue or he wouldn't have said it in front of you. And, just because he is protective of his sister, does not mean he LIKES that she is that size.

I'm sure you personally have made off-handed comment about someone else. We all do it. If you haven't, then you are the exception and not the norm.

Just let it go...

Personally, I wouldn't dwell on it. I think he made an offhand remark without thinking. In no way was he directly it to you.

I've found that when people insult or make a negative comment about someone else, they are feeling insecure about themselves in some way.
