Probably best not to say 'You look hot' under any context grin

I'd have thumped him.....actually my DH would have had more sense not to say a word!

Oh! Well yes, there are probably more subtle ways to have made the point!

But you have given us an idea. Things NOT to say to a menopausal woman grin Love to hear more <takes notes to leave casually strewn around for DH>

At the weekend we were going out to lunch. I spent ages getting ready, wanting to look nice for the occasion. I wore a pale blue cotton shirt and when he saw it my husband said "well that's going to look great with sweat patches if you get a hot flush isn't it?"

I was so taken aback. Yes, actually he was right, but just for once I would like my life not to be governed by the bloody menopause which is really not proving to be fun at all. Am I unreasonable to want this?
