50 Insights from 50 Years - Don't ask quesitons you don't want the answer to

Insight Number 16

Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to – I once asked my husband if he thought I looked fat in a particular outfit. His answer was “yes.” And he was right and I didn’t really appreciate him telling me that. When I made a fuss he asked, “Did you want me to lie to you.” Actually I did! I realized at that moment it was better not to ask questions I did want the answer to.
