How am I supposed to react when my husband's friends say things like "I wish I could swap wives with you", "If only I'd met her first" or "Maybe I could be the 3rd wheel in your marriage" to my husband in front of me?
I get very uncomfortable with compliments and attention. I've experienced lots and lots of harassment in my life and I just get this feeling that "Oh no, they want something from me" and "am I safe?", when ever people pay me too much attention.
I know these guys would never do anything bad, and I trust that my husband knows how to choose his friends etc. But I just don't know how to act or what to say when ever things like this happen, I just feel very VERY awkward and uncomfortable. My husband thinks it's funny and he takes it as a compliment, because "I managed to get you" and because "you're so amazing and beautiful", so he just jokes about it with them. But to me it's just gross. I'm a human being, not some rare, prized Pokémon card to possess or something.
So what am I supposed to say/how am I supposed to react when they say stuff like that with both of us in the room? Am I supposed to just try and find humor in it or what? I don't want to be rude or anything but I'd rather not have to fake laugh either (it's that awkward fake laugh when you're feeling uncomfortable and don't know what to do). Ideas?
