Now, I know what we women put our husbands through. But honestly, unless your wife is really ripped, she couldn't truthfully expect you to simply say "Yes, honey. You should be a model in the VS catalog." Very few women that don't starve themselves look like the VS models. It's honestly a bit of a strange thing to comment on those womens' abs, to begin with. They're so anorexic that they've starved away all of their muscle tone.
My take, from my wifely experience...wifey wanted love and attention, and you were supposed to be aware of that, instead of being a dumb male and doing work on a Friday night.
Just go out tomorrow and get her some nice perfume and lingerie. All will be forgiven.
Oh, and just in case you need some pointers on the perfume, I highly suggest Chanel No. 5, Trouble, or Euphoria by Calvin Klein. J'adore is nice as well. All are very sexy, and not too flowery or fruity.
Brilliant. You stripped away all the words and got to the message. She's no VS model. 99.99% of them are not. She was, indeed, merely trying to connect, possibly to get a little reassurance and approval, and certainly to get a little romance -- or more likely, affection.
Well done.
