Dear Queenie,
Very often someone will tell me how lucky I am to have a wife who loves me so much. I feel like this is an insult, not a compliment, because it’s as if I don’t deserve to have a wonderful marriage and family.
Queenie, what’s a good way to answer them?—Offended husband
Dear Husband,
People who say such things may be thinking about the way things are between them and their spouses. Just smile and say something like, “Yes, we’re lucky to have each other.”
