So here's the deal. My wife and I have been happily married for 26 years. We recently moved to a gated community and something strange is happening. My wife is very cute, athletic, bubbly, fun, social, etc etc. I'm not the most social guy in the world, especially in larger groups. More than anything, people describe me as quiet. I'm fine with that as that's me. I'm cool in other ways.
So I've been getting guys (at least 5 now) in my neighborhood come up to me (or even when my wife and I are together) at parties or events and saying "You're a lucky man" to me....regarding my wife. These are mostly single guys or guys that are known around the community as "sleezy" even though they're married. They don't bother to talk to me or get to know me. I looked this up on the "internets" and confirmed what I think it means. It seems like a dig on me as I'm not good enough for her or it's a way to tell her they're interested in her. When they say it to me I immediately think, wow that's weird to say that. Why even say it?
No matter what they're intention is, I am sick of it as it's definitely not a harmless compliment. She thinks it's weird as well and immediately walks off when she hears it. Getting tired of just nodding politely. Anyone got a good comeback to put the sleezy one's in their place?
