No one believes my husband is my husband. Is that because heโ€™s younger and prettier than me?

Why worry about it? Iโ€™ve consistently been with women considered (and considerably) more attractive than I am, and Iโ€™ve gotten similar questions many times. I just let it flow. Hereโ€™s a few:

โ€œAre you related? Is that your sister?โ€

Suggested response: โ€œYes, and weโ€™re trying for a baby.โ€

โ€œUhhhโ€ฆsheโ€™s with you?โ€

Suggested answer: โ€œI know! Iโ€™m just doing her a favor!โ€

โ€œHowโ€™d you swing that?โ€

Suggested response: โ€œThey donโ€™t call me Big Mike for my height.โ€

Some of those only work for a man, but you get the idea. It throws people off and it makes them feel guilty for being so judgmental and nosy.
