It's a fact of life that people are going to comment on things they really have no right to. The well-meaning stranger in line at the store, the friend you've had for ages who knows you too well, the distant relative who tends to condemn every decision you make.

I'm usually a pretty understanding person, but there are some things people can say about your partner that are actually insults, no matter how you spin it.
