When was the last time your SO stuck up for you?

As some of you may remember, I went to put some shelves into a closet, but it turned into a whole new pantry a while back. Many of you gave advice,, (You know who you are!) and it was all SO helpful. Finished!

We had appraisers come in not long ago. He had appraised this house back in 1998, before I moved in. He was about my husband’s age, 60 or so.
He had the floor plan from 1998, asked what had been changed. Among other things I showed him the pantry, which had not been there before.
He said, “Your husband did a nice job!”
I said, “I did it.”
He laughed a little and said, “You mean you helped.”
I said, “No. I built them myself.”
He said, chuckling, “So, you know to work a saw and a drill? You know how to read a measuring tape? chuckle.”
My hackles went up but hell. I’ve spent 50 years listening to disparaging, insulting and assumptive comments based on the fact that I’m a woman, so I just said, “Yes. I do.”
Well, my husband got a little testy and said, with an edge to his voice, “She knows how to run every power tool there is, like a pro.”
The appraiser kind of chuckled again, then saw my husband’s face and got back to business.
Later I said, “So you caught that ‘let’s humor the silly girl’ tone, did you?”
He said, “Yeah, I did. Pissed me off!”

I just grinned. It’s good to have someone in your corner.
