Take it for what it's worth (meaning)

A handsome young man moves into the house next door and you and your wife want to follow the rules of american etiquette: deliver a plate of cookies along with a collection of takeout menus from your favorite local places. Yes, that seems like a lot of work to do but you have always taken a lot of pride in your manners.

So you knock on his door, introduce yourselves and do everything planned. On the way back home though, here is what your wife says: "Oh, so not only is he handsome, he is also very nice!" At first you think that is just very kind of your wife to point that out, but soon you find yourself submerged in paranoia. How impressed could she be by that handsome nice young man after all? The thought of your wife sneaking around behind your back having an affair with the new guy next door is so cruel you decide to level with her. Here is what you say: "I tried to take your comment on the way back home for what it is worth but my jealousy makes me think there is some hidden meaning in it."

Your wife cant believe your level of insecurity and make it very clear you can take her comment for what it is worth. In other words, her comment didn't hide any ulterior motives and she meant exactly what she said. Nothing else.

That is all for now guys. Talk to you next time!
