Ladies and gentlemen like we discussed earlier this is Sheldon Cooper. Blunt and unable to interact well in a social setting not to mention a long term relationship.

Yeah honey that dress does make you look fat.
Yes your sister is hotter.

What's the matter, I am just being honest.

Yea man, between you and me I'm definitely the Sheldon Cooper. That show sucks by the way.

And if a woman ever asked me if a dress made her fat or if her sister was hotter I'd walk away right then and there. I can't think of 2 dumber questions.

Yeah my wife has asked the dress question and wanted a serious answer. I answered her truthfully, then she tried on six more and got rid of the ones that I said looked bad. We talked though.

You automatically dismiss any question like that because you feel you are superior to women and their brains are deficient. You don't think that they are just wired differently, because science says they are. You think they are too dumb to actually work on a relationship.

Don't bother trying to refute it. Nobody cares, it's who you are. Live your life but stop thinking your pathetic interactions with women are the only way to maintain a relationship. Cause you are wrong. It's not the only way and your way has been proven to fail. Keep telling us the only way to talk to our wives.

No, I just think the women you're specifically talking about are inferior to me. Because they are.

I've never been asked that question but I think this is how it would go.

"Babe, does this dress make me look fat?"
"Haha what? Are we in a TV show right now?"
"Stop it, does it make me look fat?"
"No babe. All those cheeseburgers you've been eating make you look fat"

To be fair there is a difference between being supportive about mundane questions and ideas that are inconsequential in the bigger picture. Like if your wife asked you if she looked fat. And actual ideologies and core beliefs that are completely divergent, which is what titan was talking about.

If he has to hold his tongue about things he values as part of who he is and can't share his own opinions on said things... that's a problem. And anyone who says "That's just relationships man, happy wife happy life" is ridiculous.

That's pretty normal shit man. Girls get insecure. Enjoy your life alone bro.

My wife asks that shit, I make her show me the goods before I will answer. Sometimes she asks if I would lie to her and I say yes.

Luckily my girlfriend doesn't have a sister. I don't have to worry about the dreaded, "Is my sister hotter than me?!"

I told my wife she looked like a lesbian a few months ago because she was wearing a polo. Do not recommend. Night ruined.

My wife had these pink plaid capri pants. I told her she looked like a lesbian wearing them that she eventually (thankfully) threw them away. God they were hideous.

Khane, you seem to be assuming that those questions are solely put out there to be landmines. I'm not saying you are wrong in many cases, but those questions really aren't the problem. If you answer them honestly and she freaks the fuck out, that is the problem.

We're in agreement. I was commenting on all the advice to keep your mouth shut just to assuage a woman.

I get why anyone would do it for silly questions like "Do I look fat". Why poke the bear? I'm just a dick.

My wife had these weird leopard print pajama pants that were like 10 years old. Literally the worst pair of pants you could ever imagine.

Whenever I did laundry I ripped them a little more until she threw them away finally. God what a nightmare. I told her they were a boner killer but she still wore them.

Titan's issues though, aren't about something like "Does my dress make me look fat". If he is talking about the same issues that he had with his spouse in the other thread, its more political stuff like "If you think Hands Up Don't Shoot was a false narrative, you are a racist"

There is nothing more toxic in a relationship than contempt. A spouse thinking you are racist seems to at a minimum be expressing that. You aren't going to solve it with a conversation, it is beyond normal rational discourse. It really needs to go to counseling. I think it might even be beyond that, as I can't imagine any counselor being able to bridge the amount of contempt necessary for a person to sincerely call their spouse racist against their race.

One trait that will destroy your marriage

Have to agree with Khalid. Not sure how you bridge such a fundamental difference. If my wife was like that, no matter how great everything else was, I know that over time it would eat away at me (though I'd never marry such a person anyway). I couldn't deal with someone who had so little interest in facts or an unwillingness to research to back up her opinions. Good luck with that.

Well, I think you can fundamentally disagree about the causes and need for social change in America, and have those conversations with people. But when those people instantly label you and shut down if you don't agree with them, those people are closed minded assholes. If it's your own wife that refuses to even listen to you, thats a big problem. You should be able to tell your wife ANYTHING, and at the very least she'll hear you out and give you a fair shake, even if she thinks you're a fucking weirdo for whatever you told her. If it's something as simple (and ultimately meaningless to white suburban people's lives) as BLM, that shows serious lack of respect and, to steal your word, contempt that isn't easy to fix. Thats some serious shit.

I feel like I need to defend Khane here. He just seems to have a really low tolerance for bullshit and doesn?t ever want to walk on eggshells about anything in his personal relationship. I don?t think wanting to be with a woman that isn?t insecure is too much to ask for. If you want a hug, ask for a hug. If you want me to listen, ask me to listen. If you want my opinion, ask for my opinion. Hell if you want to test me tell me you?re going to test me, but don?t setup this bullshit quasi test situation where you lob weird questions at me that I better be a mind reader to answer right.

Khane I haven?t seen anything you are looking for that seems incredible selfish or unreasonable. Better to be alone than stuck in a relationship that will eventually turn stale.
