uh… okay

That is pretty much what women believe

Also if you’re a husband and for some reason you are right, apologize immediately.

Or as Jef Foxworthy put it: “If she ain’t happy, you ain’t happy.”

The day after our wedding when we had the reception at my new in-laws’ house. Husband and FIL are in the kitchen doing dishes. FIL tells my husband: This is my best advice. It’s always the husband’s fault. Husband: What’s my fault. FIL: What is not important. It’s always your fault. From my perspective, it’s been difficult. How can you have a good fight, if one of you always says, “you’re right, it’s all my fault”?

… Shockingly Sexist.

Appropriate responses include: “Yes, dear.” “Of course, dear.” and “What ever you want, dear.”

Cause a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, and I’m going to do what you tell me to, dear, because I’m top dog around here, but I’ve been neutered – from the man song

My first wife’s notion of compromise: do it her way.

Unmarried people always have such helpful advice for married couples.

I’m so tired of that sexist trope.

He will never give up the remote… but you can still change the channel with the app on your phone. (Just sneak it in when he’s ‘resting his eyes’. )

Exactly right Tia

Tia Carmen and my wife have the same beliefs about marriage.

Especially when she’s wrong. Sooner a guy learns it the better……

(sigh) as an old bachelor, I say to you married men, if that’s what it takes…

We always do what he wants to do. Then later he says to me “You were right – again. We shouldn’t have done that.” So even if I am right 50% of the time, it does not matter we always do what he wants. It is his parents we lived near – not mine – nor I did want to live near either set of parents.

that’s the best way to get a divorce. Because at some point, the husband is going to say he’s right and stand his ground. If the wife is so conditioned to always being right, she’ll be angry and feel betrayed. And neither will be wrong.
