When they pull that “if you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you” crap, the best thing to do is smile at them, pat them on the knee, and say “good, I’m glad we agree on this” before leaving for the opposite end of the house.
Drives ‘em crazy because they can’t disagree without admitting they were wrong.
Actual quote from my ex: “If you loved me I wouldn’t HAVE to tell you what I want!” On the other hand my current (and final) Spouse likes to tell me where something small is thus: “It’s in the garage”. She also asks for “it” without any referent. I’m convinced that she believes that what she’s thinking is what she said… but it still does come down to mind reading.
I heard this line from one of the Dry Bar comedy videos. “Isn’t it amazing God has just ten commandments for all of humanity? Hey, my wife has at least one thousand, and that’s just for me at home!”
I don’t understand why women think that men are mind readers, If you want us to know something, then tell us – otherwise you’re wasting your time. Hints go right over our heads. There have been studies on it. All down to how brains are wired differently for men and women
“I’m mad, but I’m not going to tell you why” has a maturity factor of approximately 3.2 years, Opal. This isn’t what people are talking about when they’re discussing maintaining one’s youthful spirit..
When you feel like a broken record.. there’s nothing left to say. Or in my case, every time I spoke I was cut off and my words were twisted into a lie.

I never understood that whole, “ You should know without being told” thing. My response to it is usually, “Why?”

“Rabbi, I have this urge to live forever! What can I do?”
“Get married.”
“Then I will live forever?”
“No, but the urge will go away.”

Please let it be noted that Earl attempted to bridge the gap in understanding — he was shot down, but he tried.

All I can say is that this is yet another case of unpleasantness on her part.

Mind-reading is not an option. You tell me why you’re mad or you go stew in your own juices. Life is too short for that nonsense.
