He has a need to be right? Sounds like both of you do

Pointing out the objective obviousness of what milk is and is not is a not a need to be right.

Pointing it out multiple times is

Two plus two will never be five sweetie.

Exactly. Everybody knows that so why do you need to hear you're right?

Everyone but my husband. OP here.

1.eggs
2. bread
3. rice noodles
He came back with three packs of rice noodles! I said why do we need so many noodles? He said you wrote 3!
But, he bought one loaf of bread and dozen eggs! Not one egg! Men are so stupid sometime. It is hard not to think they lower on the evolution pole.

Love this. It’s like the commercial where the husband is putting tons and tons of asparagus in the basket and the wife says, wow that’s a lot. He says, yeah, you said to buy a bunch of asparagus. And the , oh... a... bunch... of asparagus.

The fact they you’re DH can’t be wrong, and very you’re being criticized for not playing along with his delusion or pride, is bullshit.

No. Has nothing to do with gender.

OP i hope you are ignoring the jerks who are trying to say you are naggy and have a need to be right. I think it is a small but vocal contigent of people.

You dh is wrong, obviously, and his response to you was out of line.

Give the milk to friends so it doesn't go bad and buy the soy or rice milk.

Woman, stop nagging.

This is what happens when men drink soy milk. They turn into little bitches.

Tucker, is that you?

Guys are dumb, and then they are defensive and many never apologize. My husband gets the wrong stuff at the grocery all the time (even though it's one of his chores, because I work twice as much as him).

Don't mention it anymore. Buy yourself a small soymilk and hide it in the back of the fridge for your use only. Let him (and the kids) either drink the milk he bought or eventually throw it out. Hopefully he will learn from his mistake.

Np here- why can't men just own up when they make a knucklehead stupid mistake? just say oops, I didn't even notice I picked up the wrong milk? why do they always have to be defensive. everyone makes mistakes. women admit it and say sorry ALL THE TIME, because it is polite and the right thing to do

Anyway, I'm not suggesting that you did anything wrong, the above is just for context, but for my husband that's what at the root of it. I usually just drop it.

The one time recently I dug in is when he refused to admit the girl in the red coat in Schindler's list was the same little girl Schindler later sees on a cart carrying dead bodies. He finally admitted I was right but I was PISSED. I understand the frustration of trying to argue with crazy.

New poster here. I remember talking with friends about family drama with siblings and the person said “you can’t argue with crazy”. I repeat that to myself to stop from getting caught up in needless drama.

Two things:

1. Your tone of voice was probably loaded when you said it.

2. WTF do you drink soy and almond milk if you're not allergic to dairy? You realize it's hyper processed and not better for you than grass-fed cow's milk, right?
