+1 Both DHs are AHs in those scenarios |
You're allowed to disagree. You're allowed to have whatever opinions you want. But some of your opinions may make you an AH. |
You all are missing the point. The point isn't that OP's husband was supposed to blindly agree with what she said, then or ever. Of course people can disagree. You can say you had fun going out with Janet and James and your husband can say actually he didn't enjoy their company. That's ok. You don't have to like everything and everyone your spouse does. But in OP's case what her friend was doing has no bearing on her husband, but he still felt the need to slam a widow for having some fun. That's not a guy I'd be interested in, and it seems other posters agree. And it's kind of a dick thing to say all around, which is why people are calling him an AH. |
Sigh. No, you are entitled to think that rafting isn't fun. You are allowed to choose not to go rafting. What you're not allowed to say is that anyone who goes rafting is an airhead. That doesn't make sense and it's rude. Do you understand the distinction? |
Like if he is just telling me about something fun his friend did, and I had never thought about it, but start shitting on it just to be a contrarian and keep the conversation interesting? Yes. That would make me a difficult person to be in a relationship with. Or if I had a belief that any kind of adventure activity was stupid and dangerous, and I expressed it? I don’t think that would make me an a-hole, but I think it would make me an anxious person, and it would probably weigh into the discussion about our 16 year old driving on the highway. |
Exactly. The OP is the AH here. She's gutless and didn't have the integrity to even figure out what her own opinion is without crowd sourcing it in a pre selected forum that leans hard towards misandry. |
That's just the thing. You ARE allowed to say that anyone who goes rafting is an airhead. Wives aren't "allowed" to thought police or speech police or opinion police their husbands. Even if they can find a forum on the internet with a significant number of BSC bitter women to support them in it. Because people like you aren't the thought speech or opinion police either |
The PP said the opposite. Also, it was pretty clear to everyone what OP's opinion on the subject was. That's not what she was crowdsourcing. |
Ok, I'll rephrase because you're being argumentative. What you're not allowed to say that is anyone who goes rafting is an airhead WITHOUT BEING CALLED AN AH. When you pass judgment on people, that will often make you an AH. Be one if you want, but that's what you are, just to be clear. I judge anyone who lets their kids have pacifiers while doing activities (playing on the playground, for example). That probably makes me an AH and I'm fine with it, I'll continue to sit in my judgment on that topic. So you CAN say whatever you want and people CAN call you an AH. |
Sure I am. Just because you are a psycho with tourettes syndrome doesn't meant jack to anyone. |

Did she see No Doubt at the Sphere??!
That was a great show! Oh sorry - - - uh yes, your husband is the a%# here. Your friend has every right to take some time for herself > especially considering all that she has went through. Taking some “me” time makes her a better, well-rounded parent and I am sure her kids were in good hands! |
LOL. The opinion OP needed to crowd source was whether or not her h was an AH. You're not the sharpest pubic hair on the labia, are you? |
Typical radical feminist perspective. The only thing that matters is what they believe their "rights" are. No one has the "right" to go to Vegas. Oh wait that right was established in the Magna Carts wasn't it? Sorry my bad. |
+1. As for if DH is the AH, I think it depends if he has the same rules for everyone including himself or not. if he had the chance for his favorite band or sporting event, think normally tickets sold out or friend was able to get them for a deal, would he not even consider it because it would require taking time off from work plus either putting more work on their partner with the kids or getting family to help with the kids? |
A glass bowl for having an opinion you don’t like? No. What is wrong with you? Who thinks this way? |
