[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problem with the face cream. I can see how that came across after rereading my post . However, she can buy all the beauty products in the world, but good science tells us that sleep, lots of water, low stress, actual Botox, or dermoabrasion, or staying out of the sun and eating a good diet will work better than some OTC cream in a bottle that claims things that probably amount to a placebo effect on the user. She could spend $500 on a cream, and that’s fine, I just feel I should be able to say hey “you know there’s a ton of false marketing, which is documented by verifiable sources, on the thousands of beauty products out there, and that’s what doctors and experts actually say about this, so your skin looks great hun, but that’s my opinion.”

Anyway, I can definitely see how it’s patronizing and annoying of me to say that, but I guess at the end of the day I should just hold off and let her have her opinion and not say anything. I am getting way too detailed about this. The point being is that she thinks I disagree with her all the time. Perhaps that’s a product of years of marriage. You’re with somebody so often that you know every facet of them and you either grow together or you grow apart. I guess the real issue is converging personalities and give-and-take required for a successful marriage..

I do think that I have hit my limit in the last few years in entertaining or humoring conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and anti-science views. Whether it’s 71 million people believing that Trump had his election stolen from him or that he is a good president, or that microwaves cause cancer or suck all the nutrients out of food or change the chemical composition of water, or that a skin cream actually does all that it claims. Basically, I can take a joke and generally have thick skin, maybe that’s more of a male trait, and I’m sorry I don’t mean to sound misogynistic, end it is my wife’s time of the month, which again [b]I don’t mean to sound misogynistic or patronizing[/b], but she does get annoyed and we you get in more fights around this time, but I want to be able to speak my mind not worry about offending somebody.[/quote]

And yet, there you go again.  [/quote]
