[quote=Anonymous]Is this just simple contempt or something more?

Why does my DH constantly dismiss me? If I say I think something needs to be done, he contradicts me every single time.

I am not someone who spouts off and demands things or asserts things I know nothing about. So if for instance, I say “hey, this [house issue] should be fixed because it’s dangerous. I don’t feel comfortable doing it so I can look into hiring somebody.” He downplays it. He makes me feel so insane that last night I googled whether this thing was dangerous and every single result was “YES, FIX IMMEDIATELY.”

If I say “hey, would you mind packing [thing SN kid needs] while I get ready?” He’ll say we don’t need to bring it. So he sits there on his phone while I either take care of the thing I asked him nicely to do, or we leave without it and the outing sucks because inevitably the kid needs this thing so we go home early. Every single effing time.

It would be one thing if he just didn’t care, but he simply seems to just not believe me when I tell him something about the world or our kids or whatever. He’s smart in many ways, but it’s like he thinks I’m stupid. Which I have no insecurities about because I did very well in school and I happen to know my IQ.

I don’t henpeck him, I praise him, I am kind. It almost just smacks as your run-of-the-mill misogyny where men think they are the rational, intelligent ones and woman are to be dismissed.

I’m at my wits end. Anyone else deal with this?
