[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What on earth are you talking about? I'm almost genuinely curious about the microwave story because I literally cannot fathom what actually happened there. Your writing provides no clue.

But it seems like you admit to being contrarian to your wife, and in particular she thought she looked good because of her face cream, and you had to shoot her down. "Maybe you don't actually look good, honey," is not a very nice thing to imply. So yes, that's on you. It's not kind. [/quote]

I didn’t say that to her. All I said was, babe you look great, maybe it’s more product of you having slept well last night, then it is that face cream. She knows I am skeptical of alternative medicine, or things like TCM, or generally beauty claims by OTC products in general. Her sister buys hundreds of dollars worth of supplements, things like rose hips, gut bio pills, things that have disclaimers on them essentially. Like expensive pills that may be of questionable origin or efficacy. I love her sister she’s great. However she also buys things like Himalayan sea salt lamps. Effectively she’s into alternative healing. I keep my mouth closed but whenever she tries to get my kids to take her supplements I say no. Please don’t give my child whatever distilled nonsense snake oil pill you have. This sister also believes that microwaves are generally bad for food or change the health qualities of food and so she doesn’t have one in her home.

The point is my wife doesn’t want me to criticize those types of things, and gets defensive if I do, which is a natural reaction, obviously that’s her sister. Anyway, I am much more reason and evidence-based about why I put in or on my body. Again, I digress. The only real point of this thread is that my wife and I frequently disagree and she says I never agree with her side or that I am contrarian. We disagree a lot, but I think we also agree a lot, but the bottom line is that marriage is frequently difficult as everyone knows.[/quote]
