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 I don’t mean to sound misogynistic or patronizing, but she does get annoyed and we you get in more fights around this time, [b]but I want to be able to speak my mind not worry about offending somebody.[/b][/quote]

Translation, you want permission to be a jerk and not suffer consequences for it. [/quote]

How is disagreeing or presenting relevant, science based evidence,  being a jerk? Why indulge untruths, or present a counter claim, and have to live in fear of a harsh response? Microwaves are more the enemy. Botox works, most skin creams probably don’t (except for some with very specific ingredients)...

[b]I don’t always disagree.[/b] We agree on many things, but I would want to be with someone who would be honest rather than a yes man.[/quote]

I'll just quote you back to yourself:

[quote]she accuses me of always taking a contrarian stance to what she says. Secretly, I probably do [/quote]

Stop being a jerk.  Constantly disagreeing with someone or challenging everything they say for no reason other than to entertain yourself or feel intellectually superior is being a jerk.  You are constantly belittling your wife and assuming she is unintelligent, illogical, and unreasonable because she doesn't hold the same OPINIONS that you do.  She doesn't think microwaves damage food, she thinks it's rude to purchase a microwave for a child if the parent doesn't want a microwave.  But you had to jump in with your unnecessary explanations about why the parent's opinion shouldn't exist.  You move the topic to something you can disagree with, rather than ever agreeing with your wife.  You are a jerk, and in this thread you've also become a liar.  Just stop.[/quote]
