[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP your wife sounds like a woman who would sell Doterra[/b]. And that is kind of annoying. I would have trouble entertaining all of that junk medicine stuff as I personally think its quite damaging actually because it can make people ignore real medical problems.

But you also seem like an incredibly critical and nagging person. The microwave story, if I'm reading correctly is that SIL doesn't like microwaves but kid wanted it so some other third party friend purchased them a microwave (and like, WTF, microwaves are expensive!). Your wife thought this was messed up. This was messed up BTW, regardless of the reasons, buying someone's kid something the parent doesn't want them to have is messed up. I would have said, 'god yeah that was really disrespectful that Tasha bought Larla and Larlita a microwave when Larla didn't want one'. You don't have to get into the kooky microwave stuff to just be a normal person there.

If you are contrarian about EVERYTHING, which it sounds like you are, she won't take you seriously on the things you actually should challenge her on like voter fraud or if she gets cancer and wants to treat it by eating acai bowls. Do you want to be fighting all the time? I assume no, so stop fighting about stupid stuff.

I would start by intentionally deciding to actively agree with her about something at least once a day, more if the opportunity presents. Not things you disagree with, don't lie, but look for your common ground instead of things you think are stupid and focus on those. [/quote]

Nah, that's his SIL.  Notice no one is taking issue with him refusing the supplements for his kids - because that's objectively bad and potentially dangerous.  His wife sounds like someone who can't even say "I think this face cream was worth it, my skin feels softer!" without getting a lecture.  [/quote]
