[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: When I talk to him, I was going to use the analogy of us watching a female comedian who said that all men are dogs and worthless pieces of crap and that women only like them for their money. And that we both laughed and that afterward, I said that I secretly agreed with much of that but it's not appropriate to say in real life, and how would he feel?

Do you think this is a decent analogy?[/quote]

Do you have a therapist to discuss this relationship with? You seem so tentative and insecure about how to talk about this. Which makes me think there may be even more red flags here.

My husband and I don’t agree on all comedy. We are going to see Hannah Gadsby soon who tells some hard truths about toxic masculinity. That doesn’t mean I  secretly relate to wanting to stab my husband. My husband and I can discuss her comedy like adults. He joked that “he needs to be ready to be really uncomfortable during the show as a white male.” I rolled my eyes and joked back “it will be good for you. It might give you some insight into how hard it would be to be a black woman that shows up at all these networking events you attend that are 99% old white dudes.” He chuckled wryly, because he knows there is some truth to what I said. I didn’t need to consult with a board on how to handle this with my hsuband.[/quote]
