[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general Takeaway I’m getting from this thread, is that I should simply bite my tongue, let things be and have a Coke and a smile and STFU. Lol. Thanks, all.[/quote]

About face creams?  Yup, absolutely.

Save your deep thoughts to disagree with her when discussing world peace.  If you play the contrarian about both world peace and face creams, her brain goes into "there he goes again" mode no matter what you say.

If you save your explaining for when your discussion will be enhanced by what you're saying, she will see it as a valuable contribution and not an aggression. [/quote]

Yes, this! And somebody posted upstream that you should [b]actively agree[/b] at least once a day. It is so demoralizing to be contradicted all the time. About shit that doesn't matter. Just once in a while try agreeing with your wife. Here's some phrases: Yes, I like the color yellow for those mugs! Yes, I liked that TV show because I love baby sharks! Yes, we can go on a vacation, where and when do you propose? Yes, sometimes I wish I could just drop all my responsibilities and run away, too: North Carolina sounds nice right now. Yes, I DO think Rhoda is a little Weird, but I think her heart is in the right place. Yes, revamping the kitchen sounds exciting! Yes, I think that milk smells bad.

See how easy that is? (the alternatives, and probably what you do: No, I don't like yellow.  The TV show was OK but I hated the ending they should have done BLAH BLAH BLAH. We can't go on vacation right now, COVID!  No, I'm an adult. Rhoda is fine. We can't add a window in the kitchen, that's stupid, and here's 1000 reasons why. The milk smells fine to me.)[/quote]
