[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But did he cook and clean while you dated? What made you all want to get married? You have to get back to that.

And I went to counseling with my ex. A few different counselors. They all told us to just hire a cleaning lady. Nope. I dumped the guy instead. I’m still annoyed with those counselors. [/quote]

He did. He’s a great cook and kept a very clean house. He was also very progressive and feminist when we dated.

There’s been other stuff. He wants to talk a lot about European colonization and how horrible it was. Which it was, but I’m not really sure how to respond when he’s heavily implying he thinks I shouldn’t be here. Also various commentary on white people, like if we visit my family he’ll comment on how he’s freaked out by how many blonde people there are. If I pick up a hobby he’ll often comment how it’s a “white people thing”. [/quote]

Why do you want your kids to hear language like this? It sounds to me like he is using this language as a way to isolate you from your support systems. This is controlling and abusive, not a social commentary.

If he is truly interested in historical analysis, educate yourself as to the history of the Aztec empire and its own colonialist practices, and why Cortés was able to so quickly enlist armies of native Mexicans to rise up against Moctezuma II. Ask him why the Tlaxcalan warriors so quickly sided with a foreign invader over the Aztec empire.

This isn’t to say that European colonialism wasn’t awful. Of course it was. But this revisionist history where the Aztec empire was a gentle force for good is ridiculously ahistorical idiocy, albeit something that is now pushed by the dim numbskulls that control a lot of liberal arts curriculums.
