[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact he “relates to this” is pretty horrific. It would be one thing if he said “sure, there may be a small kernel of truth to some pieces of this, but a lot of it is totally over the top.” I personally would have turned it off and have expected my husband to do the same.[/quote]
EXACTLY. That is what comedy usually is. Taking a kernel of truth and exploding it. And we all feel that tug of recognition in our souls that our wife talks too much, and puts out too little, and our husbands are pigs and life would be easier if they'd just do as I say, but ... that's why we laugh! Because it is true, we are uncomfortable, and seen.

Sexist humor can be funny. But if you actually live by a sexist moral code - no thank you, good bye.[/quote]

+1 This might be the beginning of the end for me.

I am 39. Dumped a mid-40's guy becauase while he wanted to come across as a good guy, he clearly thought what he wanted and needed was way more important than anything I wanted or needed.

Good guys don't really think like that. I would watch what he does in the next few weeks with more scrutinty. But after only 3 months, I might know it is already over. I don't need to spend another moment on another jerk.[/quote]
