[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH used to do this to me, a lot. It was incredibly annoying (and he was not always right! He's much less argumetnative now that I can google something ;). Anyway, OP, there's a way in which you can validate your wife's opinions, thoughts and feelings without agreeing with her on everything.

"My skin looks great, It must be the cream!"

"well, your skin does look great, but I thought it looked great before. I am happy you are pleased with the cream." (that is, unless the 200$ is th epoint of contention)

the whole thing about i'm logical, right, studied science, etc, can be very annoying--my final piece of advice is to explore what's driving your need to disagree? what would happen if you nodded or said interesting or even said "hm, I see it differently' (which is different than YOU"RE WRONG).

the other day i visited someone who told me something that was not correct (its in my field of speciality) but i just let it go. I didn't think there was any point to disagreeing--there was no harm in their belief, it didn't matter one way or another so the only impulse for me to contradict them would be my own desire to 'be right.' If there was a real need to clarify, then I would have said something like "Well, that's a commonly held bellef but in fact.." (also, women have to be careful about how they contradict men, so we learn to do it more subtly early on).
