[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People like OP are so exhausting in the real world that folks generally avoid them once they realize "this is the guy who thinks he's an expert on face cream". We've all met that guy.

Unfortunately OP's wife doesn't have the luxury to dodge this daily crap or likely the energy to constantly push back. Never fear, OP's wife, DCUM can handle this *all day*. :)

(some of these responses have made me laugh out loud in my kitchen. "Pseudoscience is one word, smart guy...") :)

PP. the funny thing is the exact dynamic you’re talking about makes them stand resolute in the confidence of their approach. I cannot tell you how many times my ex’s final retort would be, “no one else disagrees but you; other people don’t need this explained”, etc. Well, yeah, ding dong. They don’t have to live with you 24/7 and raise your spawn. Of course it’s easier to just shut up, they don’t have a lifetime contract to protect and nurture. Is it so hard to respect the difference in how I view the world, the principles that guide me, and actually support them? You think you can argue a point that requires me to respond with affection? Over time it can really corrode a seemingly perfect dynamic if both people aren’t aware of th dynamic. Supporting someone’s opinion does not mean it invalidates your opinion or belief. That is why I am a Christian that supports the rights of “sinners” to equal protections under secular law.[/quote]
