[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is it misogynistic to want to make a good impression in front of your  boss?

It's not everyday you get the opportunity to have dinner with your boss.

I've been feeling like we were growing a part for  a while now, and dinner just highlighted that.

I see my boss and his wife, and my colleagues and their spouses, specifically the husbands,  and my husband is the odd one out.

You can call me all the names you want, but that doesn't change my feelings. I honestly don't see how I'm any worse than any of the other  posters.

I'm not cheating on him. I'm not trying to hook up with my coworkers. I'm not denying him sex. 
All I want for him is step his game up a bit more, and realize that what he does impacts me, and apparently that makes me a cunt. Talk about misogyny...

1. Correct, it isn't misogynistic to want to make a good impression in front of your boss. Please re-read the PP for context.

2. Yes, that's very clear, and it's also clear from your level of contempt and disgust that this marriage is in ruins. You don't like your husband's clothes and appearance (perhaps fixable), but above all, you don't like HIM. The way he talks, the way he presents himself, everything about him that you think reflects badly on you.

3. I'll take your word for it that he's awkward, and I get that that might be a little embarrassing for you, but your posts are ice cold and really pretty cruel, and I'm not sure you understand how abnormal it is to discuss one's spouse like this.

4. I know you don't see it, but everyone else does. As several of us have said, we get your embarrassment and some degree of exasperation, and are sure he could smarten up a bit. Many guys could. It's your language and your words and your tone that are so alienating and mean. You are very angry and it just seems like your problems go deeper. You also aren't painting a convincing portrait of yourself as a winner, which you clearly want to be. If your husband is such a doofus, why would a winner like you be with him? Don't have kids with this man, or at all, if you're this harsh with people who don't serve your self-image as perfectly as you demand.[/quote]
