If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman there to hear...is he still wrong?

Good man grin

Sensible guy grin!

Life here is sweet and simple.
Mrs Retiredguy is always right and I always agree with her.
Always.

Did you hear the tale of the woman who advertised for sale the complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (this was pre Google days)? She then added 'Reason for sale, husband knows everything'.
Could be my DH.

Taking after his father heaven help me hmm!

annodomini Mon 26-Jan-15 14:26:31

Is this an inheritable characteristic? DS2 is a formidable arguer. The trouble is that he knows a great deal more than I do about economics! His father hated to have a woman contradict him, even on the most trivial matters.

DH has - and wears - a t-shirt with that slogan on. Not sure what that means.

loopylou Mon 26-Jan-15 13:55:37

As mine will argue about/with anyone (including people on the TV!), last night I said 'I'm sure you're right' (he wasn't, but hey ho) and he started arguing about that!!
I give up smile......

Thanks to all of you for the laughs.

Playing for time to think, in my case, Pompa.

Elegran Mon 26-Jan-15 12:35:35

When men do get a direct reply from a woman, they call it nagging.

pompa Mon 26-Jan-15 12:33:13

A direct reply from a woman, is that possible, usually get, maybe - possibly - although, etc.

janerowena Mon 26-Jan-15 12:20:22

You mean a direct one? Men can't cope with too many options, can they. grin

pompa Mon 26-Jan-15 11:48:20

"If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman there to hear...is he still wrong?"
Probably, but at least he gets a sensible reply.

annodomini Mon 26-Jan-15 10:48:39

When we got lost when ex was driving, it was my fault; when we got lost when I was driving, guess what!

rosequartz Mon 26-Jan-15 10:17:33

So infuriating!

Elegran Mon 26-Jan-15 10:12:37

I rtemember that "good idea" thing, rosequartz DH would turn down my suggestions as impossible, then come from work with "We were talking about xxxx today and so-and-so suggested . . ."

rosequartz Mon 26-Jan-15 09:54:04

He hates me having the last word - he says 'you always like the last word, don't you'!

So even at the end of a 'discussion' he will say:
"The Last Word"

He then chats to his friends and comes back with a 'good idea' - which was rubbish when I suggested it.

Anniebach Mon 26-Jan-15 09:47:59

I have a tea mug - I am not disagreeing just explaining you are wrong

Gagagran Mon 26-Jan-15 09:32:27

I've got a fridge magnet which says :

"I knew I was marrying Mr Right . I just didn't know his first name was Always".

Sounds as if they're all much the same!

vampirequeen Mon 26-Jan-15 09:05:31

shysal Sun 25-Jan-15 17:44:21

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken! grin

loopylou Sun 25-Jan-15 17:13:55

Highly relieved mine isn't the only one! grin
Must be in their genes I guess......

hildajenniJ Sun 25-Jan-15 17:12:07

My mother gave me some good advice on my wedding day, it has stood me in good stead. "Remember that your husband is always right, even when he's wrong". grin
