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

harrigran Fri 23-Jan-15 22:55:28

But of course grin

No doubt about it. grin

I gave my DH a birthday card last week that stated "For this one special day only, I'm going to let you be right".

And I couldn't, because he wasn't! grin

I say to my DS, "I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." grin

DH doesn't do apologies apart from one notable occasion and we won't go there (no he didn't in case your wondering) what he does say is ' sorry if you think I've upset you' - could murder him at that moment!

I may not always be right, but I do always have the last word.

My OH is always so insistent that he is right that I appear to give in and agree and then just wait for him to eventually see that in fact it was again me who was proved right - that way I find it is far less stressful and safer when he is driving!. grin

Like Bez I just bide my time.
Then he knows he was wrong, I know he was wrong.... and he knows I know, that he knows, he was wrong !!

I think he has said Sorry a couple of times.... it is not a regular occurrence. He will ask if I'd like a cup of tea, would I like to go out for dinner, will make small talk about something useless. etc. but can't get his tongue around the word Sorry.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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 10:17:33

So infuriating!

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!

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.

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 12:33:13

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

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

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

janerowena Mon 26-Jan-15 13:05:28

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

Eloethan Mon 26-Jan-15 13:16:08

Thanks to all of you for the laughs.
