Oh yes, I have a Mr Always Right he wasn’t like it pre-retirement though 🤷‍♀️

I really understand. In my case if something doesn't work orhas gone missing. It is always 'Well, what have youd done with it?/Where have you put it.

Fortunately DD recognises it, so now and again I can have a little moan. It is not a separate beds or divorcing matter welbeck, just the comings and goings or everyday life and none of us is perfect. Just now and again one feels the need to have a little rant.

There’s nothing like a computer to cause a row, could you use one device at a time.

Different devices will not display a website exactly the same due to screen size,browser,and operating systems your DH is not as knowledgeable as he thinks.

😁
Men do tend to get like this as they get older, it’s mega annoying isn’t it? Unless you’re a doormat you have to say something now and then to remind them this behaviour is just not on.Pick your battles is my advice.
I wonder if it’s a sort of control thing that they do to make up for lost confidence?

You do realise that MEN are always right!

Similar problem in my house! I know I should just let it go, but sometimes it's hard, when I know I'm right!!!

I totally get what you're saying and we have similar tiffs. They're never over really important issues, we got those things sorted decades ago. My husband has lost a bit of his confidence as he's got older and I'm definitely seeing signs of "always being right" which really rubs me up as I don't like being told I'm wrong ( sometimes I am!). I try to practice least said soonest mended but occasionally it just feels good to let the frustration out!

Sounds an utterly childish thing to be arguing about.
If he doesn't understand that it appears differently on different devices
what does that matter ?
Just discuss the prospective purchase rather than looking for an argument on a subsidiary and inconsequential matter.
It's nice to have someone to share daily life with.
Unless it's not.
In which case move leave or isolate in the spare room.

Got to get it off my chest. This often happens and ends up like tonight in an awful row. We were both looking at a retail website, him on his computer and me on the IPad. I got the section up with the item he wanted me to see but I could not find it. So he shows me where it is on his computer. It isn’t in that position on my I pad and I only get into the right page by entering the name of the item. Then it appears but in a different row. Dh refuses to accept this, laughs and says I can’t have looked properly. This makes me very angry as he will not accept what I am telling him I am seeing. If I persue it he then says he’s off to bed. Grrr!
