The secret to a happy marriage? Making sure she’s always right.

Current_Finding_4066 · 2023-09-30T12:19:40+00:00

That’s how to keep a narcissist happy. You won’t be happy though when she has complete control over your life.

If you can’t discuss things and have disagreements like adults, leave her. If she has to always be right, leave her. If she can never apologize when she does something wrong towards you, leave her. You know that saying, “happy wife happy life”? I always thought it should be replaced with “happy spouse happy house”.

I have a happy relationship and she admits she’s wrong all the time. All of my exes who always had to be right were abusive as fuck, some even got physical with their abuse. It’s not worth it.

This is my life. According to my wife I do everything wrong.

brainhack3r · 2023-09-30T13:13:46+00:00

I love the trope that men are just dumb idiots that can't understand how to wash our laundry so women have to talk down to us because we're just neanderthals ...

It's not cute. It's not funny.

There are ads in the 1960s making the same jokes about women like they're too stupid so they have to stay in the kitchen and let men make all the decisions like which cars to buy.

It's not right when it's done to women and it's not right when it's done to men.

Making sure she's always in control yet never accountable.

hendrixski · 2023-09-30T12:02:17+00:00

Then we internalize this misandry. Then they blame us for how toxic it is to live this bullshit in your head.

Spins13 · 2023-09-30T11:22:37+00:00

Looks like Peter is being whipped. She will ditch him for someone else because she won’t have any more respect for him soon

heeroena · 2023-09-30T11:39:54+00:00

This trop of happy wife happy life just won't die. Another one is cheaper to keep her. Both lies that need to go

Leave Abbey in Abbey Road.

Men aren't a pedestrian crossing, to be walked on.

wwwhistler · 2023-09-30T13:48:44+00:00

for decades if not centuries the saying " a Happy Wife for a Happy Life" has been uttered....

but in all that time there has never been a corresponding statement about men.

almost as if the happiness of men is irrelevant.

Current_Finding_4066 · 2023-09-30T12:51:13+00:00

She sounds like a textbook narcissist.

Embarrassed-Tune9038 · 2023-09-30T13:45:19+00:00

No wife! No unhappiness!

Efficient_Plan_1517 · 2023-09-30T13:48:46+00:00

????

What.

My husband is a smart man. We have different spheres of knowledge, so we're about 50 50 on who is right.

KrazyJazz · 2023-09-30T14:47:40+00:00

Yes. Be a complete and utter doormat until she becomes bored with you and takes off with the kids and half of your shit. Sounds like a great plan. How marvelous marriage seems to be. Good luck to the happy candidates.

dibberdott · 2023-09-30T13:35:17+00:00

Not true, symping and conceding choice and wisdom are not a recipe for a happy wife. When I deal with anyone who is being ignorant or just unreasonably wrong I stand up. Logic must prevail. If not that is how the NAZI 's got their way.

catlovingtwink99 · 2023-09-30T14:32:31+00:00

They always say, happy wife, happy home. I always wondered, what’s a happy husband?

Buckowski66 · 2023-09-30T15:05:33+00:00

But as men we kind of need to get past the bitching part and decide what were going to do about it, no? Is that not a trademark of who we are as problem solves? Besides, the Daily Mail? Lol! Please….

Mountain_Collar_7620 · 2023-09-30T12:34:56+00:00

No- it’s Avoiding All Contact till the Sexbots are ready - then finding them something menial to do on Mars for godemperor Elon in his harem.

What they say - means nothing for you if you’re not in their “arrangement”.

KangarooCrapper · 2023-09-30T14:16:09+00:00

Is your life filled with strife because of your wife?

Correct-Contract742 · 2023-09-30T14:38:54+00:00

“Happy wife, happy life” - How about, kiss my sweet ass? What about the man’s happiness? Is this meant to be equality?

scottieducati · 2023-09-30T14:58:29+00:00

It’s actually mutual respect and communication.

Away_Entrance1185 · 2023-09-30T16:11:43+00:00

This advice only works on a very specific type of woman, a specific type of woman who is incapable of loving anyone other than herself and everyone in her life just exists to affirm how awesome she is.

We all know how to call this type of person, but it's only toxic when a man has this personality.

timascus · 2023-09-30T23:20:18+00:00

What a load of shit

Catdiggity · 2023-10-01T06:07:01+00:00

Is this article a joke? The whole thing is nuts and sounds like an awful dynamic.

aigars2 · 2023-09-30T11:54:40+00:00

It couldn't be further from the truth

peemyguest · 2023-09-30T11:15:44+00:00

The secret is to never marry. Although i dont think should be a secret any longer.

Also, find yourself a cute femboy x

pm_me_your_buttbulge · 2023-09-30T15:48:34+00:00

What's super fascinating about this is lesbians. While the claim is they are more sexually satisfied - romantically they have a higher divorce rate then straight couples and gay men.

My kid is gay. She's learned many of these things first hand. It's unfortunate but it's confirmed, for me, many of the posts here and what studies show.

Bisexuals are probably the worst for her though. Spoiled and entitled.

Creski · 2023-09-30T13:31:51+00:00

Two theories to arguing with women, neither one works.

HanEyeAm · 2023-09-30T15:19:32+00:00

TBF, that is gender neutral and specifies that "somebody" needs to be right, not always the woman.

It happens to be the wife in this story, but there are still a lot of "father knows best" families out there.

ComradeRandy · 2023-09-30T16:52:54+00:00

This is a terrible idea for a marriage; a marriage takes two equal partners. If you are mature enough to marry somebody, you need to be mature enough to communicate your differences in thought and opinion. If your not, don't get married.

r_c2999 · 2023-09-30T18:23:06+00:00

television is plagued with kind of content

average_texas_guy · 2023-09-30T19:03:32+00:00

Who has time for this kind of bullshit? Maybe act like an adult and tell him what you want.

One year, I'd asked: 'What do you want for Christmas?' She'd replied: 'Babe, let's not do presents this year. It's too much. Christmas is just for the kids.' You live and learn. I now know that 'Let's not do presents' means 'You definitely need to get a present, just a different type of present'.

It's a minefield, and you need to be a mind-reader. Does she want presents? Does she not want presents? What sort of presents? I get it wrong most of the time, and sometimes she ends up in tears.

Spare_Development615 · 2023-09-30T20:18:10+00:00

Feminists call that "coercive control" when a man does it.

Glum_Rent_9765 · 2023-09-30T20:22:25+00:00

Honestly, they just keep milking and milking the shit out of this. I just can't anymore.

another-cosplaytriot · 2023-09-30T21:55:18+00:00

The happiest marriage is no marriage.

gentrifiedplug · 2023-09-30T22:59:33+00:00

There are two people in a relationship; one of them is right, and the other one is male. painful shit.

psycobillycadillac · 2023-10-01T03:26:30+00:00

When her friends become our friends. Because yours are bad influences.

Sunociva1 · 2023-10-01T04:04:31+00:00

It's true, my wife started working as a sped teachers aid and ever since, she has been getting more and more feminist... Now the only way to keep it semi peaceful is to give her all she wants. Can't divorce here, with the bias courts we have, I'd be broker than broke. #cheaper2keeper.

LouisdeRouvroy · 2023-10-01T05:18:10+00:00

Kevin Samuels' SIGN language:

Shame, Insult, Guilt, and the Need to be right.

Boy was he spot on...

GlassHalfFull132 · 2023-10-01T12:21:56+00:00

The only reason they're not fighting is because her boyfriend keeps her satisfied.

DecimatingRealDeceit · 2023-10-01T12:36:55+00:00

Tl;dr : '' Bow down to the { divine ( lol ) Femininity }^TM and be the Thrall for her ''

Angry_Angel3141 · 2023-10-02T18:21:28+00:00

Having been married to a female narcissist, I can absolutely, unequivocably assure you this does NOT work. The more right they "appear", the more unhappy they get. Anyone that demands or even thinks this is an emotional and moral child in an adults body.
