What does one even say to this?

I mean it’s funny and totally how my brain is speaking at times, but realistically, no- it’s not good.

It’s mind games, it’s passive aggressive, it’s “two wrongs don’t make a right”.

It relays on negativity, judgement of character, intimidation, and fear, all of which develop negatively on both the giver and receiver.

It’s damaging to your relationship, there’s no benefit. It won’t get him to open up, it’ll hinder communication further between you both.

Bullying in and of itself can cause depression, by lowering his self esteem.

So, I don’t care to get into hypotheticals usually but the “crypto” comment she made stood out, because she pulls from a side of this (hypothetical) man’s assumed hobbies, interest, and financial capabilities. That’s a very targeted, intentional and degrading choice, completely irrelevant to tying shoes, the task at hand they’re hypothetically arguing about.

So when does it reach the point of targeted attacks? When does it go from trying to make someone look in the mirror to descructive? And when, if you’re doing this routinely- do you notice the shift from combating weaponized incompetency, to something completely different?

It’s not helpful for anyone, it’s the devil on your shoulder you shouldn’t be listening to. It’s mean, it’s bullying and we were all taught at a young age that bullying is wrong.

If your marriage is that dysfunctional, don't stoop to the level of your neglectful partner. It won't even work.

If my goal is to appear incompetent so I don't have to do anything, and your response to that is to call me a big dummy, is that supposed to hurt me? The goal is to be a dummy, yes. Dummies have easy lives.
