What do you do when you get misunderstood?

Don’t Defend, explain, excuse, or rationalise as these forms of communication are supplicatory, unattractive and highly beta. Always deflect, agree/amplify, repeat, or exit the situation.

For example yesterday, my wife was screaming at me in front of the kids. This is highly disrespectful and I don’t tolerate it. When she came at me twice, I simply repeated my reasoning. I told her that it’s my house and I’ll masturbate in the hallway whether she likes it or not.

(For any autists, the above story is not true and is simply for laughs. Bless your souls.)

Your response depends a lot on the details so no one can answer this. There is not “RP” response to this situation.

Appropriate responses range from anger to humor to nonchalance.

What do you think whas the right thing to do?

one of the rules in HtWFaIP is "don't condemn, criticize or complain"

Had you followed that simple rule, the rest would never have occurred.

you can't put the shit back in the donkey, so learn your lesson.

when you need/want to condemn, criticize or complain, you can do so indirectly by using a third person or source. you can say that you read or heard x about y from z.
