I get it that I fulfill some need in him to communicate. I get it that he wants to communicate w/me.
He does this stuff, AFTER, mind you, (some examples of little zingers):
-- As we're walking in the auto shop to drop my car, H - "You could have just told me it's at the corner of x and y, I would have figured it out." (I had told him to call me when he gets close, as it's a little confusing where this place is, and he's not familiar w/area, and is not exactly patient...) Me - NO RESPONSE REQUIRED
-- In the auto shop, Me - "Should I have them do an oil change while they have it?" H - "Well, I have NO idea the last time you had one, since you never have had them reset the warning lights. How can I answer that?" (We discussed this one other time - they can't reset the warning lights because we didn't have the full service done - H didn't want the full service done.) Me - NO RESPONSE REQUIRED
-- Last night at dinner, tasting dip that I made (usually LOVES it) H, "Oh, good the parmesian dip!" (tastes it) "You always have to change things! Now, it's too strong!" Me - "I've used the same recipe every time. It must be you."
-- Last night at dinner, tasting white chicken chili (that HE requested) H, "This tastes NOTHING like it did last time." Me - NO RESPONSE REQUIRED
Now, mind you, he is complimentary, kind (most of the time), etc... but who is like that? He's seen me in the kitchen for almost four hours cooking. Trust me, it is enjoyable, but it's not a party when you're in there four hours... And, I'm not even going to comment on the car thing. I mean, isn't that a guy thing? ALWAYS HAS BEEN! I don't know!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
