Did you ask her what she meant? Was that a compliment or was it a dig?
Don't be offended, HD, I am not picking on your wife, but let me ask a few questions.
Does she belittle you often?
Are you often the object of her disdain?
Does she feel free to discuss the "ineptitude of men" or otherwise man bash with you?
Are you letting her step all over your boundaries? Do you ever tell her to stop, mid sentence?
Let me remind you of a couple of things that you already know.
Regardless of which politic bent a person is, a few facts remain indisputable. Women and Men are two sides of the same coin. Neither is better than the other, BOTH have strengths and weaknesses. Playing up those weaknesses for the purpose of control is WRONG. Furthermore, every single person on this planet has something that they do well. Digging out fault in a person in a non-constructive manner is simply unnecessary.
If my wife likes the way I smell, she can say so. If she has a history of liking the way I smell after I have been working hard outside, then she smiles and tells me I smell manly, it is a compliment. If on the the other hand, my wife has a history of not liking men in general and tells me I smell manly, there would be swift action on my part to determine exactly what she meant.
Just my $0.02 worth, HD.
Please know, I am pulling for you! -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
