Damn wife is bossy lately.


Well, are you lazy, getting fat, and have generally no direction in your life?

Are you spending your time pursuing your goals?

If so, laugh at her. Go about your business. If she doesn’t stop, leave the house. You’ve got better shite to do than listen to a harpy nag.

If not, then she’s acting that way because her beta husband hasn’t been doing his job of caring for her.

I took my lumps so I could teach y’all the right way to do this.

Women argue with emotion because they’re better at it. They know that if they can bait you into emotional arguments, that you’ll eventually say or do something you’ll regret which they can use as emotional blackmail to win. If they fail to provoke an emotional response, then they will resort to what they’re least comfortable with: honest self-evaluation and logic-based discussion.

Women bully men emotionally because it works. Every time they’re successful, they lose respect for the man they bully. If it doesn’t work, they gain respect and change tactics. Women lose attraction for men that they don’t respect and gain attraction for men they do respect. The less they can bully you through emotional manipulation, the more they will respect and be attracted to you.

If you feel that you are on the verge of reacting emotionally, don’t say anything, just walk away.

Nope. My wife nags some, but it's usually deserved because I'm a procrastinating sumbitch.

Man up, take control and give her the goods when you want to. This isn’t complex. Assert yourself

Remember, if your wife suddenly changes behavior or tactics, there could be any number of reasons why:
1. She was always like this, but kept a mask on to get married like a good little sociopath.
2. Something is going really wrong for her at work that is making her feel powerless. She is taking it out on you so she can feel control in her life.
3. She is frustrated because you’re not making enough effort to court her anymore. She’s been dropping subtle hints about going out or something that you haven’t been picking up on because you’re not a goddamn mindreader.
4. You legitimately aren’t doing enough of the chores, or at least you’re not doing them without her needing to ask. Women want their wants and needs met before they even know they have them let alone have to ask for them. Anticipate and be proactive, not reactive.
5. She feels guilty about something and is covering for it.
6. Something dumb with her mother.
7. Midlife crisis caused by looking at her girlfriends trips on instagram

Believe me, it does. The right path is never the easiest one.

Too many men avoid standing up for themselves just because it’s “not worth a fight”.

You can’t choose every hill to die on, but you have to stand your ground when something is truly bothering you. You have to be willing to deal with the argument to get to what you need for both of y’all to be happy. Just sucking it up doesn’t help anyone, as you’re just going to resent her and she’s going to lose respect and keep pushing you.

That works to, but you still get yelled at.

With the boat you can just go fishing, and you can keep it when she leaves. Cant keep the tits.
