I’m sure you’ve heard any number of guys talk about how they don’t get women. Generally speaking, I find that if you just try to be a good listener instead of a problem solver, you’re 90% there.
However, lately I’ve found a plethora of random topics that my wife no longer sees my opinion valid on. The dilemma is that I don’t think she knows what those subjects are until they come out of her mouth, so I tend to walk blindly into these topical landmines.
Here’s an example of one of these exchanges that happened just last week:
Jenn: (looking in the car mirror) "Do you think I’m getting more freckles?"
Me: "If you are, I hadn’t noticed them. But I think your freckles are adorable, so if the question is are you looking increasingly more adorable, I’d have to say yes."
Jenn: (Looking at me like "I just tried to belch the national anthem) Ugh. What do you know? You’re my husband… you supposed to say stuff like that."
See what I mean? Getting married completely killed my point of view. I’d have to bring in a series of experts, a team of analyst, and a Simon frickin’ Cowell before she would have considered my opinion valid. Truly boggles the fucking mind.
