I told my dad about this phenomenon and his response was “that can’t possibly happen THAT often,” and was flabbergasted when I told him “you literally just did it.” 😂

My husband of 20 years. Every. Single. Thing. I. Say. He invalidates, argues, denies, questions, second guesses. Wait did I say husband? I mean ex husband.

I looked him straight in the face and tell him "call somebody you actually respect and when they tell you I'm right you can apologize"

I point it out to my husband every time he does this because he didn't believe me about how often his first instinct is to immediately disagree. He's embarrassed about it now.

And then maybe 6 months from now after they learn or read the same information suddenly it’s their idea. Then gaslight you that you never said that. I can’t even…

I realized this when I saw how Jon Stewart talks to women. He’s attentive and lets them speak, laughs at their jokes and I thought “why is this so fulfilling???? Oh.”

Also, you notice they immediately start thinking of their abusive response the second they hear one word they don’t like, so they don’t bother to listen to 90% of what you just said. You can literally watch the little wheels turning in their head while you are finishing your sentence.

This, mixed with immediate dislike of something I was excited about, or want to try/do/experience. That will really start to kill a persons soul. 😭

Saw a dog and said it was a beautiful mastiff. Husband laughed and said, “St. Bernard” and told my kids I was wrong. Dude walking the dog came over and talked to the kids. It was a mastiff. This happens ALL THE TIME.
