Stop arguing with me, you KNOW I'm right.

So my husband is arguing with me about something, but I know I'm right. After going through the drawers of a dresser 3 times already, he still insists that a tag is in one of those drawers. But I've already told him that it's not. Since I've already looked though the drawers and so has he, he still insists that it's there. Ugh, this is really making me angry, he doesn't listen to me. I'm tired of him not listening to me. Why are some men like that? And he's still going through the drawers now saying that he doesn't know where it is. So he's finally admitting that it's not in the drawers, but doesn't know where it is now. Sometimes I wonder about him.

oh kris he h e lol lol you are never going to win on that one,I think it something printed on their genes that they are always right when it comes to something that belongs to them ,even when you show them they are not right. My husband used to be like that. He came into the living room and was turning thing upside down. He was looking for his glasses and asked me "where did you put them, they were on the top of the bookcase. where did you put them? " I had replied" I did not touch your glasses. they are where ever you put them." So after an hour of looking in every corner and finally sulking he went off and came back . He put his hand up on top of his head. I looked up at him andurst out laughing." Yep they are where you put them". He stalked outside and yelled at the dog. Men. about anything else he was a love.

Hep I think you might be right Hatley. Maybe it also has something to do with testosterone.

And he said he put it in a drawer. Never found it anywhere, but did find some other things I've been looking for for a long time now.

The problem is, sometimes I look for something where I know it is, and I look again, and I still overlook it. Then when I give up, replace it, or do without it, it shows up, when I am not frantically looking. However, since you both have looked, and still do not see it, It probably is not there. I think he could respect you when you say it is not there, but that seems to be a kind of guy thing.

It has to do with the frustration of thinking one put something in the same same spot each time, to find it is not there. Therefore, continuing to remember that is where it was last makes one want to argue out of frustration. I myself do this all the time where I know something was last there and will argue to no end that is where it is at and then it is not. lol Take it a bit easy as you know it happens like this with him sometimes so simply when he is looking for something and you have already checked let him take the time to go check for himself to later see he was incorrect.

PRide! Some people are just full of it and hate to admit that they've made a big mistake. Some husbands are like that as well, always feeling superior and the wife should always submit no matter what. Hope that despite of that you still have a voice in your family.

Well generally men think that they are more superior than women. Based on my experience in my married life, I can say that men think that they are the boss in the family even if they are only stay at home husbands. You know what in times of quarrel, this is what a man usually say, "even if you are supporting this family and you own everything i'm still the king of this house". See how I hate this statement. In fairness to other men, this only concerns me. But i have circle of friends who also agree with me along this line. We feel the same way about men.

I'm sorry i guess I'm out of topic this time. I only wanted to show that men don't accept that they are wrong they tend to argue for what they think might be right.

this happens in every home. we forget things and search in places connected or unconnected. It is human. But we should not blame others for such lapses on our part. take it easy policy will strengthen the ties.

Oh how funny. I wonder how many times he has torn that drawer apart looking got that? That's really funny. I've looked and looked for things that I know aren't where I'm looking, but I don't know where else to look so I just keep searching areas that have already been searched forty-eleven times! What's wrong with us?

Well, it is not just men that are stubborn. If my man says to may he had looked somewhere I always look myself. I always look for the things I lost. And when he tells me he has lost something, I will look for him. Why? you ask? Because if looks for something, he rearranges everything and next time when I want something, nothing is were it used to be. I always know where things are, except when he had lost something, than I can't find anything. I also don't trust him finding things for me because he tends to overlook things. So I am as stubborn as a donkey but hey I know where my stuff is. ;)
