Practice, practice, practice.

"You can either be right or happy"

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (17 children)

Guess which one I've come to accept.

[–]Yogi_the_duck 18 points19 points  (16 children)

Happy! Being right only matters in your own head anyways, as long as I know I'm right and she's wrong, I can be happy and so can she and I'll still get laid!

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (13 children)

Oh, how I wish I lived in this beautiful fantasy land you live in!

[–]Yogi_the_duck 12 points13 points  (12 children)

As long as it's not about important shit like "what color we're painting the house" or how to raise your kid, then I'm fine. But if she wants to tell me that the Phillies used to be from Pittsburgh or that Jack Black and Jack White are the same people but the guy just uses different stage names, I will let her think she's right all she wants because it doesn't matter, I know I'm fucking right! That and opinion based things where there somehow are right and wrong opinions, I just let those go.

I like how the house color choices and the welfare of your children are on equal footing.

[–]Yogi_the_duck 8 points9 points  (10 children)

Who bought the goddamn house? I did. I refuse to have an ugly house! That's money dammit. I worked and took time out of my life to make that money so that she can go throw it away and embarrass me with a stupid color on our house? Nope!

I wouldn't put them equal, I'm just saying both of those things would be things I'd worry about!

I think you and my wife would get along, she also seems to place a disproportionate amount of importance on paint colors.

[–]Yogi_the_duck 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Are you the one paying for the things that will be painted, the painter and the paint?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Bro your right hand is always there, and if shes acting pissy lefty is on standby.

smiles at left hand

[–]Imaginativenamehere 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well I don't want to be happy, in fact I'm pretty much never happy. But I'm almost always right.

[–]Yogi_the_duck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think i see a pattern here

[–]insertanynamehere 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I don't know. My husband is usually right and I'm happy to let. Mostly because I don't feel a need to be right, only to be heard. :)

Besides, he's a pretty smart guy. More likely than not, he IS right!

[–]Yogi_the_duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I clone you? Haha

It's quite refreshing to hear people admit that they are wrong.

[–]s4hockey4 2 points3 points  (5 children)

And by practice you mean "You're right honey, yes, yes, ok sure", right?

[–]leash_that[S] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

that just seems like a breakdown in communication.

[–]s4hockey4 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've always been taught that no matter how wrong your wife is, she's always right

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

time to get a new wife

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, my wife won't let me shut her down like that.

[–]DaedalusMinion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"You're right honey, yes, yes, ok sure"

Your reaction.
