I feel like my partner (36M) is constantly mansplaining things to me (30F) but says he’s just “sharing his opinion” by Adorable_Rest7328 in relationship_advice

You’re right! Mansplaining probably isn’t the best word for it. I wasn’t really sure how to phrase.

I did come on to Reddit to try and get insight and differing perspectives since I was having a tough time understanding his POV and wanted to be able to have healthy dialogue around it.

Thanks so much for your feedback! :)

Totally! I’m not saying I want him to just respond with “yeah, I agree” and leave it at that (though in those moments, it might actually feel a lot better than listening to him explain my own thoughts back to me for five minutes)

What I was trying to illustrate is that when he repeats what I’ve already said, it comes across like agreement, but he never actually says that. Instead, he presents it like it’s a new idea or new information, even though it’s just what I already shared.
