Tips for Winning Spousal Arguments
Use these techniques and you too can be victorious, lonely and unhappy.
Almost every married couple I know, assuming they’ve been married for more than 15 minutes, has argued/debated over something. In the above cartoon, the debate/argument could revolve around who was responsible for this travel booking. So, stuff happens all the time. Who gets the blame? Let me walk you through a recent discussion my wife and I had while on the road.
My wife has a handicapped parking placard. We briefly could not find said placard. I knew I hadn’t done anything with it. My wife was dubious regarding my innocence. Then came what Alex Jones would call my, “Perry Mason” moment. My wife, when looking for her purse, found the placard. I felt vindicated. Then my wife came up with an argument ninja move.
After I gave her my mandatory, ‘I told you so,” she went into action. She acknowledged that yes, the fact the placard was in her purse proved she was the one who put it away. She then said, it had to have been her because the placard was where it belonged. And I certainly hadn’t put it back in place.
That was amazing, I was falsely accused and even in her concession speech, my wife managed to get a dig in. That’s good arguing. With techniques like this you can argue more successfully. And lose half your stuff in community…
