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 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 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.

My man will do this then I’ll hear him bringing the convo up to his friends later presenting MY POINT as his original thought

My life for 30 years. When it was brought up in therapy, he immediately said, “I don’t think that’s true.” The female therapist and I just looked at each other.

My husband immediately says, well no, everytime. Then he’ll just rephrase what I said in his own words. 😳 I JUST SAID THAT!!!

Men who do this don’t like you . In fact they find you annoying or think that you’re a know it all and can’t wait to get the opportunity to humble you . It’s a real thing & you see it . Don’t be naive - Run .

Does anyone have a sharp response for when we notice this behavior? To burst their ego quickly?
PS: I refuse to shack up with my man. He loves to hear himself talk and advertise how smart he thinks he is.

that is my ex. he would know EXACTLY what I meant, but he would argue about semantics. there was a flaw in every idea or suggestion.

Also, an idea is never good unless one of his man friends says it

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…

and when not doing that, it's purposefully misunderstanding you.

I’m a researcher and my husband does this to me when I talk about my discipline. It’s beyond frustrating. I spent 6 years in graduate school and published in peer-reviewed journals. He still thinks he knows more/better than me.

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. 😭
