I was at dinner tonight, observing people and listening to conversations around me, much like I do at every meal, and a particular conversation really bothered me. A group of men were talking, and one was telling the others how forgetful his wife or girlfriend is. She would talk about how good a movie was that they had just seen and how much she liked it. He would remind her that they had seen it before and she would say she didn't remember ever seeing it. He then bragged about how he uses this to his advantage. His example was that he never buys her flowers and when she makes a remark about it he replies, "Yes I did, just the other day but you just don't remember it like you don't remember most things." She would say, "I guess I do forget a lot of things" and his buddies laughed and congratulated him for having a Barbie brain for a girl. I felt sorry for the girl, for being in a relationship with such a dick. And I was angry at the friends for re-enforcing his behavior. We men should never expose our significant others weaknesses to our friends or co-workers; I mean never ever. It doesn't honor them in any way, and would more than likely crush their spirit if they were aware we were talking about them that way.
Honor your relationship by not blasting your spouse's weakness.
