Accurate.

Truth. I don’t speak anymore. I just glare.

And cut off. The repair will require groveling, a kitchen remodel or a ski trip to Chamonix.

After 48 years, my best advice is to call when you are going to be late.

Can confirm.

If it’s just “Fine”…you’re dead. ☠️ 🤣🤣🤣

Then just say it. I'm tired of passive aggressiveness being normalized. Sorry. I know you were just doing a little joke

When she says, “Whatever,” you are done for.

Ora, dimmi?! Adesso?!! È già scappata con il suo produttore musicale. 💔❤️‍🩹😞🤷🏼‍♂️

Right up there with this nugget of wisdom, is when she responds..."Wow!", also not good!!!

And maybe means no.

Its too late to even make a will.

I learned that "fine" means fucked-up, insecure, neurotic and emotional.

I’m fine’ often means ‘I don’t feel safe enough to be honest.’ In relationships, safety > silence.

Along with: Its fine It’s nothing It doesn’t matter If these are followed by the words “have you seen the shovel”, slowly exit the premises & proceed to the nearest retail outlet that sells her fav chocolate, wine etc

The problem is even if you know that you are still probably screwed. If you ask what's wrong again you may die, if you leave her alone you're done. The only real hope is ice cream and pray she's not upset because she thinks she's fat.

Indeed. Fortunately, I’ve only heard it a few times in my 40 year marriage and have been able to carefully walk backwards out of the minefield.
