It happens more often than expected… 👀
If you and your partner can’t talk to each other like adults in a relationship … it won’t be a relationship for very long.

Are the straights okay?
I’ve learned to ask “what’s on your mind?” instead. It’s less accusatory than assuming something is wrong.
Yeah, I’ve used “Talk to me, what’s going on?”
Full-on witchcraft advice going on here, lads. Stay away.
Shh!
There’s a relationship cheat code I use all the time. It usually stops everything in it’s tracks and sets you on a much more positive path, especially if they’re not used to you doing this. When you find yourself at that point in a conversation where you’re about to shout something like “OH FFS! WHAT’S THE MATTER NOW?!” instead… you pause, look at them, tilt your head a bit, narrow your eyes thoughtfully and say as calmly as you can “What do you need?”. No matter how mad they get after that you just keep asking that question until they respond to it. If you haven’t done that before it may take them a while to even notice you asked that question. Just keep going. Oh also top tip… when they tell you what they need don’t invalidate it. It’s hard for a lot of people to directly tell you what they actually need. If they do then they’re trusting you to listen. Breaking that trust will take you right back to square one.
I get it! Wife bad! ROFLOL
Wait - I am muted on a conference call. Let me unmute to laugh.
Wife bad, amirite?
I wonder if she gets quiet because she’s brought up the same, exact issue multiple times and she’s tired of her concerns being invalidated and forgotten as “women, am I right?”
This can go both ways. She could be upset he’s not a mind reader, or she could be upset that he doesn’t give a fuck. A " Schrodinger’s Douchebag" if you will.
Everybody Sucks Here
Yeah, uh, communication is an important part of a relationship. If your partner gets mad because you ask “what’s wrong” then you might need to have a talk with them. If they refuse then it’s probably time to walk away.
I hope you one day realize that only a subset of possible partners are like this and that you can find more emotionally intelligent people if you’re willing to spend time and effort putting yourself out there. It will improve your life greatly in the long run
Another one for the blocklist
I was worried when I saw so many comments but yall are aight here.
Also you should block me, but for much different reasons.
Yeah ! Misogyny ! Welcome to my block list, OP !
People mass downvoting a meme is classic Lemmy
a post is only worth upvoting if it says “trans rights” and adds nothing more of relevance, please understand
True. Nonetheless, “women bad” memes aren’t a valid replacement. Please, kindly proceed to 9gag.com to find a community of like-minded individuals.
Incel gonna incel.
An incel wouldn’t even be having the conversation lol
This meme is an incel adjacent talking point. Half of the rhetoric of incels is just attacking strawmen about women.
and the OP is a troll who’s been posting various levels of mask-on to full-racist memes all over Lemmy.
Is this a strawman?
No, there are a number of women (and men) who get mad because someone didn’t read their mind about what they wanted. It only becomes shitty when people assume it applies to everyone of one gender.
When you ask [him]: “What’s wrong?” and [he] answers: “Nothing.” but [he] gets mad, when you don’t inquire.
you don’t even know what this word means
Inconceivable!
