The Double-Standard Rant

LOL! Good rant.

Sometimes that partner is just not being reasonable. Likewise not everything a spouse tackles with their partner is tackled appropriately and reasonably. We all at times operate to a doublestandard: it comes from having an individual perspective on the world. One can instantly see what one percieves to fair in regards one's own situation, but may not instantly percieve what's fair or not for someone else.

However, when called on it, shown it... time to own it.

WTF is the deal with accepting compliments from total strangers, acting like they are manna from heaven, and treating mine like lies from the lips of a demon?! When I got pissed about this, she got upset... I'm a bad person for being pissed because she is upset because I'm a liar, but not really.. WTF!!!
Wimmin' are fucking crazy!

See... I done figured it all out.

Welcome to the Cellar, suncrafter.

rkzenrage, you just think you've got a handle on it, but you don't. Every time you think you've got the answer, they change the question.
Besides, you ain't normal, and you know it. You should take that as a compliment.

That is my point... I am not normal. If she is wearing something that does make her ass look fat I ACTUALLY TELL HER "THAT MAKES YOUR ASS LOOK FAT"... So, when I tell her she looks great, she looks fucking great... but it does not matter. I'm chopped liver. I'm not giving her any more damn compliments and not telling her how she looks in SHIT any more, until she is straight with me.
