Why do men always say NO to anything a wife or partner asks them.?

Question

No, not talking about sex. they say no to everything!!!!

Answer 1

Carmella, I think the majority of men are controlling, it's just that each of them have a different agenda, it's a guy thing. Let me tell you my husband is very controlling, it is so obvious to everyone. Everything that comes out of his mouth where I'm concerned is "No", or it's always on the negative scale, depending on our conversation. I think he is this way because I am so much more educated than he is, also I earn probably 3 times more than he does. I think he would like for me to appear just the little wife, or a little bimbo, and I refuse. So if you are a wife or partner, and this is happening to you, then you need to stand your ground. Don't argue, or get angry when he appears to disrespect your views, then it will make you look stupid, dumb, or insecure. You do not have to be highly educated to present yourself as a smart woman, it's just in the way you choose to demand respect. If this question is about spending money, or buying frivolous things that you actually don't need, than maybe you need to say "No" to yourself, before he does. Now if you earn your own money, than buy what you want if it's within reason.

I am a man and I don't, but use so many do, especially if they are out shopping with their wife, she will say do you think this looks good on me and he says what do youu need that for you have enough clothes. OR, we really need a new rug in the living room, yes but not today come on lets go! Yea good question you hit the nail right on the head! Seems like they are always in a hurry to go nowhere!

Answer 3

It's the way they were raised. For some reason they think if they didn't come up with the idea then it isn't a good one. If you have this problem then I suggest that you turn it around and make it sound like his idea. If they think that it was their idea they are much more likely to say yes.

Answer 4

I think you may be generalizing here. It sounds like you and your partner need to work on your communication skills. Aside from that, your question is quite vague so I'm sorry that I have nothing further to say.

Answer 5

Because everything a wife asks for costs money, how would you feel if the situation was reversed?

Answer 6

what do you want for tea? NO!

i bet he doesnt say no to everything lol i just think you might not like the answers he is giving you?

and not all men say no to everything, in fact im sure there are not any men who say no to everything!

Answer 7

because they think by giving us the right to speak is enough to make us happy
not men hating but they have excuses for everything they do (it's different for me I'm a man) wow how many times can one hear that lol

Answer 8

Wow, what an eyeopener... All those questions I've replied to my missus and all the time I was just saying "No no no no no ...."

Does it happen when I talk to everyone, or just her?

My God, am I mad? What are these other words I hear coming out of my mouth?

Aggghhhh!

Answer 9

You must have asked the wrong question to the wrong man. Cause not all men say no.. mine say yes quite often.

Answer 10

Because you're asking us to do something, that would mean we'd have to stop doing what we were already doing, and what we were already doing was what we had taken the time to do because that's what we actually wanted to do. We don't want to do what you're asking us to do, or else that's what we'd be doing. So you see the logic in saying "No".

Duh
