If you think you have it all covered and your spouse or girlfriend suggest something that would save a little time or an embarrassment down the road, why are you guys offended by that? Are we not entitled to our ideas or our opinion if it helps out in the looog run? We're NOT trying to make ya'll look silly, just trying to help out. Please give us a break and a thank you would be nice instead of an angry spirit. Alot of arguments could be avoided .Help ?

I agree with sometimes its how a woman comments but when she ask a serious question and he gets pissed off because he didn't think of the question first then I would say the mans PRIDE got in the way of his BRAIN and he can stay MAD til his wienne falls off ! ! !

Why shopuld I play the DUM game and have to be pulled down and go through a situation just because he wouldn't respect MY OPINION???????? I totally disagree about just agreeing with him even if he's wrong especially if I have to suffer also in the looong run. Get a life Girlie !! Pride always comes before a FALL. . . . . .

I love it when a woman has an opinion. Maybe I'm in the minority. If I were to ask a question, it means that I would be interested in what she has to say. The bible tells how a man and a woman should be "equally yoked". I think that is important.

I've never had this with any man that I was involved with and certainly not with my love. If he were to treat the words I say as garbage simply because I have a vagina and he has an all mighty penis, I'd tell him off for being a sexist retard. I bet you're going for the traditional family? Mommy at home and Father out at work? It wouldn't be suprising at all especially if he's the type of moron to insist upon it and convince you of such. At any rate, whether that be true or not do go find yourself a real man. The guy is a prick.

Ever heard the expression "it's not what you say, it's how you say it?" Unfortunately, a lot of women don't grasp that concept.
It's one thing to make a suggestion - it's another thing to nag a guy, or make him feel stupid and inadequate. And a lot of women have a knack for giving their "suggestions" in a way that makes a man feel like a total idiot!!
You've got to learn how to give your advice in a way that doesn't make a man lose face, or embarrasses him, or makes him feel stupid. Otherwise, a man will get mad and he will not listen.

A womans opinion is better received when it is not constantly being thrown out. It starts sounding like griping and less like an opinion. Pick your times when your opinion might be useful, instead on just saying it because you have one.

With some women exaggeration is the key component of arguments or us being upset. Not to mention the way women present things sometimes also has an effect that makes it difficult to accept opinions. I'm not singling you out I'mjst talking in general and it doesn't apply for all situations.

Princess,
Lucid suggestions are always welcome, and, with me, anyways, are always received without a 'mean spirit'...
...However,
When said comments come in where the female (or male, for that matter) chimes in with a comment where it's obvious the person has not heard pertinent bits of the conversation, I DO get annoyed.
My advice...if you were not present when the conversation started (or if he wasn't speaking to/asking you in the first place), just leave it alone.

Maybe it's only some guys? My husband's pretty good about accepting my opinion on things. I also try to keep an open mind to his suggestions. That's what marriage is all about..compromise.

I hear you loud and clear, and hubby and I sometimes have this issue, and he has tried to explain it to me as best he can. Some men like to be looked up to, be the problem solver, be trusted etc. When we have our own opinion, instead of it simply being that, they sometimes take it as a criticizm and feel that you don't look up to them, don't trust them, don't believe in them etc. SO, be a smart woman, and sometimes just keep your yap shut, and also, be sure to praise your husband when he comes up with a good idea. Men like to be admired and needed, just like women do. Don't be stubborn like me and INSIST that you are right. Be smart and realize that a little diplomacy on your part will work WONDERS for your relationship.
