"Are You Mad At Me?"

positivelyfourthstreet's picture

One of my H's regular tools.

Out of the blue, he'll keep on asking me if I'm mad at him. This is intended to start a fight or something. I say no, he insists.

"Well, you sound mad. I don't like your tone of voice. You sound like you're mad at me."

Twice this morning and once this afternoon when he called.

This afternoon ought to be a barrel of laughs after he comes home.

FML.

SMH.

Hahaha!!!! Too funny. Bet it works though! Im gonna try this next time my DH asks me that a bunch of times (im usually pissy about something when he asks me this and of course assumes he is who Im pissy with-not usually him).

Turn it around on him....YOUR tone of voice sounds like you are mad.

Lord I cannot stand the gaslighting some of these men resort to. Be a grown up and discuss YOUR feelings, don't project them onto everyone around you!

I always ask him, "Why would I be mad?"
Either A. He will be smart and STFU.
Or B. They end up screwing themselves by bringing up something you have every right to be mad about.

My FDH does this. He admits that he does it for my attention and to strike up conversation. lol I don't understand that...but w/e. In the past couple months, I've started doing it too. He's been doing this less since.
