Husband’s opinion?

NC incase family member recognises this

Today’s reminder that “ask your husband what he thinks” is still alive and well in 2025.
The context was I suggested shortening an email.
The suggestion came from a female family member who knows my qualifications.
My husband does not work in this field. I do. But sure, let’s consult the nearest man.
(my DH laughed at the suggestion with significant eye rolling too btw)

So my question is:
IABU - I should let his member give its opinion
or
YANBU - I should reply with scorn

Did you get his opinion before this post? It might have helped.

You suggested shortening an email? And a female relative also suggested this. What? Are you the female relative? What does your field and/ or husband have to do with your identity crisis?

I think yabu and they were just including the other person in the conversation.

I’m sorry I literally don’t understand this post, like the way it’s written. I can’t understand if you were asking your husbands opinion on shortening an email? Or asking a woman

That is very clear, thank you.
