NC as could be outing. I lost it with my OH the other day when I said that I started secondary school in ‘x’ year and he argued with me saying I didn’t. He didn’t know me when I was a child so could have no recollection of my school days. He argues with absolutely everything that comes out of my mouth. I could say ‘the sky is blue’ and he’d surely be able to come up with some reason why it isn’t.
Why are some people like this? I’ve always thought it must be some type of complex. Having to be the right one in every bit of conversation. My DM’s partner is very similar. I’ll say something like ‘they’re building a new apartment block there’ and he’ll respond with ‘they’re not they’re doing x, y and z with it’. Or the worst is I said something about my own house that he had barely stepped foot in and he had the cheek to be all ‘nooo it’s not like that at all! That’s not why that is like this etc’. I find talking to these types of people very exhausting and have just given up conversing with my OH and DM’s partner. I’ll throw in an AIBU to think you can have a conversation with someone without ‘trying to be right’?
