Dd had an eye appointment today as we thought we saw a slight squint and want to get it sorted earlier rather than later, whilst in there the lady asked me about family history I mentioned that several family members including myself have a lazy eye to which partner piped up " you don't have a lazy eye " aibu to think he just basically called me a liar!! I felt bloody stupid! I have got a lazy eye I had it operated on as a toddler, patches and glasses as an adult if I don't wear my glasses I get bad headaches on one side, my mum can still see it roll if I'm knackered!!
I couldn't help but bite back and say you didn't know me as a child, come out of there feeling really stupid! Blush

I would have said, 'With the greatest respect darling (other endearments are available), you weren't around when I was a toddler and had the operation.'

Erk my ex was a bit like this, would never believe anything I said and I was constantly Googling stuff to prove I was right. He once didn't believe burpees were a thing so I had to find a video of someone doing them. Why would I invent burpees? And why would you invent having a lazy eye?

My DH does this sort of shit, feels like he’s being really helpful... I told him and told him. The. I started with sarcastic replies. It made me look like an utter cow, but I refused to continue with him telling me he knew more about me than I did.

Thankyou for your replies, it's almost like he knows best attitude, he said he didn't mean it like that he just meant that I don't have one now, it's the talking over me and making out I'm lying that got to me!! Xx

Don't take him to appts with you any more.

Tell him he can no longer be trusted to come to appointments anymore because he’s likely to give the wrong information.

Make sure you say something to assert yourself every time he does this. He will eventually feel stupid. You can even tell him that people will think he’s a bit strange or stupid (which would be the truth).

One of those situations where stopping mid sentence, giving him a hard stare, followed by 'anyway' (emphasis on the N) and repeat whatever you were saying.

Polkadot, yes, re yr last post. And that's what being assertive as TheDog's suggestion is needed.
