This is a strange way to be mean to your wife? I don't get it. EDIT: sorry! Somehow missed the "forget" part of the sentence.
I don't eat fruit, I don't like the taste. When I see dried mangoes, I buy them for my girlfriend because she loves them.
- PacifyFish 9y agoHe forgot to buy them. He's not being mean, he's being human.
- pdonis 9y agoForgetting to buy them, yes, that's human. Trying to cover up instead of just saying "Sorry, honey, I forgot", that's at least tending toward mean.
- khedoros1 9y agoPeople sometimes get unreasonable about the things that they love. I just assumed that he was attempting to deflect her potentially unreasonable reaction.

- jcadam 9y agoNo malice is intended when I forget the avocados. I just forget them. And then I feel bad.
- mlevental 9y ago>I don't eat fruit, I don't like the taste. you can't be serious. you don't like any kind of fruit?
- rexpop 9y agoThis person habitually attempts to deceive their wife, and from their own account describes her feeling antagonized. I don't think they are "forgetting avocados" so much as they are bullying their partner with plausibly deniable emotional abuse.
- yetanother1980 9y agoHis wife forces him to be silent - which is actual abusive behaviour.
- rosser 9y ago"stops speaking to me for a whole five minutes" != "forces him to be silent" There is no abuse in this anecdote, either way. There's some passive-aggressiveness, and some dismissal, but neither quite rises to the level of abuse.
- yetanother1980 9y agoOops I miss-read that. I do find the fact that people are accusing him of abusive behaviour here pretty scarey though.
