Well the point of having a psych degree is not to use “I have a psych degree” as a line of argument, the idea is that you’re trained on how to properly handle people who are behaving emotionally by empathizing with them and finding solutions that work for both parties.
If you just say “I have a psych degree and you don’t, nyeh” then of course you’re not going to convince anybody of anything
10 minutes later she posts on social media about how you are an emotionally abusive monster and every time you had sex with her was now rape (since she regrets it)
That's funny they never will always claiming to not remember details or "I shouldn't need proof for you to believe me." You'll never get your elaboration.
Doesn't work because women operate on emotion rather than logic. That being said if you are a good judge of character and emotionally intelligent enough it really isn't hard to keep a satisfied girlfriend, I just bet most of you are insufferable on the emotional intelligence aspect of things.
The concept of having an argument with a woman as a man is accepting the fact that as a man you enter the argument as a loser no matter the points you make.
But that’s okay because women are complex and intelligent in ways men aren’t, so I understand that I’ve been married 20 years because I know there’s no winning an argument with my wife.
There's three types of relationship arguments. One, you did something wrong. Two, she did something wrong, and three, nothing is actually wrong, but she's emotional.
This is a clear cut case of nothing is wrong, but she's emotional. The important thing to keep in mind with this type of argument, is to never play "ping pong" in this situation. Which means, she's going to accuse you of something, do not return the criticism. Just take whatever she throws at you. Remain calm, like your parents responded to you when you were 6 and throwing a tantrum at home. Just let her vent.
So after she starts crying and yells all this at you. Say something like, "ok, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll keep an eye on it in the future. Any examples you can provide so I know what to look out for?
She'll say something else louder. Respond with, "Oh, I didn't know. Sorry about that".
Let her go. Like when you're fishing, and the fish starts fighting. Don't fight back. Just let it tire itself out. Then, calmly and slowly reel it back in. Just keep saying sorry. At some point, she's going to be blaming you for insane bullshit. So when you reply with "Sorry", she's going to realize she's being crazy. There is now way this will fix your problem. She is not looking for you to apologize, or change your ways. She needs to know you're willing to take her side, against you, and reality itself. She wants to feel supported.
You don't want that. You want her to feel safe venting, and safe expressing herself, but you do not want to support outbursts, because that will increase the prevalence of outbursts.
So treating her like a 6 year old having a tantrum, is exactly what the doctor ordered. You love her, and you're not out to hurt her feelings. It's clear you're staying calm in the face of her storm, and you're not going to freak out too. It doesn't really matter what her complaints are, or how upset she is, or how you respond. It's going to be two or three days til she gets over it. In that time, don't be around. Find shit to do, and give her space. Days later, when she wants to talk about it, just say, oh, no worries, babe, sorry about all that. Lets get icecream. Done. Problem solved. You didn't get in an argument, and you got 2-3 days to yourself. Easy peasy.
Realistically, you lose your shit. Unrealistically, you don’t. No matter how beautiful or talented she is or how happy she makes you at other times, if she gets unreasonable or disrespectful when the temperature rises, you break up.
True partnership means solving problems together, and there will always be problems to solve. If your partner doesn’t have that fundamental ability, any individual outcome to a problem is irrelevant; you’ll have one grand uphill battle for the rest of your life, and that’s before addressing the actual problems at hand.
Yep. This is a person who wants a one-sided relationship with all the power, and if they need to manipulate and abuse you to feel bigger, they're no better than a man who does the same thing. Unless there is a ring on the finger you are not legally obligated to deal with it at all.
only fuckin based answer in this whole thread. i spent a decade plus on toxic skanks who were awful. then i met my wife who ACTUALLY wants to talk through any disagreement etc.
Most peace of mind I have ever had.
been there... 6 year relationship that i didnt realize (due to being young and naive) it was NOT normal to scream at eachother at least once a week then back to "normal". glad i saw the light years back and stopped wasting my own time. glad you did too
Thing is, when you care about the other, you don't want to let things go unresolved. But when the other just escalates and dramatises, that's what happens. Took me way longer than I care to admit for that light to flick on in my head. We were arguing about something minor in the house, like dishes or something, and somehow she managed to pull up my student loans and mock me for having them.
Don't know why, but that was so uncalled for that the switch flipped, and I wondered how the hell it took so long for me to see... She didn't want to move forward and build; she just wanted to break things and throw tantrums.
Not saying I'm perfect by any means, but I can say for sure that I always want to resolve what's bothering those I care about, and this was just unsustainable.
"Please write down exactly what you mean, cause I don't think either of us can effectively communicate with so many emotions on the board for both of us. If you write down your feelings I can spend a good amount of time to process what is going on and be able to try to remedy this situation as best I can. I am only human and I assure you I meant no harm. Lets try our best to actively dispel any miscommunications, if nothing else I hope you can trust me through the communication process cause I love you and I want to make things work."
Yesterday, in the middle of my wife's shindig with her girlfriends I began making scones and they all began to tell me how I was doing it wrong. I told them they were womansplaining scone making to me and they all backed off and then proceeded to say how cute they looked. They came out of the oven perfect and I enjoyed fresh yummy scones with jam and butter. A win for all scone making men out there.
"I am trying my best to communicate with you, If you won't at least reciprocate the same I feel that there is no way we can work through this. I love you but I have to let this relationship go, good bye."
Tru, theres a shocking lack of general writing education in the US atm. Increasing rates of illiteracy and lack of basic reading/writing skill are big causes for concern, some school arent even teaching phonics anymore!
They cut you off before you got to the words “cause I don’t think either of us can effectively communicate…” claiming that they don’t owe anything to be written, does this look like an English class, stop trying to argue and deny everything, etc.
I would respond the same as if she were to claim mansplaining. I doubt I would be in a relationship with someone who is incapable of communicating though.
"Listen sweetheart, sit down and let me explain. I love you endlessly. Stop being so clingy and text me all the time, you know I love you. There is no such thing as GASLIGHTING, AND YOU*RE FUCKING CRAZY WHEN YOU MENTION IT!"
Gaslighting and stonewalling are def things that happen in relationships. Mansplaining is real but it widely misused. But love bombing... I'm convinced is made up by zoomers in order to justify their fear of commitment.
The person who assaults their family, then buys them anything, shows up with gifts, is the most understanding person in the world, completely apologetic. Then they assault their family. Repeat.
Abusive relationships often start with love bombing. If it's being used as a term outside of a cycle of abuse, it's being used incorrectly.
Although having been in a family with that cycle, it would be natural to be suspicious of anyone who was over the top with their gift-giving. It could signify an over-correction based their personal habits honed by being a perpetrator of that abuse cycle. Or they're bad with money. Either way, steer clear.
It’s not so much about the reality of these things. It’s about creating a vast vocabulary/lexicon of negative terms and associating them with male prefixes and suffixes.
Giving people an unconscious belief and shaping perceptions through linguistics, that anything male or masculine is inherently bad.
Manspreading, mainspalining, toxic masculinity…
These terms are disgusting, they would have any young boy big growing up, to believe he was born with original sin. Feelings unworthiness and an apologetic-ness for his very existence..
You will soon understand why men are growing up weak and with inferior feelings about themselves.
It’s BY DESIGN. You just TRY to attach some terms to femininity!
They're words used by psychiatrists. Broken relationships usually suffer from similar communication issues, which is why these terms are becoming more commonly known. You thinking they're not real words because you haven't bothered to look up what they mean is actually pretty funny.
lmao those are not words, those are neologisms, invented just to throw around whenever you feel like. They are shibboleths, used in emotionally driven arguments and most have lost their meaning entirely, just like 'incel'. Some people really believe that using these words make you better than others, or have some sort of moral highground.
Those ''words'' are weaponized and used to silence dissident arguments.
''oh you are a man? so whatever you say must be mansplaining''
If you take everything face value you are probably missing the big picture. Also your appeal to authority is pathetic.
I genuinely dont know if you just do not underatand the gist of what the other dude commented or if you're actually a socially inept "ackshually" nerd that you thought this was a good response lmao
You can always identify these women before the end of even one short date. Although this is most women now, you should never move to a second date or anything sexual once you have identified them.
Was with someone like that and the truth is, those are supposed to be 100% show stopping. You aren’t supposed to answer, you’re supposed to stop talking and give her space. It’s what happens when someone can’t emotionally regulate but they’ve had some basic therapy or rehab but don’t know how to apply it properly
The correct response is to look baffled and say, "I—What...?" and just have a complete uncomprehending vibe around you. Act as if the person asking the question is insane (justifiably), and they'll then be forced to explain themselves.
It's based on the 1944 film Gaslight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)
it follows a young woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is descending into insanity.
As a term it's been overused to the point of losing nearly all meaning IMO, but it's not unheard-of for abusers to manipulate their victims in this way, and I don't think it's wholly inaccurate to describe some forms of propaganda along the same lines.
This, racism, "literally Hitler", and ironically violence. They say certain speech (not even threatening a person physically, but say not 'affirming') is equal or worse than physically harming somebody. Also racism is worse today than it was in 1960. These people are regarded, a term that has held its value my entire life.
imagine if a family member kept insisting you did something that you know you didn't do, and then said "Well see that's why you're crazy, you just don't remember."
then claiming you did things to THEM and if you disagree it's proof that you're crazy or losing your mind.
Now they keep this up for months, days, years until you start believing you're losing your mind because you can't recall anything that has happened but they keep telling you it did, and they may get another family member on it. They make sure no one else can bear witness to any of these supposed events, but will tell everyone that you're going crazy. They isolate you and make you feel belittled and small. The goal is control or to get you hauled off to crazy town.
But there is never any actual evidence, no video evidence or recordings of you doing anything. Just their word. Even going as far as claiming you did things when you were out picking up milk.
Where it falls apart is if they slip up and tell you you did something when you were out and about and strangers can verify that you were there when you're being accused of something.
It can be small things too, like the door being locked or unlocked to the house. You could lock a door and the person fucking with your head can go unlock it and claim you did it. The only real weapon against that shit is to start recording your actions and leaving to go back to what you are doing with timestamps. Wait for them to scream foul and tell you you're doing something wrong, show them the evidence. They'll claim you're gaslighting them and fucking with them and that video evidence is proof you're doing things as you needed an alibi to cover your crimes, and will ignore the evidence itself and use the existence of evidence as proof that you did the thing they accuse you of.
That's gaslighting and manipulation in a nutshell.
Because nobody wants to compete for a chance for a girl to humiliate them. Its like, not worth it. Shit is tiring and just a pain to deal with. Rather just have money and be at peace
This is how you know being gay isn’t a choice. We’d all love to just bang our bros and never have to deal with this, but unfortunately we weren’t born with that blessing and must carry the burden of being romantically attracted to women.
But many gay relationships are divided into masculine and feminine partners. Feminine gay men are more woman than women, if you're a masculine being there is no escape.
well obviously fake, but that aside do people get a kick out of pretending to be in a relationship with a person who has zero self respect for herself? pretending online to be in a relationship where
a) thy partner is crazy
b) she has so little self respect that you can tell her to shut the fuck up in a fight and she willingly has sex with thee?
do you ever stop to think about how sad thy life is.
>i apologize for the strange phrasing, i have to get around the auto comment removal system.
No one’s pretending homie, it’s called big dick energy.
I showed this to her and told her she’s crazy and said that after a good dick down she would be over it the next day and she agreed. Was she happy? Fuck no lol. Am I right tho? Fuck yea cause she knows the D is good. She isn’t with me for my charming personality so I budge enjoys it. It’s not lack of self respect, some chicks are just into assholes with good D fam, don’t be a hater.
well obviously fake, but that aside do people get a kick out of pretending to be in a relationship with a person who has zero self respect for herself? like you pretend online to be in a relationship where

I'd like me a thick Kansas City steak, and some country fried potatoes, and a mess of greens. Oh, hell, just forget all that and give me have a martini, straight up, with two olives. For the vitamins.
People who use these terms belong to a cult. All thought and words and actions are filtered through a lens of “men are wrong and women are right.” You can’t reason them out of a position they did not reason themselves into. Getting someone out of a cult is a long and complicated process. It could take years, and they probably don’t want to leave the cult. It’s alluring to believe that everything you do is right and good and nothing is your fault by dint of only your sex. If you choose to stay in the relationship, at least do so with both eyes open.
"Sometimes you're not being gaslighted. Sometimes you're just stupid, wrong, and/or insane."
"If you're so weak-minded that expressions of love or affection keep you from employing critical thinking skills and asserting yourself, is that on me or on YOU? Why am I expecting you to be able to answer my question when you've shown how poor your thinking skills are-I will give you the answer: It is on YOU."
"Why is that a problem? Why do I owe you interactions with me or cooperation from me? Protip: I don't owe you such."
"Men DO often need to explain thing to people-even people that are ALSO men. Why do you want me to treat you differently from men? I thought you wanted to be treated the same as men? Men explain things to men all the time. On the other hand, if I am explaining things to you that men wouldn't need explained to them, and thereby making you feel stupid, perhaps you should consider what you might have done to give that impression."
*braaapp* oh honey I'm shitting *pppptttrrrppppttttttppp* oh baby I'm sorry *ppppttrrrrrrrrpbbbpprrrppppt* sorry what were you saying I couldn't hear you over me *pppphpppbpbpbbbpbbbbppprrrrbbppt* shitting hahaha
You say: “I’m trying to have a conversation with you. I’m open to listening to what you have to say, as long as you can reciprocate and give me a chance to express myself without being interrupted or accused of something.”
Alternatively, stick your dick in her mouth. Bitches can’t talk when they’re slurping cock.
People arming themself with clinical language so they can better emotionally manipulate others is not the intended outcome of therapy. But it does make the people going there feel better about themself.
What's why I despise these kinds of terms and labels, they just always oversimplify issues and makes dialoguing and debating more difficult than it needs to be and dumbs down people having to explain their points
Generic 5 step sequence. Useful whether or not you are right. Realize the problem is not the facts of the thing but the emotional experience of the thing. Goal is to get her to express herself and feel better, without needing to make any concessions or real changes on your part.
What do you mean?
-Get her to vent some of her frustration and surface level thoughts. Get these out of the way
Help me understand where you are coming from.
-Get her to explain a second time. When she talks it through again, invite her to share her feelings. This will help her introspect.
What is this really about?
-She explains how she feels and how its connected to other unrelated things. Acknowledge her feelings and make her feel seen, heard, and understood.
Thank her for telling you these things, apologize for being inconsiderate, promise to be more considerate.
-she will feel relieved and more connected to you. end the conversation here and do something else. Dont insist on your point, you've won.
Change a little as possible. Expect her to be more tolerant and compliant in the future.
likely a transformer. that is woman speak for "i'll wait until i believe youve fucked up again in some menial way and rip you apart once again" fuuuuck that. zero time for that nonsensical crap
Ignore her for a while, play some vidya, relax, and when she finally calms down ask her if she's going to act like an adult or an child. If she keeps up with the antics, then dump her.
All jokes aside though, analyse your actions to see if you actually are doing stuff like that, If not, you have to get the fuck out of that relationship. Speaking from far more personal experience than I ever wish on anyone, women like this will make you fucking miserable further than just your time spent with them.
You're making things up i love you babe even when you're like this. Then you ignore her for a few hours or a day. After that come back and explain to her why her behavior isnt good for us and how she isnt going to do that anymore with reasons and examples in a father lecture slow and low tone.
"Why do you think so little of yourself? You are selling yourself short, I don't know what happened. You think normal affections is irregular like you have had no real love in your life, you think a minor squabble is stonewalling because I'm not only stopping myself from saying stupidity and possibly yourself, you think a simple mistake is some master manipulation because nobody is ever wrong (gaslighting), you think a conversation is mansplaining soley because I am a man. Some man hurt you "
Good luck saying that, you'd have to really tiptoe to get this to work. All 4 at once? Goodbye man.
Walk out the door. You're being manipulated by someone playing victim by accusing you of doing the very thing they are doing to you.
I have lived with someone like this. They will twist things around all damn day and never argue on logic ever. They will turn around and claim they never said something 5 seconds after saying it and say you're crazy then 10 seconds later accuse you of gaslighting them.
I think you just listen. Sometimes what people need is a place to vent and decompress, they're not looking for a debate, but rather comfort in reconciliation, even if it doesn't appear that way to most of you guys' pathetic sensibilities.
And btw, if they're not willing to do the same for you, or reflect on it afterwards, then you're just in the wrong relationship.
I have a theory that we’ve been oppressing gay people for the past 2000 years or so because we were jealous that they didn’t have to deal with women on a romantic level.
I just say "huh?" And pretend to have just woken up, no matter if its 7am or 9pm, until they cry and say I don't care for a couple of hours to the point of exhaustion. Eventually they cave, and I can go drink a beer while doing my weekly challenges in Dota 2, partner still wiping away her tears.
I dated a women that flipped out about nonsense every 3 or 4 days. When she would do it I would say this isn't really working for me, we can casually date still but I don't think we'll ever be a serious relationship. We broke up when I me someone cooler.

There's three types of relationship arguments. One, you did something wrong. Two, she did something wrong, and three, nothing is actually wrong, but she's emotional.
This is a clear cut case of nothing is wrong, but she's emotional. The important thing to keep in mind with this type of argument, is to never play "ping pong" in this situation. Which means, she's going to accuse you of something, do not return the criticism. Just take whatever she throws at you. Remain calm, like your parents responded to you when you were 6 and throwing a tantrum at home. Just let her vent.
So after she starts crying and yells all this at you. Say something like, "ok, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll keep an eye on it in the future. Any examples you can provide so I know what to look out for?
She'll say something else louder. Respond with, "Oh, I didn't know. Sorry about that".
Let her go. Like when you're fishing, and the fish starts fighting. Don't fight back. Just let it tire itself out. Then, calmly and slowly reel it back in. Just keep saying sorry. At some point, she's going to be blaming you for insane bullshit. So when you reply with "Sorry", she's going to realize she's being crazy. There is now way this will fix your problem. She is not looking for you to apologize, or change your ways. She needs to know you're willing to take her side, against you, and reality itself. She wants to feel supported.
You don't want that. You want her to feel safe venting, and safe expressing herself, but you do not want to support outbursts, because that will increase the prevalence of outbursts.
So treating her like a 6 year old having a tantrum, is exactly what the doctor ordered. You love her, and you're not out to hurt her feelings.

Days later, when she wants to talk about it, just say, oh, no worries, babe, sorry about all that. Lets get icecream. Done. Problem solved. You didn't get in an argument, and you got 2-3 days to yourself. Easy peasy.

Yep. This is a person who wants a one-sided relationship with all the power, and if they need to manipulate and abuse you to feel bigger, they're no better than a man who does the same thing. Unless there is a ring on the finger you are not legally obligated to deal with it at all.
DeadFuckStick59@reddit
only fuckin based answer in this whole thread. i spent a decade plus on toxic skanks who were awful. then i met my wife who ACTUALLY wants to talk through any disagreement etc. Most peace of mind I have ever had.
VehaMeursault@reddit
Yeah, I just came from one of those relationships. Lovely woman, but heavily traumatised by her mother as a child. Result? Every problem escalated.
DeadFuckStick59@reddit
been there... 6 year relationship that i didnt realize (due to being young and naive) it was NOT normal to scream at eachother at least once a week then back to "normal". glad i saw the light years back and stopped wasting my own time. glad you did too
VehaMeursault@reddit
Thing is, when you care about the other, you don't want to let things go unresolved. But when the other just escalates and dramatises, that's what happens. Took me way longer than I care to admit for that light to flick on in my head. We were arguing about something minor in the house, like dishes or something, and somehow she managed to pull up my student loans and mock me for having them.
Don't know why, but that was so uncalled for that the switch flipped, and I wondered how the hell it took so long for me to see... She didn't want to move forward and build; she just wanted to break things and throw tantrums.
Not saying I'm perfect by any means, but I can say for sure that I always want to resolve what's bothering those I care about, and this was just unsustainable.
You don't clean yourself of mud by rolling in it.

I am only human and I assure you I meant no harm.

Yesterday, in the middle of my wife's shindig with her girlfriends I began making scones and they all began to tell me how I was doing it wrong.

They came out of the oven perfect and I enjoyed fresh yummy scones with jam and butter. A win for all scone making men out there.

Gaslighting and stonewalling are def things that happen in relationships. Mansplaining is real but it widely misused. But love bombing... I'm convinced is made up by zoomers in order to justify their fear of commitment.
rcn2@reddit
The person who assaults their family, then buys them anything, shows up with gifts, is the most understanding person in the world, completely apologetic. Then they assault their family. Repeat.
Abusive relationships often start with love bombing. If it's being used as a term outside of a cycle of abuse, it's being used incorrectly.
Although having been in a family with that cycle, it would be natural to be suspicious of anyone who was over the top with their gift-giving. It could signify an over-correction based their personal habits honed by being a perpetrator of that abuse cycle. Or they're bad with money. Either way, steer clear.
English_linguist@reddit
It’s not so much about the reality of these things. It’s about creating a vast vocabulary/lexicon of negative terms and associating them with male prefixes and suffixes.
Giving people an unconscious belief and shaping perceptions through linguistics, that anything male or masculine is inherently bad.
Manspreading, mainspalining, toxic masculinity…
These terms are disgusting, they would have any young boy big growing up, to believe he was born with original sin. Feelings unworthiness and an apologetic-ness for his very existence..
You will soon understand why men are growing up weak and with inferior feelings about themselves.
It’s BY DESIGN. You just TRY to attach some terms to femininity!
JovanYT_@reddit

nabiku@reddit
Username not appropriate? Lmao.
They're words used by psychiatrists. Broken relationships usually suffer from similar communication issues, which is why these terms are becoming more commonly known. You thinking they're not real words because you haven't bothered to look up what they mean is actually pretty funny.
SiriusCasanova@reddit
lmao those are not words, those are neologisms, invented just to throw around whenever you feel like. They are shibboleths, used in emotionally driven arguments and most have lost their meaning entirely, just like 'incel'. Some people really believe that using these words make you better than others, or have some sort of moral highground.
Those ''words'' are weaponized and used to silence dissident arguments.
''oh you are a man? so whatever you say must be mansplaining''
If you take everything face value you are probably missing the big picture. Also your appeal to authority is pathetic.

NightOfTheLivingHam@reddit
they're basically the same as the tactic of asking someone "Did you beat you wife today?"
"no" means you have in the past
"I don't beat my wife" is technically the valid answer but it opens the door for them to drill more accusations into you.

The correct response is to look baffled and say, "I—What...?" and just have a complete uncomprehending vibe around you. Act as if the person asking the question is insane (justifiably), and they'll then be forced to explain themselves.

BEES_IN_UR_ASS@reddit
It's based on the 1944 film Gaslight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)
As a term it's been overused to the point of losing nearly all meaning IMO, but it's not unheard-of for abusers to manipulate their victims in this way, and I don't think it's wholly inaccurate to describe some forms of propaganda along the same lines.
OliverMonster1@reddit
This, racism, "literally Hitler", and ironically violence. They say certain speech (not even threatening a person physically, but say not 'affirming') is equal or worse than physically harming somebody. Also racism is worse today than it was in 1960.

NightOfTheLivingHam@reddit
imagine if a family member kept insisting you did something that you know you didn't do, and then said "Well see that's why you're crazy, you just don't remember."
then claiming you did things to THEM and if you disagree it's proof that you're crazy or losing your mind.
Now they keep this up for months, days, years until you start believing you're losing your mind because you can't recall anything that has happened but they keep telling you it did, and they may get another family member on it. They make sure no one else can bear witness to any of these supposed events, but will tell everyone that you're going crazy. They isolate you and make you feel belittled and small. The goal is control or to get you hauled off to crazy town.
But there is never any actual evidence, no video evidence or recordings of you doing anything. Just their word. Even going as far as claiming you did things when you were out picking up milk.
Where it falls apart is if they slip up and tell you you did something when you were out and about and strangers can verify that you were there when you're being accused of something.
It can be small things too, like the door being locked or unlocked to the house. You could lock a door and the person fucking with your head can go unlock it and claim you did it. The only real weapon against that shit is to start recording your actions and leaving to go back to what you are doing with timestamps. Wait for them to scream foul and tell you you're doing something wrong, show them the evidence. They'll claim you're gaslighting them and fucking with them and that video evidence is proof you're doing things as you needed an alibi to cover your crimes, and will ignore the evidence itself and use the existence of evidence as proof that you did the thing they accuse you of.
That's gaslighting and manipulation in a nutshell.

To “gaslight” means to blatantly lie to someone’s face while acting like you’re telling the truth.
To “love-bomb” means to send a bunch of expression of love or affection.
To “stonewall” means to ignore completely.
To “mansplain” means to explain anything while being a man.
These are incompatible with one another, so it wouldn’t make sense for one to do all 4 at once.

People who use these terms belong to a cult. All thought and words and actions are filtered through a lens of “men are wrong and women are right.” You can’t reason them out of a position they did not reason themselves into. Getting someone out of a cult is a long and complicated process. It could take years, and they probably don’t want to leave the cult. It’s alluring to believe that everything you do is right and good and nothing is your fault by dint of only your sex. If you choose to stay in the relationship, at least do so with both eyes open.

Generic 5 step sequence. Useful whether or not you are right. Realize the problem is not the facts of the thing but the emotional experience of the thing. Goal is to get her to express herself and feel better, without needing to make any concessions or real changes on your part.
What do you mean? -Get her to vent some of her frustration and surface level thoughts. Get these out of the way
Help me understand where you are coming from. -Get her to explain a second time. When she talks it through again, invite her to share her feelings. This will help her introspect.
What is this really about? -She explains how she feels and how its connected to other unrelated things. Acknowledge her feelings and make her feel seen, heard, and understood.
Thank her for telling you these things, apologize for being inconsiderate, promise to be more considerate. -she will feel relieved and more connected to you. end the conversation here and do something else. Dont insist on your point, you've won.
Change a little as possible. Expect her to be more tolerant and compliant in the future.

You're making things up i love you babe even when you're like this. Then you ignore her for a few hours or a day. After that come back and explain to her why her behavior isnt good for us and how she isnt going to do that anymore with reasons and examples in a father lecture slow and low tone.

I've been doing semen retension for 7 days how could you say that to me

What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing you didn't say twice already.

Jokes on you, gotta have a woman before you can commit domestic violence.

Giving her a nice pair of Irish sunglasses. Can't go wrong with that.

Damn, lol. That's the first time I've ever heard that one.

“Nothing. You already told her twice.”

His joke but worse

Nah op fucked it up with their phrasing.
ImprovisedLeaflet@reddit
Best version is “nothin, you done told her twice.”
mnimatt@reddit
That's how the joke is usually told
Single-Bad-5951@reddit
Come up with a little dance you can do for each of her responses and be like "This is my gaslighting/etc. dance"

You are weaponizing the language of pop psychology to manipulate me

You just walk out the door and never talk to her again.

This seems like someone I wouldn't wanna talk to anyway. So why would I even respond?
TurtleTitan@reddit
"Why do you think so little of yourself? You are selling yourself short, I don't know what happened. You think normal affections is irregular like you have had no real love in your life, you think a minor squabble is stonewalling because I'm not only stopping myself from saying stupidity and possibly yourself, you think a simple mistake is some master manipulation because nobody is ever wrong (gaslighting), you think a conversation is mansplaining soley because I am a man. Some man hurt you "
Good luck saying that, you'd have to really tiptoe to get this to work. All 4 at once? Goodbye man.

It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.
NightOfTheLivingHam@reddit
Walk out the door. You're being manipulated by someone playing victim by accusing you of doing the very thing they are doing to you.
I have lived with someone like this. They will twist things around all damn day and never argue on logic ever. They will turn around and claim they never said something 5 seconds after saying it and say you're crazy then 10 seconds later accuse you of gaslighting them.

"What the fuck do you mean Jesse ?"
thEldritchBat@reddit
“What does that mean?”
gorebello@reddit
Well. You answer it by defining everyone of thise things and showing how you are not doing them.
If you don't know exactly what they mean, then maybe you are doing it. In that case you don't have to answer. Just stop or ignore and continue to do.
Answering assumes you are eight, if you are not, but is looking for how to make her stop, then it's probably gaslighting.

Milesware@reddit
I think you just listen. Sometimes what people need is a place to vent and decompress, they're not looking for a debate, but rather comfort in reconciliation, even if it doesn't appear that way to most of you guys' pathetic sensibilities.
And btw, if they're not willing to do the same for you, or reflect on it afterwards, then you're just in the wrong relationship.

I have a theory that we’ve been oppressing gay people for the past 2000 years or so because we were jealous that they didn’t have to deal with women on a romantic level.

I just say "huh?" And pretend to have just woken up, no matter if its 7am or 9pm, until they cry and say I don't care for a couple of hours to the point of exhaustion. Eventually they cave, and I can go drink a beer while doing my weekly challenges in Dota 2, partner still wiping away her tears.

I dated a women that flipped out about nonsense every 3 or 4 days. When she would do it I would say this isn't really working for me, we can casually date still but I don't think we'll ever be a serious relationship. We broke up when I me someone cooler.
