Thats why you have to follow up on your victory. Eventually a string of defeats will start to wear on her. After another victory make sure to remind her of these defeats in your arguments "Oh, like the time you sent him to school in girl boots?" or "Oh, like the time you said I couldn't have sex with her?"

(Warning - you MUST be right in arguments where you use these defeats so choose your timing wisely)

Once you have erroded her self confidence her struggles insisiting she is in the right will lessen. Don't mistake this as a clear sign that you have won. Ruthlessly persue your advantage. You can now take more risks with reminding her she is wrong as you have a long string of victories to hold before her. She might retort with "Well, you were wrong that she was a lesbian." but that is easily deflected by "I am so sorry I was wrong once! Its not like I am consitently wrong about (list 4-5 times she has been wrong)!"

Bonus points for reminding her of the grief her arrogance has caused the family (child being bullied) and how everyone now has deal with the results of her hubris.



Exactly! You took a no win situation and have gained a priceless opportunity!



While I don't know what a 'case of the ass' is (He farts in a box and then she has to smell it for being wrong?) this is absolutely the right move. Use your enraged ally to batter her defenses. First she won't defend as hard. Women have a soft spot for living things shoved out of their vaginas. Second, any backlash will be directed towards your sacrificial ally. There is even a gambit you can use to play both off against eachother - weakening both while strengthening your position

In any case - if the 'being picked on' doesn't blow over be sure to drop little hints here and there whose fault that was. "I am really sorry that mom got your girl boots." and "At least I got you new boots right after!"



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You don't know women very much do you?

No matter how many times they are proven wrong in life they are unlikely to EVER change their stance of "I'm right" at this any given moment in an argument in the future.

One of my Exs and I used to fight all the time over the stupidest shit she would say and then deny later. I had to take to using a voice recorder in my pocket and installing a recorder program on my cell phone just to PROVE her wrong constantly. It didn't matter. She would always conveniently "forget" she was ever wrong and try to deny it again. I would have to bring out the recorder to show her again. If it was an argument for a slightly different situation, but still pretty much the same she would still claim to be right because the current situation was "different." The word different can be used because its just a different day and time despite everything else being the same. For example, the OP was right in regards to the boots in this case. But say 3 years down the line the wife buys the exact same pair of boots for her now older son and expects him to wear them. You could argue until your blue in the face but you would be wrong this time to her because this time it is different. Why is it different? Because it is 3 years later and that's why would be her argument. Not that time would have any real change on the outcome of the situation of a boy wearing girl boots to school.

SNIP.

🙄 Right - its not like I have been in a relationship literally every single day since I was 15 (Every single one of my relationships over lapped eachother. Sometimes only by an hour until I broke up with the other women sometimes longer while I evaluated my options) and have been married for a number of years now.

I am sorry you have such trouble managing women but believe me when I say I do not, and have never, shared your frustrations

And she's your ex. Good. Find a more reasonable woman, most aren't this way.

Nah...some women are tougher than others...my wife is this way...I generally have to dance around the situations to get from point A to B in a discussion...

usually something like A to C over to Q and back to B...

As Jim Grey would say...it is all about choices (excellent author)
 
I came in here expecting wife pics... wtf, false advertising.... BAN!!!!

Also, WTF is with those boots? I wouldn't have let my son wear those ever. A man has got to put his foot down occasionally. :colbert:
 
Throughout my teenage years, my mother regularly wore taller red boots with the same diamond stitch pattern and dingy beige fuzz at the top (reminded me of dirty Santa boots). I was horrified to go anywhere with her. This is in GA where it never snows enough to justify even owning snow boots. I remain convinced to this day that she was trying to look homeless in order to get pity from church members and people around town.
 
Lol, leave it to ATOT to "know it all" yet they can't deduce that the pic of the girly boy, posted by someone other than the OP, isn't actually his son. It's even been explained several times and some still can't figure it out. :thumbsdown:

Easier solution is simply to bend her over, fuck her in the ass and assert your dominance. It works in prison. :thumbsup:
