*Updated - My wife's sister just told me that I am less intelligent than her husband.

[Paul98]

UPDATE: Well I talked to my wife a little more about it... She was pretty much shocked that it still bothered me. She then told me that her sister has been trying to get pregnant for quite a while now (I really had no idea since they're both ~35, I figured they were just career oriented and didn't want kids.) My wife and I had a little one last September.

Not sure how what she said made her feel better but if it did, I no longer have an issue with it. As for why it bothered me to begin with? It's probably because I only have a Mathematics BS.

BTW his PhD is in Marketing.




It was a statement made when she was drunk but I'm not one that excuses nonsense like this because of alcohol.

She justified the statement by bringing up the fact that he has a doctorate degree from Columbia.

While I have no way to refute the claim or prove anything contrary, I simply don't think it is in proper form and am quite shocked that it was said with at least 10 other people around. At the time I simply walked away.

It's been a few days since the incident and I am still bothered by it. She is known for making statements like this and when anyone confronts her, everyone else pretty much says it's "her being her."

I'm at a loss for what to do especially because I will be with my wife's family for a two week vacation soon.

And why do you care? So what if he is more intelligent than you?

After seeing the update. I pretty much called it. She resents her man's beta status. Women instinctively judge a man by their masculinity and ability to impregnate them, they also look at things that provide shelter in our current socioeconomic climate such as job stability and salary, but their instinct draws them towards powerful masculine men. Yes the man with the phd has a nice beard, but her inability to get pregnant has left her filled with resentment towards her choice of mate, and she feels the need to lash out because she is a hateful wise and beautiful woman.

Sounds reasonable. She needs to bring you down to the level of her reproductively challenged partner. Sit down for a couple of minutes, close your eyes and try to imagine life in her shoes for a couple of minutes. Empathize with what makes a person say such a taboo thing as she did. Once you've glimpsed what she must be feeling you should be able to let this go.

Aside from that, this is something that someone who genuinely doesn't like you would say. Keep that in mind in future meetings.

This is great advice. I hope you'll take it.

But if it doesn't work, it's up to your wife to handle her family in whatever way she thinks best. You can try to convince her, but under no circumstances should you go to war with your wife's family, unless you have her full and willing cooperation. Don't let them come between the two of you under any circumstances.

OP your wife needs to defend you. last month my wifes aunts were in town. i have not seen one of her aunts in about 7 years so when i got home from work i said Hi, and she immediatly insults me. no hi or hello or nice to see you,,, she fucking insults me in my home. i just look at her, turn around and walk out. my wife was there, heard it and told her aunt to see herself out.

I have no idea wtf i did. ive never had a problem with her and was shocked and kinda hurt that she felt the need to insult. so fuck her she is never welcome in my house again. my wife is in total agreement and let her side of the family know why she was asked to leave.

Glad your wife is on the ball!

I agree that his wife should have stood up....it goes to show though that non-confrontation with her bitchy sister is the only road she can take to keep her sanity.

I always defend my wife if my family start acting like asshats...that includes my parents. i will get extreme on my family if I see douche behavior!

The solution to this whole situation is really simple.

Talk to your wife and make sure that she's on your side with this so you can (hopefully) avoid it in the future. If for some reason it does happen again, simply change the subject and start talking as much as possible about how much you love your kid and how much joy he brings to your life. If all goes to plan, the silly drunk bitch will run off crying and you'll have put an end to her nonsense.

Beat up her husband. This will prove that you are the more intelligent man.

He'll be all "what did I do wrong???"
And you say "married a whore!" just before you stomp his face

 

[Cyco]

Dude, you sound like a whiny bitch. Get over yourself.

Edit: Where's the "I sound like a whiny bitch" option in your poll?

 

[AlienCraft]

Duh. You married her sister, not her. And her husband is the one banging her... not your wife.

Though, to clarify, we'd need pics for sure.

D: I'm SHOCKED that it took 28 replies to get to the pics of it all! DAmmit Jim! Shocked I tellyou
This keeps up, we're going to have to have a reading of The Unwritten Rulez. :'(

Sweet jesus this is genius. :thumbsup:

Endgame, get your wife to describe your penis as bigger than his.

It wouldn't matter if he was the king of the universe, if his dick is smaller than yours you win by default.

Have your wife looking mesmerized while she says it.

I am not shitting you, NOTHING matters like the size of your cock.

Not how much money you make or what car you drive, not how fit you are or how you look, it's ALL about penis size.

Size is EVERYTHING!

I bet he has a small penis since he's being such a whiny bitch. "Gotta be big in something, dammit it's my brain!"

He could have the dong of gods, it doesn't matter, it's endgame.

You get your girl to refer to it in any way like as in "he's worth every inch of him" and you're done.

You won.

Anything that comes after that will be seen as catching up.

it will be seen as "yeah he might be a nifty little ah heck when it comes to calculate the dimensions needed for a new shed but this guy over here is a man who can satisfy a woman".

He WILL get defensive and so will she, but secretly, even her sister will forever long for your cock after that.

The prettiness of the sisters is irrelevant, really. The real issue here is why you feel the need to use OT as your emotional crutch. The only time you should care about what a woman thinks is if you're in a sexual relationship with her, anyway.

LOL. You've been watching too much porn.

 

[Dessert Tears]

Are you getting her anything for Mother's Day?

 

[Printer Bandit]

i would venture to say that he has a micro, no....a nano dick.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

smugness (which he is exuding in that pic), is often confused for intelligence by lesser intellects

if you ever want to ruin a few relationships just play the can't have kids card

in general just appreciate your family and be happy to hell with everyone else
