Today, I got in an argument with my wife. I told her that I feel like she immediately disagrees with anything I say. She immediately disagreed and said she never does that. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had an argument with my wife. I told her to get back in the kitchen. How does she respond? By doing what I told her to do, and returning to hit me with a frying pan. FML
Today, my wife said I was being difficult and unreasonable, and called my mother to talk to me about my behaviour. What did I do, you ask? I dared to share my opinion on something I happen to feel strongly about, instead of just mindlessly agreeing with her opinion like I have for the past 22 years. FML
Today, my wife has been grumpy all day, because she decided to get herself worked up over an argument we had and then peacefully settled three months ago. Like she suddenly gets to reopen the argument for no reason. I’m refusing to continue the argument on principle, hence her grumpiness. FML
Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML
Today, my mom and I got into a fight about a topic we agreed on. Seems like we're destined to never get along. FML
Today, my wife blamed me for the washing machine breaking. When I told her it wasn’t me because I haven’t used it this week, she immediately changed direction and started blaming me for not doing enough around the house, which is utter bullshit. I know I do my share, I think she just wanted to fight. FML
Today, I realized that I frequently argue with myself and respond back. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, I tried to speak to my wife about my feelings for this coming year, family and work. I thought it wouldn't be a problem as I regularly listen and support her with her feelings, emotional issues, anxiety, depression, etc. She shut me down in 30 seconds and said to stop acting like my mother and being so stupid. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is hardly an FML. In fact, posting this FML about something so miniscule kind of makes you sound like a whiner. So she disagrees with you - big whoop, who cares. Yes, support in a relationship is nice and necessary but bringing this issue up DURING AN ARGUMENT is not going to solve anything and is so not the right time to talk about it. Instead, you should have waited a few hours or maybe a couple of days when the argument had passed and you guys had smoothed things over before TALKING TO HER ABOUT IT. You should have said to her "Hey, there's something I'd like to talk about/something I'd like to mention. Lately, I've been feeling like you disagree with me a lot. I understand if you don't think that or maybe it's just going unnoticed but this is how I feel and it would be nice if we could be more agreeable with each other." And make sure to be calm and normal about it because, if there is any kind of underlying tone or attitude, she'll like pick up on it and it could seem like you're blaming her and that would just start an argument. Pick your battles and the right time for them.

This reminds me of when I was a teenager. Whenever I would try to give a counterpoint to my parents' point of view, they simply told me I was being argumentative. There really is no way to respond to that accusation and be heard, so it's kind of an unfair situation to put someone in. Granted, in my case it was often true (I had some attitude issues), but it never made for productive conversation, because there's no way to respond to accusations other than a defense. Statements framed as "when you blank, I felt blank" are usually better conversation starters.

I'm in the same boat OP. Best thing you can do, is to just not stress over that. It can get infuriating, i know, but at the end of the day, is it really worth arguing about?

What sort of things are you disagreeing on? If she's disagreeing to do things that are financially irresponsible or otherwise potentially dangerous, getting upset with her for that is a bit silly. If she's disagreeing to do things that are beneficial, then yes that is a problem. If the two of you are disagreeing about opinions like whether or not the latest Batman movie was any good... you can have different opinions on stuff like that. Opening the conversation like that wasn't the best choice, either.
