Today, I introduced the concept of 'mansplaining' to my husband. Ever since, he's been deliberately mansplaining every single thing to me. All. The. Time. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I tried to talk to my soon-to-be-husband about how he needs to take a more active approach in his own life. It devolved to him screaming at me and putting words in my mouth. This has been going on for six months. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided he was going to narrate everything I do. I can't get him to stop. FML
Today, my husband explained that talking to me makes him miserable. FML
Today, I explained to my husband how much it bothers me when he constantly talks about one of his coworkers. He listened closely, never interrupted me, and seemed genuinely sorry afterwards. While he was consoling me and telling me that he'll stop, he called me by her name… three different times. FML
Today, when I had a go at my husband for spending way too much time in front of the TV, he pointed the remote control at me while miming turning down the volume in order to make me shut up. FML
Today, my husband asked me to spoon him. He used it as an excuse to start farting on me. Yep, this is my husband. FML
Today, my husband has a terrible temper and starts screaming for everything. Consequently, I've learnt to deflect and shift blame to save myself. He says he flies off the handle because I shift blame, while I do it to avoid being verbally abused. Made for each other much? FML
Today, my hubby asked me what we were doing for dinner. He'd already asked me twice and each time I responded, he said, "Sounds good." He has no idea why I feel like he doesn't listen to me. He's been doing this shit for 12 years. FML
Today, I was complaining about the weather when my fiancé looked at me and said, "Can I ask a favor? Can you stop moaning and complaining and bitching about every single little thing that doesn't go your way?" He continued on for a good five minutes detailing how much I complain. He's a dead man. FML
Today, my man complained about having to listen to my "emotional problems for hours." Yeah, we did talk for two hours, 90% of which was him asking for my advice on which new mattress to buy for his bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

First of all, Mansplaining isn't a real thing. It's being condescending. Calling it mansplaining is something women do when they assume all men are stupid and are to emotionally immature to have a man speak to them intellegnetly. Second of all, since you're stupid enough to think "Mansplaining" is a real thing it sounds like he wasn't being condescending, but speaking slowly because he wanted to make sure you understood him, which was the right thing to do, because you're a moron

Because it's super funny to casually disrespect/mock your spouse? Now you get to introduce the concept of not being an asshole to your husband. Good luck, OP.

Because there's no such thing as "mansplaining".
