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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Good. Suffer you feminist ****. Mansplaining, what a stupid ******* concept. How do you idiots keep creating dumber and dumber words that mean nothing?

Yeah you deserved this. Mansplaining is just feminist BS to make men feel bad about themselves when really they did absolutely nothing

maybe you deserve it for being such a prick. F your husbands life for having a wife who believes garbage like that.

You got it easy if you accused me of mansplaining I would've left you right then and there

Why did you tell him that it was a word? He's your husband, you're not five years old. When he explains something to you, he should do it as an adult conversation... unless you don't understand how conversation works. Either way, your own fault.

Alternatively, maybe she witnessed a 'feminist' using this term in an argument, later telling her husband about it because she found it annoying, and isn't herself the kind of person to use it as an argument.
