What is your reaction when your wife tells you, “You’re right” ?

Accept it graciously but inside CELEBRATE!!! HAHA
I pull out my cell, put it on record, and ask her to say it again. Important moments in life need to be cherished forever.
Thanks
Record it and make it into a Netflix series
The holy grail I continue to seek, I just get silence or a subject change
I understand the words you’re saying make sense, but it seems like an alien concept to me.
In my house it’s understood that Dad is always right by default.
The times that my wife is right and I am wrong is celebrated by her and I usually buy her a soda.
The unfortunate takeaway from this post is going to be how uncommon it is for women to ever tell us we’re right. I wonder if the ever-lurking women of this sub will have commentary on this?
I mean I am not married but we live together. After 5 years I am yet to experience this response, I will let you know how I feel when I find out myself.
If she said your right then i would be scared. She said your right because she is done fighting.
You are at the final frontier, no man has been there before.
Run for cover. It’s clearly a skinwalker
☝️ Lisan al Ghaib!
14 years…not one of these. Your talking a fantasy
Wake up you are dreaming.
“Damn right I am”
I thank her for telling me and celebrate internally. No point in gloating. She’s being humble.
I usually start sputtering and telling her all the reasons why it makes sense what she was thinking/saying. :facepalm
I vocally orgasm it happened twice in a month one time
I hope nobody tells her that was all by accident.
In our house it’s celebrated on August 10th commemorating the time on August 10, 2007 when it was confirmed I was right. There have been many other times when I believed I was right, however, there was no second individual who would confirm it
“So… You have accepted the truth.”
Hardly ever happened, but when it did, it was probably over something stupid like a correct movie quote or some other pointless thing.
I have a better chance of catching Bigfoot.
Last time my gf told me I was right, I kissed her forehead, hugged her tight, and then got her dinner.
I’ve been married 29 years, and happily. If that ever happens I’ll post again and let you know.
“Yeah, I do that a lot “
Time to buy the lottery
‘I’m dreaming , aren’t I’?
I’ll let you know when it happens
In my extensive, ahem, experience… A woman will only admit she is wrong after experiencing physical pain, even if very minor.
Saw it happen several times after gym/boxing/kickboxing sessions. The physical pain seems to humble them to the point of accepting they were wrong.
Doesn’t last though. Need to keep engaging in painful physical activities to keep it going. Weekly.
Slap her around and see what happens.
Time to apologize
It’s a trap!!!
Wouldn’t know. I can’t even get her to admit she’s wrong… About anything… Even something that is stupid or IDK… Will never know.
You just pretend it did not happen. Because there is a huge chance that you just imagined that it happened and it really did not. You don’t say a single word though. That way if it did happen it comes across us being completely natural as if you already knew that you were but You don’t throw it in her face.
It usually goes like this: “You’re right… I’m just a crazy, delusional person—blah blah blah.” And somehow, it always turns out I’m wrong.
Then I sleep on the couch for that night :).
“I fucking knew it” not to her face, by in my mind
I have been married to my fourth wife for 7 months and we talk about all sorts of different topics. We are still in the phase where we still like each other a lot. I am used to her commenting that I was right. She thinks I am perfect but we know better than that.
I announce loudly “All present, let us recognize that on this day, this unforgiving woman uttered the words “you were right” as a proclamation for all to hear…..” or something to that effect… It rarely happens…
“Yeah, I know. That’s why I said it.”
Really though, I just acknowledge her thinking to be valid even if her conclusions were wrong. Then I promptly drop the subject.z
I raise my voice, gesture with my pipe and say, “Do not take me as a conjurer of cheap tricks!”
Kiss her and say, “I love you too”
I’m dating someone where neither of us has a problem conceding to the other.
My ex had that issue, and there’s a reason she’s an ex.
Life is much easier when you’re with someone that isn’t driven by ego or need for validation through wars of attrition.
<squints in Admiral Ackbar>
Usually with a very inquisitive, yet rhetorical “What was that?”
“Cool”, “Thanks”. “I know” if I feel like teasing her. Don’t make it a big deal
“When am I ever wrong? Don’t argue next time.”
Not sure, it hasn’t happened yet.
I will update if it ever happens.
I just assume that it’s either sarcasm, or she doesn’t want to argue about it.
We have a running joke; she admits to being wrong a lot of the time, so when I say she’s right, we celebrate reducing the percentage of how often she’s wrong.
We have fun and make light of it…it also incentivizes me to find creative ways to admit it; “you’re less wrong than usual” or something to that effect, and she gets to catch me trying to avoid surrendering :p
I always ask
Why?
I say “I know i am… I usually am.”
“Can you repeat that? I need to get this on video.”
Moonwalk into back handspring, finishing in the splits on the floor with my hands up. All 10.0’s from the judges, too.
I have a Post-It note on my desk dated June 23 1998. It says “I was right!” It’s the only note.
I’m on the tail end of a divorce after sixteen years of marriage. I can honestly say I have no context for your question.
In my best Bender voice-“Shut up baby, I know it”
It’s like this.
I’ll let you know, if it ever happens…
Shock and awe
I’d make out with her
Married 30 years, we turned it into a bit of a joke. Both of us will say: “ you were right, i was less right. Mistakes were made”. Its a good way to disarm and defuse a conflict with a sense of humor.
Not my wife (yet) but girlfriend of 10 years, and I always answer with “what I have can’t be taught” and we laugh it off.
That….that can’t be right……..she actually said that you are right?????
My wife & I have a joking thing where we declare something nearby as “[Name] Is Right Memorial [say, corner or intersection or whatever]” So, for this, let’s say my name is Ryan. “Ryan is Right Corner” would be what we call that particular corner from that point forward, every time we get near it. It’s a fun way to deal with the end of a stupid. low-stakes disagreement.
Careful now. Sounds like a trap. 🤔
Whenever either my partner or say that to eachother, we always sloooowly turn our head to the other, narrow our eyes and go “….I died this morning, didn’t I?!…” Then we both usually crack up
I immediately go out and buy a powerball ticket, then go yacht shopping online.
Do the steam archievement soudn effect
Man, so very envious of you!
Did you say “I have been acting like an idiot” the sentence before?
Been married almost 20 years and I can recall 3 times she’s said “You’re Right”, or some variant of it. That’s as close to an apology as I’ve ever gotten as well.
Haha my wife and I constantly say this and the right reaction is to just keep going with the conversation.
Hasn’t happened yet
“ok now why wasn’t I right the first 5 times I said the same thing”
That didn’t happen and is a sign you are hearing strange voices. Get help before it is too late.
My reaction “shock and distrust”
It’s clearly a trap
You are right…… there is a “but” coming
I’ve literally never heard it…
Ex wife, but I would wait for the “but”.
