this morning she asked me about it again and i said it was pretty good. she started probing this and i admitted i didn't think it was as good as some of the other restaurants we've been to. here's the result:

note: i did not immediately react this way, i was nice about it for the first few hours and tried to placate her.

She just was really invested in you liking the restaurant because she thinks it's really cool and she wanted to introduce you to something that you would think was really cool. That's what she cares about more than anything else, why she's so emotional about something so small. Women want to feel like they count for something.

like i said, i started with "it's very good!" and she recognized the whiff of criticism and prodded me until i gave her my actual opinion.

how do you "hear" somebody when they're telling you that you not liking a place hurt their feelings? especially in response to very mild criticism?

If you can get her to say, 'here's why I'm upset. "The truth is, I just really love that restaurant, and I wanted you to like it as much as I do. I wanted to show you something that I really care about and I genuinely thought you'd like it too. I was excited for that." If you can get her to open up then just say 'oh I never thought of it that way, thank you for opening up to me. You know we can go back there and I'll give it another chance' (in a week she will forget anyway and probably feel guilty about making you go back there.

These moments of catharsis are powerful in a woman's brain. I don't know this person and maybe my method is retarded but that's how I typically handle these things.

like when your little daughter proudly shows you some mangled heap she made in pottery, just lie and say “Oh honey it’s beautiful I’m so proud of you!”

"Babe hurting ur feelings was that last thing I wanted to do. You're so wonderful for thinking of me on your birthday. Thank you for suggesting it." or some shit to this effect.

Remember, homie, happy wife, happy life. Women don't think thru life, they feel their way thru. Don't treat her like opposing counsel or some counterparty, she's supposed to be ur partner. You need to give in in these types of discussions and not hold ur ground/try to win an arguemnt

Don't indulge this shit, explain that she's an adult and you can like different things; she's not some toddler who gets her feelings hurt because you have different favorite colors.

Don't fucking take these shit tests seriously at all, and NEVER moderate your opinion to match hers. It communicates that she runs you.
