re: Welp....here's a new one with the SO

OK you went about that all wrong. If you want to get her to change something like that you have to let it be her idea. Find something on the internet about it and mock it as stupid for people to be so snooty as to worry about something like how you slop food in your mouth. Let her be superior. Don't act like you ever noticed that before. Go on some kind of rant about how elitist it is. That kind of shite. Next thing you know you're dating a fricking etiquette expert who's going to be wanting to train you to stop being such a caveman.

You go at it all judgmental and nothing you say is going to penetrate the defense mechanisms.
