Run.

When you break up with her and she asks you why, tell her that you shouldn't have to explain to her why.

I'm wondering why you've put the question mark in your title.

I commented on the facial structure of a boy in some obscure Central American painting, saying it greatly resembled the socialist realism found in Soviet paintings. I then began to explain what that was, just because I felt like it wasn't common knowledge and I forget that she was an art major -- we didn't know each other in college... she snapped at me and said that she knows more about socialist realism than me



She is the one who needs to run. I am not sure what is worse. Him recognizing aspects of socialist realism from Soviet paintings or the fact he likes to come across as a socialist realism in Soviet paintings expert. This chick needs to realize she needs to end it and find a real man before he starts making her sammiches and uses all her bubble bath.

But some real insight for you.

She sounds like someone that will constantly try to compete with you. Whether it is knowledge or something else.

It will get to the point where you are on eggshells and she will constantly be one upping you to prove herself.

What's funny is that I dated a girl just like this... And she is a PA. Our relationship ended with her telling me a laundry list of things I need to change about myself before she saw herself marrying me.

It sucked breaking up with her because I did love her, but the amount of just sheer tension that was released when we split was insane. I missed her, yes, but all I had to do was just think about all the times she snapped at me for no other reason than just her competing with me in some form or fashion and knocked that missing her part right away.

My thoughts are this woman is a high risk of making your life hell down the road, tbh

You did not come to the right place

The simplest answer is this- she was an art major and you forgot that, and you tried to school her on something that is her thing.

That pissed her off.

End of discussion

This ain’t about you. And thinking that what your issues were vs his is foolish.

The initial comment was about wanting to punch me in the face; I cited real life credentials in submission grappling. Nothing wrong about that.

This was the first time this has ever happened, if it becomes a pattern, or of she responds negatively/aggressively when I bring it up, then I may cut my losses and take the OT way out.

Women are complicated and if you find one who isn’t, congrats, you married a tranny

This is almost too perfect of OT bait to be believable. But I believe you. 

A couple years ago I asked for advice when choosing between law school and seminary/divinity school. Everyone thought I was either scum or trolling, but I obtained my ThM this summer and work in curriculum development at a church in Colorado. My life has suspicious/trollish dilemmas, I guess.

True.

That’s why you avoid stupid stuff like this.

There are only a few things the OP has to feel inferior to his woman: washing, cleaning, sammich making and art.

And he couldn’t remember 4 things. :p

Cmon man - you didn’t expect this?

Also if she’s a feminist count now during the happy times, it’s only going to get worse when menopause hits. Get out now while you still have 100% of your assets

Let's take this down a different path.

If you're both devout christians and virgins.

Let me ask you this.

Do you treat her as christ treated the church? If you do then why is she disrespecting you?

She should submit to you as you are the leader of the relationship.

How did he treat the church?

Jesus was a Jew. Who was disrespectful to the Jewish church.

I do my best, though fail often enough. We're both flawed; I disrespect her unintentionally and she broke down on this occasion.

I love her sacrificially and she respects and loves me. Submitting is not the permission of tyrannical force; it's more the sacrificial giving of oneself to another. The teachings on this are nuanced, however, her "disrespect" is not bothersome to who she is.

True.

All you had to do was ask her opinion. Sit back and listen. And she would have been telling her friends how great you are. (Not that she isn’t already).

It’s not like she gets al ton of opportunities to show her art knowledge.
