Dude - you’re consumed by her frame and you have zero standing as a masculine presence in your relationship with her. 

In all honesty, don’t run. You’ll only stumble into another relationship that ends up with the same kind of bullshite problems. 

The problem is you. Work on you, and you’ll see her realign herself to you.

It's easy to say this without offering a proper response. Something clearly hurt her and I wanted to know why/how so that I can avoid hurting her further. What should I have said? She didn't question my masculinity and I didn't wimp away; I apologized for hurting the person I love and expressed what bothered me about her response.

Okay...after reading a lot of this thread, I think you’re trolling. If so, it’s excellent and don’t blow it when you’ve come this far.

But to answer your question...nothing is a decent option.

Better option would be to be amused by it. Or agree with her and amplify it a few notches.

“Well it takes a man to splain it considering it was my gender that invented the term.”

But you can’t even begin to think about your relationship in such a way because (and I assume probably correctly here) you’d worry so damn much about offending her that you’d never make light of her shite test. She threw shite at you and your fee fees got hurt, so you responded by projecting your confusion, sadness, and weakness onto her and it pissed her off.

Don’t fricking apologize when you didn’t do anything wrong.

Bitch get onto me for Mansplaining I just say So? I'm A MAN! I am what I am. Comes with the territory.

Never apologize for who and what you are. If she can't handle that, she should pack HER shite and go. That's not to say you should run her over or mistreat her. But if you cannot be who you are with her, then you do not need to be with her.

Yeah the crocodile tears at the end to cap it off so he couldn't get a word in to explain himself were masterful.

It sounds like she’s probably frustrated and dealing with someone in her life who is making her feel inferior as a woman, and you did something condescending, and the two merged and she had a breaking point.
Would you still be making this thread if she said “ you’re being a condescending dick and I’m tired of you talking to me that way”? Or did you just get triggered by her calling it mansplaining?

mansplaining

No such thing

There's explaining things then there's being a condescending a-hole/bitch.

Both sexes are equally capable of doing each.

By attempting to explain something to her that she has a DEGREE in? Absolutely.
Go into your cardiologists office and start explaining to him what open heart surgery is and see how well that’s received.
At bare minimum not “remembering” what your fiancé’s level of expertise is is ridiculously disrespectful. If you love someone then you make the time to remember what they are good at.

Not reading all 10 pages but couple questions....

Does she suck dick good?

If answer is yes or no, get the frick out.

She used a word that most people roll their eyes at, so that sucks..

But maybe if she is otherwise a reasonable and sane woman, you should reflect on whether you as a person are condescending to others without realizing it.



It sounds like maybe he’s a little douchey explaining art to an art major. And probably does it in other ways....

But also sounds like she’s having issues somewhere else. Boss? Coworkers? Parent?

Regardless, won’t lecture about whether to run but would suggest thinking about how well you know each other and how well you communicate before pushing further along

No one should brag about being able to kick a stranger's arse on the internet by citing their belt in a martial art. You sound like a child.

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



Next time leave out part of this and you'll catch even more.
