"Since you've been there, how can you have witnessed what she was going through physically and still say you have a problem with a woman saying something she regrets in that moment? Are you that much of a Nancy boy that you are offended that easily?"

Gosh, a "Nancy Boy". That's a new one.

Once again, your position is that "as a man" a guy should just shut up and take whatever a woman does when she's under stress or not feeling well or whatever. In other words, we have to "make allowances for the ladies", a ridiculous double standard by which women are allowed all sorts of unacceptable offensive behavior [even up to and including slapping a man], in situations where they are under stress or pain, that would NEVER be tolerated in a man under equivalent circumstances, and which might in a man also have legal consequences. Let's just see a man call a woman a really offensive profanity and/or hit her when he's in a bed writing from a kidney stone; I'm sure you would maintain that this is acceptable for him to do, and that she would be just a "Nancy girl" [or whatever the equivalent would be for a woman] if she objected to it.

In reality, you adopt a position of a double standard in which a woman is allowed to abuse a man under circumstances in which, if the roles were reversed, a man would NEVER be allowed. Are you maintaining that women have some sort of emotional instability problem that must be allowed for, like a family tolerating the antics of the crazy aunt in the family? If so, this is a demeaning portrait you paint of women.

Although I would never engage in a dispute with my wife in those circumstances, what I HAVE done is to reply to her when she would border on abusiveness in times of stress or pain or whatever in the following manner: "it's ok honey. I know you're being abusive and inappropriate only because you're in pain." In contradistinction to your opinions, I'm not going to just sit there and be made a fool of, or like a "Nancy Boy" just accept whatever she dishes out. It would take only one or two instances of my pointing out indirectly that she was being inappropriate to cause that behavior to cease. You however may choose to just tolerate being made a fool of; if it works for you, then that's ok.

I never said that. I said this is one exception that anyone with half a brain would make. You are taking one instance of incredible pain and agony and transferring it to every aspect of human life. You are doing that, not me.

ROTFL. You live in one freaked out world. And after reading what you wrote, if you honestly spoke to your wife that way when she was giving birth to your child, you are not only a Nancy boy, you are a first class ass. I never said one harsh word to my husband during either of my deliveries but I can tell you something, he wouldn't have gotten his undies in a bunge or had his sensibilites crushed if I had. One of you two lives in reality and it isn't you.
