help me be diplomatic with husband,s male chauvenistic friend

husband’s friend is visitin with his new wife from the village and he drinks like a fish . my husband hardly drinks and is still awake at 4 a.m. drinking with his buddy . I went in to remind them its 4 a.m. And this guy goes look at my wife sleeping peacefully and you are here . God he pisses me off . He’s here for 5 days and I have no idea how to tolerate him or behave nicely either . My idea of fun is to drink together moderatly and have discussions etc . And I think he’s a bad influence on my husband too . Who knows he might get influenced for little little chauvnistic behaviour . This man’s wife touches his feet in the morning for god’s sake . Help

Answer #1

just smack him on the head and tell him to sod off!

Answer #2

:) I know what you mean, it’s always easier for something to come from the outside!

Chin up, and good luck!

Answer #3

thanks you guys !! that was helpful… Sometimes when u’re stuck in somethin irritating you loose yr own rationality…I’ve lost my smile and am sure it bugs the hell out of my husband…

Answer #4

give the guy a break hes wit his buddy haven a good time and im sure he dosent have it very often and if he drinks a lot when he gets back tell him that his friend is a bad influience and you dont want him to see him if he keeps it up

Answer #5

Its only a visit, he will be gone soon

Answer #6

lol, ohk, your husband is an adult. If he hasnt turned into a male chauvinistic pig yet, despite all these years of watching all the pigs around him, he’s probably not going to any time soon…

Really this boils down to picking your battles, if they’re going to be gone soon, figure out if it is worth fighting with him over it… If they arent, then have a heart to heart chat with your husband about respect and courtesy…

As for his friend. I know, it bugs the hell out of me too. My friend is married to one (he’s I suppose about a step better). But what to do right? There are people like that in this world, and you cant change it. And I know it hits at your own sense of self, but just remember, that because he thinks women are inferior, does not mean they are… Just that he’s got a tiny little brain that would explode if you tried to make him see differently. So dont let his perceptions get to you…
