Mrs Jay’s usual MO is the ‘omission fib’.
Mrs Jay: I’m thinking of going out with the Girl’s on the 12th, do you mind?
Now, it’s phrased as if I was the kind of Git who requires his wife to ask permission to socialise with her friends, which of course she doesn’t.
Me: of course not! Have fun.
Fast forward a few weeks, a few days until “the 12th”...
Me: don’t forget I’m out Saturday night Hun.
Mrs Jay: But you said I could go out Saturday, you’ll need to arrange a sitter!
Me: When??
Mrs Jay then reminds me the exact date and time I said “of course not, have fun!”.
She’s basically taking advantage of the fact that whilst I have to plan months in advance to have a night out with friends, I only really ever think about 72 hours ahead
I don't get this one. She planned a night out, you agreed, and then two days beforehand you decide you want to be out on the same evening? How's that her problem?Mrs Jay: I’m thinking of going out with the Girl’s on the 12th, do you mind?

my ex would do that - mention something briefly in passing, usually during drinks/dinner/some other discussion and then say I never listened all because I failed to grab onto the important facts as standing out from the white noise.
I did fall into the trap though when she did this one of the last times (before the split) she said "you never listen (ratchet fake upset bs to 11) so I don't know why I talk to you" I asked when did she tell me, she mentioned it was during a conversation whilst we were out with friends at the pub and if I didn't pay attention she doesn't know why she would bother"
I then continued to say that perhaps I didn't retain such minuscule details because my man brain was busy dealing with important stuff that matters to me, I can't help if my brain chooses to filter woman talk out as inconsequential and that she must be able to remember everything I say as there's probably not much going on upstairs of any importance... she flipped out,

"You never listen". "Err, I'm deaf"
Causes loads of arguments...
Mrs Knee: You DO know the patio doors were left unlocked last night?
Me: No. I was in Paris last night.
Mrs Knee: It's your job to make sure the doors are locked at night.
Me: I was in a different country, how could I check if the doors were locked?
Mrs Knee: You've always got an excuse (storms off).
Me: No. I was in Paris last night.

Next time you're away would it be worth it to call her at midnight to enquire about the state of the doors?
Probably not.
Just guessing.
Are you two some kind of rap duo?Probably not.
Just guessing.

Ahhhhhh of course. Its like a cloud has been lifted and everything now makes sense.glenrobbo said:
Are you little Sir Echo? 
The cloud has returned. I don't understand? Has someone made that joke before or is there a reference I'm missing

I was merely hinting ( unsuccessfully, it would seem ) that you were repeating previous posters' words verbatim, somewhat akin to an echo. I was in no way trying to be derogatory or defamatory.
You're a nice little fellow, I can tell by your voice, but you're ever so far away.
Forgive me, it's to do with my age.
