he always answers a question with a question

I think he is either too bored or trying to be intellectual. Or both. Why did you marry him if you did not like him this way? I think you just need to let him know that you are feeling tired and too much of a good thing can backfire too.

hi baby kay! i have similar incidents with friends and yeah, i agree that this is a very irritating habit. i am not sure why they do it, but there are people who like to pretend that they don't know anything or they present themselves as stupid even if they are not. and it is irritating, especially if i have to repeat instructions. well, you will have to live with your husband, so why not try talking to him about it. ask him why he is doing it, and if he is doing it intentionally. if he is, then ask him to stop. or ask him why he likes to do it, and gently present your requests to him. although it is a minor thing, it can be a root of bigger contentions later on. so nip it in the bud now, before it gets attached to bigger issues. God bless your marriage! :-)

Have you actually tried talking to him about this and letting him know how you feel? If not, you really should. If you're not able to communicate with your husband about this, then that's really something you two should start working on. Any good relationship has open communication between the people involved. If you can't communicate with the person you're with, it's not a healthy relationship to be in.

My husband does something similar. I'll ask him a question and he'll "answer" with what he thinks I'm really trying to ask him, not just answer my question. For example, the other day I asked him if he was going to grab this one bag to take with us. His answer was "That's my visual display for our meeting". Well, as we were leaving I asked him why he didn't have that bag. He said he thought I had it. I told him that I thought "That's my visual display for our meeting" meant "Yes, I'll get it" not "No, can you grab it". I reminded him yet again that he has to answer the question I'm asking not the question he thinks I'm asking. It's so annoying. Sometimes I'll just ask him the question a hundred times until I get something that answers the question I'm asking. I'm constantly telling him to just answer my question. Hopefully one day it'll sink in.

Hi there, okey why don't you tell him that this is bothering you so much? I mean you would not mind if he answers you with a question if there's something that requires clarification but to simple requests like can you pass the salt or would you give me that towel i guess it would be pretty difficult. He is a good guy but he needs to be spoken to but gently. Just let him know that this thing is bothering you so much. And regarding he is contradicting with you over each and everything sometimes this thing happens between spouses and it is tiring. I guess you just have to explain to him that sometimes you are two people and you as two people just can't agree on everything, if you two started to accept this as a fact then conversation would go smoothly despite the different views. This thing happened to me in my marriage (from both sides) and I gotta tell you it isn't easy to deal with but with time both sides would reach a situation where they start to kind of accept others' views. I am not saying my problem is 100% solved but situation slightly improved, not easy. Good luck ... excuse typos if any

Why do you ask questions like that? Why do you want an answer? Do think it has something to do with the SOcratic method or something? Did they make him drink that hemlock because he drove everyone crazy?

Really does he? all the best urban
