Given how frequently it happens even with no male partners or it continues despite the male partner saying to talk to the wife about, I’m am gonna guess it’s pretty uncommon to be the primary factor.
My mom tries to get rid of salesman by deferring to my dad, who then immediately folds to whatever BS the salesman throws his way. He was damn close to signing up to pay someone to put solar panels on their house which he would then also have to also pay for the electricity generated by those panels until I re-stated it to him and was like “do you not see how fucking stupid that sounds? What are you getting out of this?”
Well the idea is that he be an asshole like he usually is to everyone else, but for whatever reason he’s nice to some of the most annoying dickheads on the planet.

That’s a terrible way to get rid of salesmen.

Sounds like he’s maintaining maximum assholishness in creative ways. 😄
Is this one of those traditional boomer trapped in marriage situations, or does he have good points?
