If they tell you an alternate route would have been faster...
If they say "Nice Stop sign", if you slow roll through it...
If they say "the light would still have been yellow, you didn't have to stop".
Had a similar issue. I used to like to say to her "you're a better driver than a passenger."
On occasion, I would stop the car and say "you drive, if you know so much more about driving than me
"She never accepted the offer...
Ex-wife. Though she was very pretty, well educated, accomplished, and was killing it career wise she was difficult to live with. She has had 2 subsequent failed marriages after me which barely lasted a year.
Here are her annoying habits.
1. Cutting her nails in bed and leaving the nails there.
2. Picking her nose and flinging it.
3. Fixating on other pretty women and asking me what I thought of them. She wanted reassurance that she was prettier than them or would be in a bad mood.
4. Talking down to our housekeeper and condescending comments to wait staff at restaurants.
5. Lavish girlfriend trips. Where she would give me short notice and be unreachable. The first time this happened her family wanted to go to the authorities because she was not reachable and suggested foul play- appeared to be directed at me. Though they apologized once she returned I could never forget this.
6. Telling me that she settled in getting involved with me and she's a "good catch" all the time. Telling me about her exes and how lucky I am to have her.
7. Sending items that belong to me to storage or charity without consulting me.
8. Not cleaning up after her pets and being neglectful to them. Basically, they became more my pets than hers!
9. Bragging. It really rubbed people the wrong way and alienated me from some good friends.
10. Not liking that some of the company I kept were non-white or of lower socioeconomic background. Implying that I have nothing to gain from associating with them while they were some of my most trusted long standing friends.

Crikey she sure did earn her 'ex'.
My ex-wife when I was going too fast? Stop driving like a maniac! My ex-wife when I drove too slow or hit too many red lights? Can't we get there faster? You're driving like an idiot!
I lasted a little over 20 years with mine, but yours? Id have quit a lot sooner. Sorry man.
I would have broken up with her 2 months into it. lmfao.
6 years. I really wanted to make it work, had a lot of patience, and thought she would change.
Plus, my mom was devastated when she got news of the divorce as I did not tell them what was really going on. I am pretty tight with my parents and they had reservations about me getting married to her though supported me either way.
My dad told me that I have to be prepared to make sacrifices and gave me great advice of how to be a good husband. It really hurt filing for divorce at the time (like experiencing a personal loss) but in hindsight it worked out for the best.
Sometimes it goes the other way.
My wife (before our divorce) * and I went to see a movie with another couple.
When we left the movie, the other guy's wife asked him if he thought one of the actresses in the movie was good-looking.
His loud answer: "Better than you!"
They didn't last too long either...
Back to the original premise:
One time we were living next door in a townhouse to another couple. They had recently had a second child, and he was bemoaning the ensuing lack of love and attention.
I told him that in the "totem pole" of marriage, it's the wife at the top, the kids just below, then the family pet, and at the very bottom, you. He laughed and said "100% true".

That talking down to wait staff and other people that provide paid service to her is a sure "red flag".
She will eventually see you as being a service provider too, though unpaid
I had also heard it said that you should look at how a woman's mother treats her husband, is that is how she is eventually going to treat you.
All seemed good, as her mother treated her father like a king.
My mistake was in looking at that.
What I should have looked at was how her father treated her mother, as he was a bit of an asshole towards her.
Haha - When I announced my impending divorce to my family it 'released the hounds.' I found out my parents quietly detested her, my friends hated being around her, and a few reminded me they warned me the relationship was doomed before I got married. No one was sorry to see her go.
Interesting take - my ex was treated like gold by her mother, but completely rejected at most levels by her father. (they were also divorced)That talking down to wait staff and other people that provide paid service to her is a sure "red flag".

I also found my ex talked down to 'support level staff' at any location, including service. I used to cringe and attempt to ignore it/sweep it under a rug, but eventually, all those issues made me unable to stand being in the same room as her at the end of my marriage. The accumulation of 'shit' overwhelmed me 3 years ago....
For her, confident my incessant cracking of my knuckles or my snoring were huge turnoffs.
Separate bedrooms if snoring is the only issue...
Could be worse - imagine having a wife who thinks shes smarter than you but isnt"
Your both out driving. Shes in passenger seat...
Wife - aaaaaaghhhhh (loud intake of breath) OMG OMG OMG
You slam on thinking your about to hit something you haven't seen.
Wife - I found that hair tie I was looking for...

Mine used to do that when she saw a large crawling bug, whether in our house or in the car.
It was then my job to kill it...
It has been my experience that most people of less than average intelligence are oblivious to that deficiency.
And for obvious reasons it does not pay at all to point that out...
