Women always complain men don’t show their feeling enough and don’t communicate but here he is putting it all out there and you want him to stop both? His wife should agree with him that her parents are stupid or she is very naïve. His tone or delivery may be off but after 20 yrs she should if she has paid attention know how he is
It means, the delivery and timing was Not Appropriate.
What does it mean to have tact?
a keen sense of what to say or do to avoid giving offense; skill in dealing with difficult or delicate situations. 2. a keen sense of what is appropriate.
You should re-read what I wrote the first time - pause when you read me saying "Even though I agree with you..."
And pause again when you read me saying "Even though I agree heavily with your feelings."
Tact.
And besides that - yeah, according to the Bible, it Is the responsibility of the Husband to lead and protect his marriage.
Is expressing "Your parents are retards" in front of his wife's parents Leading or Protecting their marriage?
No.
Their marriage was not under threat. There was no reason to say that.
The message was delivered out of Pride - His Pride, at the Expense of protection of his marriage.
I'm not sure what you expected.
Even though I agree with you - that's a pretty rude thing to do to your wife in front of her parents.
IMO - apologize and own that you made a dumb mistake.
When you got married, you made a covenant between You, Your Wife and God.
After God, your Wife is your highest responsibility and commitment on this Earth.
If you did something to jeopardize that, you need to take responsibility for it and make your best effort to repair.
In God's reality, no political debate or opinion is above your marriage.
Even though I agree heavily with your feelings - as a married man here, I am urging you to do your Husband duty and put your feelings aside.

Maybe you don't understand what "Rude" means.
It doesn't mean Untrue.
It doesn't mean "shut up".
It means, the delivery and timing was Not Appropriate.

I'm not debating with you.
Have a good day.
