The past two relationships I've been in were with women who claimed to see the future. The first one was religious and told me that God was revealing shit to her . At first I believed her, but as time went on she made Madame Cleo look like Nostradamus. regardless I still smiled and nodded so that I wouldn't hurt her feelings. Eventually she started doing scandalous shit and saying things like "Don't worry about this huge debt I just racked up in your name. I just had a dream that you were recording with Christina Agulara."
The second woman wasn't manipulative with her shit, but again claimed she could see the future. Of course she was about as accurate as Stevie Wonder doing a traffic report. She would say crazy shit like "If you move to Oakland your going to get shot."
My mom even got in on that. I was about to drive to an out of town show last winter and she begs me to cancel. She says that if I go she has a "feeling" that I'm going to hit some black ice on the road, spin out, have an accident and die. I did the show anyway and aside from a few minor fishtails on the way back I was fine.
Forgive me for generalizing but after dealing with these and other would be female fortune tellers I really got to ask, do y'all really believe that you have that ESP or is just a tactic you use to get an upper hand?
Men, how do you tactfully put a woman in check when she starts with that nonsense?
