Why Is It?

That women will listen to any other male on learning something new, except their husbands. Like driving a car, playing golf, tennis, computer etc. They will even take instruction from a boyfriend, but a husband, no way.

Lack of respect for, lack of faith in the husband's opinion/ability?

I guess it's the same reason men won't ask for directions :wah:

No, that's because men have an inbuilt unerring sense of direction.

So true, we have built in navigational instincts.

Is that why when men are lost they always say "we're taking the scenic route" and it takes longer to get where we are going? :wah:

well it depends how hubby trys to get it across to me. if he talks to me like a child or that i am as DUMB AS A FENCE POST. then he is waisting his breath. It is all in how you present it. Remember, you attract more flies with honey then vinegar;)

Me and my hubby are the complete opposite of this. If I tell him something, he always will ask someone else, usually a complete stranger, just to get the "right answer" which is usually what I've told him in the first place.
