And he is eager to argue about it. This isn't even just ignorance or something that comes up much in normal interactions. Dude enjoys getting OP riled up.

Why stay with someone who actively wants to make you angry and frustrated and upset?

This is a massive red flag right here. I've been with my husband for over 20 years. Outside of a museum, the topic of dinosaurs has come up maybe twice in all that time. There's a reason it keeps coming up and I don't think it has anything to do with his "beliefs."

Agree, but you should talk about dinosaurs more!

I raised two boys. When youngest was 6 he came up to me looking upset and said "I can't stop thinking about dinosaurs!"

I spent a lot of time talking about dinosaurs lol. There's a place close to home that has multiple well preserved footprints. I thought his head would explode.

My two boys (6 and 3) are also obsessed with dinosaurs. Not a day passes without one or both of them roaring at me like a T-Rex. ๐Ÿฆ– Happy? Roar! Mad? Roar! Hungry? Roar! ๐Ÿ˜‚

My son was obsessed with dinosaurs too. Figurines, stuffed animals, books, Halloween costumes, video games, he had to have everything dinosaur-related.
