My ex-wife questioned everything I said or did...
And I mean everything. Cooking some dinner? She'd tell me that something needed turning up/turning down/would be cooked too soon/wouldn't be ready in time/was far too much/wasn't enough for everyone, to the extent that eventually I banned her from the kitchen when I was cooking.

If we drove somewhere, I'd always get "I don't know why you've gone this way, this is the long way" (even when going somewhere regularly, I'd deliberately choose a different route every time - apparently they were *all* the long way).

One night she asked me what time Eastenders was on. Checking online I told her 9 o'clock.
"That can't be right" she replied "It's usually 8"
"Yeah, well it's on at 9 tonight coz of the football" I told her. She didn't believe me (I think she said something like "They wouldn't do that, you must be reading it wrong") and checked herself, only to discover that it was in fact on at 9 o'clock because of the football.

In a similar vein, driving one day:
"Cor, it's hot isn't it"
"Yes" I replied, checking the temperature display in the car "About 29 degrees I reckon!"
"Ooh no, it can't be that hot"
"Well that's what the temperature display on the dashboard says"
"Yeah but that won't be right"

The final straw was when we had a blazing row the week before Mother's Day because I'd ordered some flowers for my mum but she didn't think I'd ordered any for her, on behalf of her 14 & 15 year-old daughters. My protestations of "Well I'm not going to tell you the week before, am I?" fell on deaf ears (and I didn't even want to mention the fact that her daughters were more than capable of ordering some flowers themselves, but were too lazy to do it so I'd done it anyway).

tl;dr - I married a mentalist, she was irrational. So was I for putting up with it

I've been out with someone like this too.
Someone who just had to be right all the time, no matter what. If you were in an argument or a debate and you were absolutely, positively, definitely and obviously in the right, and proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt, she'd go back to some irrelevant subsidiary branch of the argument for which she could be right. It was like "The war's over and I've lost; time to fight the battle."

*nods* My ex was like that, he'd automatically contradict everything, EVERYTHING, I said - drove me mad.
When I told him something I'd have already thought up answers to the stupid arguments he'd instantly come out with.

Like:

Me - Our eldest desperately needs £100. Here is the money. As I am off to work now, will you take it to the Post Office and send it by Registered Post so she'll get it safely?
Ex - No, a cheque is safer. Nobody else can cash it.
Me - No, she needs CASH, a cheque will take too long to clear.
Ex - But what if the cash is stolen on the way? Like in a train robbery?
Me - It will be insured so she'll still get the money.
Ex - But that might take weeks to come through, and she needs the money now!
Me - Bye, I'm popping to the Post Office...

They might implode or something

Would have been quicker just to do it yourself.
Long term, you should have just gotten your eldest into rehab.
