A more elaborate way could be, 'I understand you're presenting this story, but I have my own beliefs and experiences that make it difficult for me to embrace it. Thank you for sharing, but I can't go for it.' This not only politely declines but also gives a bit of an explanation without getting into too much detail.
Tell her that you love listening to her stories but you have a task or thought that you need to quickly attend to. For example, 'Dear, your stories are always great, but I just remembered I need to check on something for a few minutes. Can we take a short break?'
Polite behavior involves treating her as you would any other woman. Offer respect and courtesy. Don't stare or make her feel uncomfortable. If you're in a social setting, include her in conversations in a normal way. For example, if you're talking about travel, ask her if she has any interesting travel stories. Also, don't make jokes at her expense or use derogatory language.
If someone asks you for spanking stories, you can say something like 'I don't think that's an appropriate topic for conversation. I believe we should focus on more positive and general topics like our hobbies or recent travels.' This response firmly but politely sets the boundary and redirects the conversation to a more suitable area.
Well, you might try something like, 'I'm having a hard time staying engaged with this story. Maybe we could talk about something that's a bit more exciting for both of us?' That way, you're being kind but still getting your point across.
You can also joke about it. Say something like 'Dad, that story is like a broken record! Let's hear something different for a change.' Using humor can soften the message and make it more likely that they won't be offended when you ask them to stop repeating the same story.
You can simply laugh it off and say something like 'That's quite an interesting story.' It shows that you are taking it in good humor without being overly involved.
