This is well-understood by irrationalists. Once in a discussion about the necessity of evidence, I got landed with "But you don't demand evidence that your wife loves you, right? You just have faith..."
A clever move. Now arguing the point requires me to... deny that I have faith in my wife?
Ah, the old "agree with me or say something rude!" gambit. I wonder if you could turn it around - "what, are you saying you don't think my wife loves me?"
