4 Things: Lots of Relationship Dysfunction

[@EmyN]

I don’t like the term “broken home”, I think it’s just another way to guilt women into staying, it’s demonising divorce and making it seem staying with abuse and cheating is better, what a broken home really is when it’s core is rotten with disrespect, cheating and abuse, that’s a broken home

[@ET.Montana]

So true!! What is broken about a single parent home filled with love and no childhood trauma.

[@tashibalampkin8555]

Thank you. I hear that term and HATE IT. My mother was a married single mother and now she's divorced. I have never felt the home she raised me in was broken. It's a good thing she left her ex-husband. Her life is better for it.

[@Egh0127]

Exactly it gaslights them into believing they broke the home for leaving when he broke it by doing something that made her have to leave

[@EmyN]

@@Egh0127 Exactly! It’s like on the same vein of “well, he cheated on you because you weren’t giving him sexual attention”, no accountability for the man’s actions and even further, the woman has to take accountability for HIM

Ozempic post : This husband absolutely 100% did this on purpose. My brother and father both had refrigerated medications, and we didn’t get rid of those until a few months after each of them DIED. A decent human doesn’t “accidentally” throw away their loved one’s medication while it’s still being actively used.

[@AB-jl1un]

Marriage is for the benefit of men, not women. Every couple I have ever known who got divorced followed the same pattern: the man caused the divorce by cheating or being abusive, then he begged his wife to take him back, but the wife refused because she is so happy without him.

One thing about men, they do have enough self-respect to not put up with bs that they put women through. Though it's mostly ego. I really wish women would stop being so desperate. This stuff is depressing tbh.

[@susanplatt5331]

It's not desperation, it's love. We need to relearn what love is, because it's none of the above. We need to learn to fight for ourselves, not the man we 'love'. We need to stop putting our children first and put our own sanity and well being first and not feel guilty or be shamed for doing so. Marriage is just something with a ceremony to keep women placated, just like the ceremony in handmaid's tale.

[@AmericanDreamer]

very true!! And I agree also with Susan's comment below - because most men are selfish by default won't put up with nasty stuff, bit women are giving and loving by nature, hence we doom ourselves to tolerate shit.

I still have men in my comments TO THIS DAY telling me that pregnancy and childbirth are no big deal, just lose weight, and if a woman won’t lose weight, men can stop providing or cheat.

Last story: sounds like the wife didn't go dragging his name through the mud, publicly when he cheated, but then he felt giddy when he did it to her. They're both wrong for cheating, but he's a massive pile of shit for what he did to her over it. The judge was right to grant her everything, because he acted out of retaliation, when she kept his infidelity between them. He deserves to lose everything. I hope he does try to sue his "friend" for defamation. And I hope the judge laughs in his face. It's not defamation to use your own words to expose who you really are to the world. My advice to this OP: get wrekt.

I was just wondering why would his lawyer even suggest he sue his friend. The only way he may have grounds is if it is illegal to record someone without their permission in their state.

I'm not saying this to be cruel. This is a commonality among black culture and indian sub continent culture. We are told we are lucky to be picked. In my generation the men didn't even pick us. Their parents did. (I am unique in that my husband actively pursued me. He still didn't value me. He told me he married me because I cooked well.) As a result , generations of women have had resentment directed to them from husbands who felt that they could have done better. As a result we often see what might be happening in this case. This woman is considering her son and his welfare. But her welfare has to be considered too. And we risk creating an unhealthy relationship with our sons when we have this situation. Sons end up getting husbandified. Almost every clingy motherin law is the result of a baby daddy who didn't value her.

Post #3 - I work in a job that involves reviewing tax returns and family finances. I can’t tell you how many men say they are “self employed”, meaning they own their own “business”…but the “business” makes nothing or consistently LOSES money. These men think they are above getting a job and working for someone else. Usually the wife has a regular 9-5 job that barely covers the family’s expenses. She’s keeping him and his “business” afloat. Everything looks good on the outside, to friends and relatives it appears that he’s providing…but it’s really his WIFE!

[@constancemercedes701]

I am always amazed at how much put up with in relationships. For the 3rd story, this woman is funding a boyfriend of 5 years. Not a husband. A boyfriend. Why?

[@fantym-1]

I still don't understand why women think that paying for the "privilege" of being someone's domestic servant & SW while being married - but, for a mere BF ?

[@shani.ninety]

Stories like this make me glad of my selfish nature 😂 cos like heck am I paying for anyone else! This is crazy but it happens often, they say women are gold diggers there is just as many men looking to be taken care of financially. I’m sorry but how can you feel desire towards a man when he behaves like a dependant. So you have to clean up after him feed him clothe him bathe him.. that’s not a man that’s a son 😅

[@silververnallbells191]

@@shani.ninety I would pay for my Mom, but I ain't paying for no man & NO damn kids! I don't want to deal w/a teenager or change diapers every 3 hours. I liked watching toddlers who were potty trained. I did it for 9yrs, but eventually I did have enough.

[@19katsandcounting]

That last one was golden. Glad karma got him.

[@mamat1213]

Well girl I guess since you’re not leaving (first story) you’d better get to glowing up quick 🙄 maybe she’ll get some self esteem then. Or be ready to cheat 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@kimleemoon]

He said her cooch doesn’t hug. A glow up won’t fix that. She needs to leave. If he’s saying this online, he’s probably verbally abusing her as well.

[@shaypope4732]

11:52 if he really cared about her he wouldn't be dating her while broke if she gets rid of the extra mouth she feeding then she will be able to afford her life again

[@videofan1010]

I'm so tired of people giving men the benefit of the doubt. They make "mistakes" and then ask forgiveness later. They're malicious.

[@user-kpkxgtj]

First post - just because you don't want to leave doesn't mean he won't leave you. But all that aside, is being in that particular marriage worth it?

[@dfya3294]

The last story is WILD AF 😂. He cause the situation & blamed everyone but him smh. This is peak FAFO & karma for that azz😂. He really thought he was on top of everything & control the situation& he ended up getting burn lmao. I love it😂🤣

[@parklady4233]

Broke girl is being used. He is just sitting on her while he grows his business. He will find his dream girl when he is a success.

[@nameunknown1519]

Please keep doing these stories. I listen to them every day to break myself from the life long conditioning of getting with an ex-why just to have one. These are a great reminder that it just isn’t worth the risk.

[@jaifyre702]

First story: The home is already broken. It's dysfunctional and her husband hates her. He will eventually cheat and leave her. Sure don't want advice but I hope she got mad money stored up. By the sounds of it she might not and when he do leave she's going to act so shocked like she didn't see it coming. He's disgusted with her and his self. More so himself. I never can understand how a man can impregnate a woman with HIS SEED and then in turn her upset at her changed body. He did that to her. Like WTF. I hope she finds the courage to leave him because he's going to leave her high and dry if she don't

[@Egh0127]

These male podcasts are getting dangerous asf

[@kimleemoon]

The 1st woman needs to leave. How can she live with someone that feels that way about her? He basically hates her. Let him go on and find an 18yo. Staying in that situation just so she can say she’s married is ridiculous!

[@sunsetanimator4187]

No! Don’t bring him over here!! Repulsive piece of work 🤢🤮 that one made my stomach drop, honestly men like this should have the title of “Street Walkers”

[@InimitableAde]

7:11 I think it was intentional. Some people take Ozempic to lose weight. Sounds like the OP was too, based on her comment about "food noise". He saw her losing weight, but he wants her heavy to keep her at home and under his influence. Can't have her losing weight, feeling good about herself and then realizing she'd feel even better without him.

[@Southern.Nappiness]

Hmmm.....Good point!!

[@Pinkapotomus]

The third lady, needs to save some money by getting rid of him. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@happygolucky9004]

Broke boyfriend story: for the love of God, stop moving in with boyfriends. It's putting you in a bad position.

[@ayamempress1579]

Story 4..... Burbs... I was like, wtf is this horror story you're sharing, then update 2 came and I thought, this sounds like the calm before the storm. Too much early gloating and wanting to win, as well as the maliciousness.... Then... JUSTICE lol. At least he told the whole truth lol😅

[@TheePrincessBrat]

We know men only admit to what they got caught doing, and they have specific parameters for what counts as cheating…so was that really the only instance of cheating? You can’t convince me he wasn’t testing her to see if he could get away with that behavior. Idk if he said anything about becoming a better husband. Just that he hasn’t cheated since and that he improved himself.

[@shaypope4732]

I was like ok he cheated first so they might do the therapy thing again then I was pissed annoyed then happy she got justice for what he started

[@shaypope4732]

​@@TheePrincessBratso true lol that's probably why he went through here phone to begin with

[@TheePrincessBrat]

@@shaypope4732 right? Lol cause he didn’t even say what made him do that. “Confirmed she was cheating”. Confirm means he was suspicious to begin with, right? He’s leaving out a lottt. That relationship was clearly on its last leg

[@annloundy333]

In the medicine being thrown out case since it was Ozempic the wife was probably losing weight and it made him insecure and he threw it out. Instead he sees her spiraling out of control and public opinion, now he feels bad and trying to fix it so she won't leave. He didn't think about the ramifications of his actions. And these are our logical leaders

[@malaikatyembile5049]

I wish for Valentine’s Day they could show these type of stories to balance with all the gifts people show ( just for the vibes) one of the most entertaining Reddit threads you have ever read but I feel bad for all the people who didn’t choose themselves ,just so they could say they’re in a relationship or what they perceive as being in love.

[@genevieveaniko6492]

First OP doesn't realise that she's probably going to end up alone anyway. She's not understanding her husbands comments. He's looking for a hot young girl and when he gets one, he will discard his wife asap.. Because he dispises her. She fighting for a 'marriage' trying to protect her image at the expense of her sons wellbeing. Making decisions like this, gives wicked men reasons to justify why they abuse women.

[@marys2406]

"self reflecting to do" He should of started the self reflection before he cheated on his wife.

[@PraiseJ-Pope]

1. I am a firm believer of "You impregnated her, she gave birth to your child, you worship the damn floor she walks on". And it's only a small step from shitting on her online to shitting on her in rl for the son to hear. Trust me, children copy everything they see/hear their parents do. And a broken home is not a home with a loving mom and a child, a broken home is a hurt mother, a hurting father poisoning the childs mind and an innocent child seeing the abuse.

[@sonyab2u974]

First Story: I don’t shack up and I definitely wouldn’t buy a home with a bf….he’s using her

[@no_peace]

It's a broken home already with him acting like that

[@decoraqueena6413]

Story 1: she doesn't want to leave because she doesn't want a broken home, but does her spouse feel the same way? I willing to bet he'd wreck his home once he gets his tight 18 year old. So it's a lose-lose situation for her either way. Story 4: a typical XY. always ready to forgive his own indiscretions but will not extend the same grace to women.

[@chattingwithjojo]

That marriage thing and being chosen.... I'm so glad I've released myself !!!!!!

[@TNtuli-dt8vs]

Story 3: why are y’all even going out?! He’s gonna leave her once his business is making great money.

[@valsballoonsandbusiness]

The home is already broken, though....

[@constancep7632]

OP2 - If he didn't know what it was, then say "Honey, is this important? Can I throw it away?" Come on. It's not that hard.

[@ayingi3461]

The first OP is already in a broken home and raising her son by herself. Smh

[@aprilchow-chee5281]

Idgaf if I'm an example of a broken home I'm leaving!

[@beepbopboop7727]

Men are for a good time not a long time. Honestly, I will say this til I die.

[@welisanerich5376]

She needs to leave him

[@marciahohenfeld4030]

First story: She doesn't have to leave, he is gonna leave her, as soon as he finds a Younger woman.

[@moyazflair6369]

Story #3 - Girl, just run! It's time to let go and find your own path. If his business takes off, he'll likely forget all your contributions and claim it's all his. Remember, you're not married, so legally, you're on your own.

[@constancep7632]

OP4 is the definition of FAFO. Also, his lawyer is a completely wrong and basically just making a buck off him. He would not win a diffamation suit.

[@islandgirl8067]

The lawyer wants to make more money off him.

[@ANNA-fr333]

The first advice comment from the second story was so good and real... Having access to feminine advice like this is one of the most redeemable things about the modern internet driven society. I needed real words like this when I was younger, so badly. But I have them now, and that's all that matters. Blessings to you and what you do m'am.

[@quinmcmullen9437]

Yeah I agree about the lady with the bf who is causing her to grow broke. Dump him and sell the house.

[@Chosenaire]

Some of these men really hate their wives/girlfriends.

[@ADR-xn6dg]

I was the OP who didn’t want to divorce to keep the family. But I realized that the family wouldn’t benefit watching me and their father consistently fight or not seeing their parents ever happy. My dtr now is going through it with her father about how he uses his words and I’m now going into family therapy with my dtr and one of my sons to try to help them with their feelings regarding our divorce and how their dad essentially scares them. 😩
