3 Things: Woman Stands up to BF's Parents, King Baby Husband, A-hole Husband

[@ccannon1]

13:59 he doesn’t want a divorce because the military will, at the very least, make sure he’s paying child support. Also he’ll make less money because he’s not married anymore. He doesn’t want a divorce because he’ll face actual consequences.

[@annjohnson4061]

You see how they KNOW when someone will actually do something (military) they make firm decisions. She let this man cheat on her, be lazy and STILL gave him a baby. He knows she ain't about nothing. But the military....

[@aces2342]

FACTS

[@jerrit20]

Yup!

[@madalice5134]

Yeah, I've heard quite a few stories of men joining the military and rushing to get a wife appliance because they get a pay bump. Women need to realize being swept off your feet by a man is actually love bombing and men rarely do anything unless there's something in it for them, including getting married.

[@L.Schulze]

And even if they wanted to help out, it should be OP and her BF. Not just OP. That's crazy. And the idea that his parents are INSULTING her...? Nah. Time to pack up and move on.

That last guy, the one who told his girlfriend "That's why you're here, to take care of this baby" just unintentionally showed his hand. He doesn't care about her as a person; he just wants a girlfriend appliance who'll take the burden of caring for *his* son off his shoulders. What a leech! 🙄

And the BF is perfectly fine with it. It's not that he doesn't have a backbone. It's that he agrees with them! The first time they started assigning her chores, BF should have at a minimum, got off his ass and helped her.

[@ktmggg]

OMG! All of those posts are bad, but the first one touched a nerve. My first boyfriend's mom treated me like that. The boyfriend never stood up for me. The breaking point was when she demanded I polish their silverware for his sister's wedding. A wedding I wasn't invited to. No way was I going to polish 50 place settings, two complete tea services, two coffee pots and several platters and serving bowls. We broke up that night as he drove me home. I learn a valuable lesson at age 17.

[@takeishaarmstead4686]

[@Mydogslove2laugh]

Agreed

[@L.Schulze]

Retired military. You're correct. The vast majority are completely indifferent to the actual upkeep of a relationship or household, just want the excuse to get out of duty (while slagging on the women soldiers/military who are also pulling more than their weight in the shop and responsible for the kids because "she's the girl"). The immediate slander from their mouths any time a woman promotes or gets recognized by an award. The ongoing underlying harassment and innuendo, the fact that you CAN'T trust them to keep their hands and peens to themselves, and the glossing over of the fact that incoming fire doesn't have estrogen sensors. The cognitive dissonance they have when I mention I'm a combat veteran, (and worked Mortuary Affairs) is nearly always visible on their face, and then the aggression or excuses/accusations start...USAF 1997-2014.

[@yourbestam]

As someone who's in the military, I will say that a lot of people get married young & fast just so they can have that set homemaker and be able to stay out of the barracks. You would not believe how many women have children with these men but can't even drive, let alone have their own job. They're in a predicament where they're married to these men for so long even though the only dated for 3 months and now they can't keep a job because they need to move again. She can't go to school cuz the kids need attention. Can't work on themselves cuz they need to be the stool their husbands can kick their feet up on and relax. Unless you have a community to fall back into, once you're married and in this type of lifestyle it's extremely hard to get out of. The woman in story 2 needs to leave now. Ain't no tellin how many of these women are abused, maybe even her, but don't include it because they don't want to hear the answer they already know.

[@creallyreal]

[@p0litical]

The military wife needs to get out, without saying anything. When he says “does not want a divorce,” you cannot rely on him being safe to leave with any notice.

[@LoremLipsumz]

Omg. I had the worst feeling during that story that she’s in real danger with that “man” she needs to plan quietly and leave asap. At least she’d be back in the states and far, far away from him. She’s in serious denial. Godspeed to her.😢

[@MissSothePeacefulObserver]

Hearing all these stories every day just makes me realize how much so many men still see us as property. That's all we are. 1st story, He won't stand up for his property (girlfriend) with his awful parents. 2nd story, he cheated on his property (wife) and has no desire to take care of the rest of his property (his child) 3rd story, he hits his property (wife) but is jealous of other men taking to his property at work. That's all we are. Never humanized. Just things to service them and "make them happy", until they get bored with us and want to buy new property.

[@jjohnson4975]

Mic 🎤! This is the harsh reality for all women....😢 SMH

[@b1njjj95]

Yup! The sad reality. But it doesn't have to be our reality if we ignore nem and focus on ourselves.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Story 2: I agree with the comment saying this man doesn't love his child. If he has openly admitted to planning to abandon his child if he can't have his wife, too, he's not gonna be a positive influence in that child's life even if she stays to keep the family together. The kid is better off without him at this point.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

The update makes me feel less sympathy for this woman. "We got married after dating for 6 months, so we barely knew each other. He confessed to cheating on me, but evidently, I kept sleeping with him, because we ended up pregnant 4 months later. In spite of working full time, I have been responsible for all domestic chores our entire marriage, even though I've addressed it as a problem many times. So I decided to continue with the pregnancy and raise a baby with this man." It's like when people have a badly behaved dog and decide to get another dog. Like, what made you think this was working so well you should further complicate the situation.

Ladies if a guy threatens to not help raise their kids like in the 2nd story, just ask him, 'why he thinks the kid will stay with me? 👀 And act confused. 😂 No, nothing scares most guys like the idea of having to be a single father. Otherwise, you're basically trying to threaten him with a good time. No, most of these guys want to be single. Our military is beyond misogynistic. No, the only reason most marry is to increase their income and bc they don't want to live on base bc it'll mean they have to help clean, guard the barracks. I speak as a Marine's ex wife.

[@Dot-t2k]

So, active duty single servicemen are Uncle Sam's wife appliances?

The guy spazzing over her speaking to her _coworkers_ is probably cheating. Way too many accusations. Like just say you want to leave and be with your AP.

Story 2, the military not-dad: He is absolutely correct when he complains that "I'll never be good enough" because he does not WANT to be good enough. I mean, he's _already_ not involved in the child's life, so what exactly is he threatening her with?

Emotional blackmail, and straight up blackmail manipulation using the child

[@jasminejeanine2239]

The only defense men have is most of us were raised by authoritarian household where speaking up wasn't allowed. Ppl tend to revert to children around their parents. No, boys as a rule learn early on to prioritize themselves above everything else. They aren't used to doing anything that might cost them bc quite frankly, women keep dating them either way. We aren't horrified or disgusted anywhere near enough when men do the selfish things.

[@jasminejeanine2239]

My rule is simple. If a man can't stand up to his parents, he's not mature enough to date. Clearly, he needs more time by himself. No, never date men who haven't taken care of themselves for at least a year. This one hint will save you so much heartache and frustration. For one, now they can't pretend they can't do it. For another, they actually know how much work it is, seeing as they've done it themselves. No far too many mother treat their boys like kings and do everything for them.

2nd story, OPs husband is just trying to scare her out of leaving him by saying he wouldn't be in the baby's life. She's already a married single mother; it'll be a lot less trouble going back to her family & becoming a real single mom. 3rd story must be rage bait; he doesn't work, drinks, hits her, & she thinks the marriage can be saved? 😳🥴

[@ashassassin]

S2. Divorce him now. And file for child support at least he's military and they'll make him pay his child support. But otherwise it sounds like op is on her own. Leaving him and giving you and your baby peace is priceless, take the opportunity he is giving you!

[@agnes349]

Could the military king baby be any more of a cliché? I live in a town with an active base and let me tell you, those guys are not breaking their backs at all. They have a lot of time and energy to be on Tinder all the time picking up girls. And when they let them out on weekends, they're cheeeeeeeeeating

[@ragrabbit101]

Alimony will be less now than if she remains for another 5 odd years. Becausse she is going to have to leave this man Also, if he does drink like that he is NOT SAFE TO BE AROUND YOUR CHILDREN

[@DianaPrinceitiswhatitis]

These women need to leave these men period.

[@annejohnson5875]

Is this woman's husband maybe cheating on her and gaslighting his wife?

[@nahplop2896]

The yellow story (#3 I think) was hard to understand at the beginning with the phone call partner because it was confusing to follow but it took a dive fast. That lady needs to drop his ass to the junkyard so fast, the man is literally trash (violent, useless in the home, addicted, abusive and doesn't want to change). She must have the patience and resilience of some sort of goddess to living with him for 10 years. She needs to get the mind click and spine to say "enough" and get rid of him.

[@petraullmann389]

Second story, the military dude: he is telling her he will not be involved in the child’s life 🙄 he is using the baby as leverage so she won’t leave him. I also think he is bluffing, pretty sure he would still want to see his kid, unless of course, he never cared for the baby in the first place! And she is not doing anything to the child, it’s him ffs

[@Emo2heart]

Mark narrations mentioned. ❤❤❤❤ Love mark .... The husband in that story is insane.

[@rubypayne4965]

That is malicious compliance. So is doing a job poorly.

[@denishawalters1813]

I think folks need to speak up sooner. Tell the parents that’s not our dynamic. I don’t do the 50’s style wife stuff plus I’m not his wife. Say that I love that he carries his fair share around the house. We serve each other equally. This what I told my mom about my bf now fiancé. Haven’t had real issues since. Why go along then blow up about it later? I’d even call my bf over to do the chore together son his mom would get the picture.

[@b1njjj95]

That first story! Critical yikes! Good on OP for standing up for herself. Her bf was definitely testing her.

[@tiffanyclary9540]

She would get alimony and his service check would also be decreased because he would no longer be married and she would have the child.

[@LunaIluminada5]

I LOOOOOVE Mark Narrations 😊. His voice is soooo soothing...

[@jasminejeanine2239]

Ladies just avoid men who aren't helpful from the start. It'll save you so much time. No, don't try and change men Just say nothing about what you want or desire so they can't fake it and walk away when you learn they aren't the kind of person you wish to date. Don't try and talk them out of anything. Just sit back and see what they do.

[@blackkettlesoapcompany1099]

He is bringing the girlfriend to his parents' home to be trained.

[@beeautifuldreamer2211]

🗣Say it with me now,"Ssiiinnngggllleeee"All these stories pissed me off. Single. ❤Also can we please potential in 2024. I'm learning this too. May we all believe the monster when he shows up and act accordingly.

[@jasminejeanine2239]

14:50 It's fine to threaten divorce. We just need to start following through on our threats.

[@Emptytopfloor]

The last husband is cheating for sure.

[@Holisticallycarol]

Mitary guy, he better think twice. There's a bunch of lonely old broken down veterans out there. He better go sit in the lobby at the VA & see how it is to not have family support.

[@Educat3d_Godd3ss]

First story I’m cursing out the parents and ✌🏾 on the bf. Absolutely not the AH. Girl you ain’t stuck, better leave. Ugh The second to last story, girl you can’t fix that because my ex had the worse insecurities to where he’d stonewall me like a damn child. Baby I am 35. Take that shit to someone who cares enough 😂😂These menz BLARING insecurities is so ugly 😂😂😂

[@themeg5199]

Just got some cameras for my house. There for my son and daughter cause I’m a single mom. Why not get some cameras for your home to see what’s going on and how he’s treating the children and if he’s acting like an ass it’s always nice to be able to pull up the recording and show him. Or if you’re vindictive like me show the world.

Mark narration is a you tube channel and also related Reddit. He, a bloke from the UK, narrates Reddit stories, usually AITA.

[@Gumbier_Than]

And his sweet pup Poppy. 😊

[@TMFJ747]

Thank you, Burb. 💯

[@bEverCurious]

Sounds like malicious compliance to me.

#1 is she for real ...they.and him told her from the beginning .... what was there to think about ...3 years????? #2 Why do people act like this is something new ... I don't know why women refuse to pay attention 🤔

[@nahplop2896]

About your comment on story 2, sometimes I wonder the same thing. Some women seem to have very low standards so they settle with assholes because "at least this one isn't violent and doesn't has addictions", others sound like they are used to being abused or treated poorly so don't really see the red flags or all the small way their chosen partner is a bad partner or the guy changed slowly for the worse once he thought he had that lady sufficiently tied to him to not worry about separation, sort of a frog in a heating pot situation. It makes me sad overall and I'm glad I found this channel because I was in the low self-esteem, distorted reality group. Those discussions here help a lot, especially since in real life I struggle making real friends instead of acquaintances, I get different takes and points of view from everyone!

[@TheePrincessBrat]

You can’t take care of a kid, then why did you have one? Correction, you don’t _want_ to take care of YOUR child. Smh. I have to admit I was surprised to see how active one of my exes was in his child’s life, because of stuff like this. Young fathers always try to get out of stepping up and are usually a headache. But he never put his parental duties on me, never changed a single diaper 😂 Why would you trust your kid with someone else when you’re able bodied and have time??

[@Golden-Lady]

With that video, she should've just pull the "dip & text": dip outside, get a safe distance to text him that she left, leave his messages on silent and unread. Don't go home, turn off all trackers and tags. Disappear. It's time that we start matching energy: stay when it's convenient, leave when it gets inconvenient, ghost them and tell them dudes stuff like "it ain't mine," "baby cryin,"and "maaan, eff them kids." 🤣

[@therealhellkitty5388]

The jealous insecure dude is projecting…. He’s the one who’s cheating.

[@teacherella1338]

„How can I do this to our baby?“. No, it’s how can HE do this to our baby?

[@StoutShako]

My boyfriend is a trans man, and honestly, I can't recommend it enough. He understands every last thing I've been through as a Uterus Enjoyer™️ and is so supportive of me no matter what I choose to do. No arguments about "Are having periods as bad as getting kicked in the balls?" No condescending attitude when I bring up how I'm treated at work sometimes (it is a massively male dominated field). No arguing about whether or not we should have kids (we physically can't unless I want to go to a sperm bank and HELLL NAH I am GOOD). Plus since we're both bi, we can bond over video game crushes we have LOL. Can't recommend it enough. He is the LIGHT OF MY LIFE and proof positive that there really is someone out there for everyone!
