Lazy Husband Installs 21 Surveillance Cameras in House Before Wife's Death | Matt Leili Analysis

Dr. Todd's persona is fairly typical of male counsellors. The field of counselling/psychology is feminist dominated, so for the few men who still work in the field to survive they must be seen and heard to be feminist by their colleagues, must keep their voice a calm monotone, must not move hands when talking, must blame men for the problems of society, and must make female colleagues laugh without breaking persona. Its all about being seen to be "the one good man".

[@kenwillis8487]

That is so true! My ex wife would constantly accuse of of cheating with the neighbor Stephanie ( we lived in an apartment building ) cause she would come home and I’d be outside smoking and then go inside! I realize it looked shady in retrospect but after being accused already and embarrassed I did not want an argument in front of the other neighbors! She would keep on for hours and the angrier I got the more proof that was that I was cheating. I would leave at 2:00 am with a garbage bag of clothes quite often cause she kicked me out and then be accused again a week later! I never raised my hand only my voice but she would say I could call the cops and have you arrested for assault and they would believe me as she was rubbing her cheek to make it appear red! I finally left and didn’t come back she filed for divorce on abandonment even though she knew how to find me though it was the cheapest divorce cause it didn’t cost me anything more than pride and stuff! Later I found out she was diagnosed bi polar and also that she was cheating on me the whole time! Learned a lot about myself and marriage during that timeframe! Been married going on 13 years now and couldn’t be happier!

Just imagine, if your choice in men was only slightly worse- you would already be dead. There are many women not here in the comments section because they've already been killed. Someone has to be the victim in the relationship- because relationships are never fair, and that's why 95% of them fail before death. Its actually rare that death does a relationship apart, but usually, that is supposed to indicate a successful relationship! The man is usually the victim. If a man cannot accept being the victim, they revolt, its systematic. As much as I think women are horrible to date, it really is a much larger risk to your life and safety to date a man.

[@kingcosworth2643]

Maybe he's resentful, it's absolutely clear he was a piece of sh1t before the marriage to Nique. It's hard wired into us men the desire to provide. For all of human existence, certainly since civilisations the common arrangement was men being the bread winner and women responsibility is the home and family, I've even seen it with indigenous tribesmen in Siberia, both roles as important as each other. Only now we have decided that this is crap and by forced education, society is trying to switch this arrangement for 'whatever' goal, but I don't like the chances of it working. Men feel inferior and simply 'incompetent' if he is earning less than his partner, and it has been recorded many times that the women's attraction to her partner drops quite aggressively if she is out earning him. Neither are useful for long partnerships, the other reason is that there are no examples of a society structured like that that has existed for any length of time, same as with rulers, there has been some amazing female queens and rulers in general, I'm not saying women can not do these things at all, just in general i bossing's more suited to a male brain so you will get a higher consistency of decent Prime Ministers, decent is a big ask, competent enough to read into a microphone

That HAS to happen, or your soldiers will start suffering severe mental breakdowns and irrational bouts of aggression. Matt was an instigator. Whatever it took to provoke a fight, then blame her for being the problem. It's called gaslighting. Abusers use it to keep their victims compliant.

[@zusk8556]

Agree with everything you said, except that it's not usually the case that men are emasculated by the woman earning more, it's that the woman outearning her partner begins to resent him and lose attraction, which then can lead to feelings of emasculation. Guys aren't intimidated by strong career women, it's just generally known that it's not a good situation for the man if she starts becoming the breadwinner. Tons of divorce stories where the woman started earning more, began to resent her "lesser" husband, then leaves him. Nothing to excuse the guy in this case, just wanted to point out that that's a common misconception/assumption women make about men.

I like how several people seemed to refer to Nikki as violent in Matt's defense while she was literally dead from murder. Like I get it, I know she could have been violent historically, but surely he exhibited some kind of threatening behavior at some point and didn't just suddenly murder her. Idk. I'm less surprised about her being reported as violent and more surprised about them painting the relationship as having only one violent partner. 🤔

[@blk5124]

I can't watch the video just yet and was just reviewing comments. I'm curious about your hetero comment. Does verbal abuse present differently for lesbian couples or for homosexual couples? I am open to the idea of considering this but I just always thought of verbal abuse as pretty much the same (non-gendered) abuse that can pop up in any type of relationship - romantic or not, straight or otherwise. If you don't mind, please expand on your thoughts. I am intrigued.

[@Jessica.Rachel]

@@blk5124 I just mean by that there's a typical physical imbalance between men and women, though there are always exceptions!

[@francesbernard2445]

Hook up culture is bad period. In this neighborhood where I live everyone has installed security cameras on the outside of their homes after a house on this street had to be torn down because of an explosion which happened in the basement of that house. While renovations were being done to the vacant building in which I live in now; for awhile some homelss people lived in the garage when I could not inspect the building as often because I was healing from a roll over car accident in which I was a passenger. Any person who lives alone in their own suite in a multifamily building has the right to install security cameras inside of their home which will not be monitored by outsiders.
