women gatekeep relationships… not men [groom’s gross vows]

[@lookaroundyou8108]

"Normalize leaving the man at the altar" in Kuwait a woman was getting married to her man and after they signed the papers and are now husband and wife, they were leaving and she was in her weeding dress so she stumbled and fell down, the husband immediately told her "are you stupid or blind? Get up" she turned around and asked for divorce, her case was recorded to be the fastest divorce, her marriage lasted 3 minutes exactly, honestly everyone on social media agreed with her, she saved herself from a life of humiliation.

There's a reason why divorced men marry quickly and divorced woman have zero desire to remarry. It's a scam.

[@coolbreeze5683]

Women usually marry for love and are disappointed a lot of the time when the guy ends up being a dud. Men look for whoever is available at the time, they become a chameleon to try and trick the woman into falling in love with them then they drop their mask after marriage. It's not a compliment to be "picked" by a guy and it's great that women are finally starting to wake up to that truth! I'm glad young women especially are realizing this because older men usually try to manipulate young women expecting them to play along with their bad behaviour.

It's so so so sad and disgusting how they talk about their wives like they are their property and even sharing vulgar details about them with "the guys".

It’s her job to deal with the kids!” “Why can’t she lose the baby weight/get a job/stop nagging me!” But when those women finally leave, or pass on from all the stress, those men are LOST. Their homes fall apart. They can barely feed themselves. They whine that she “left for no reason”. They play the victim. They start looking for their next victim. So glad we’re waking up finally!

[@coolbreeze5683]

These guys are just ridiculous. If a woman has her own job and is financially independent, they complain about how she's "too independent" and they worry she'll leave him. Then there are ones who enter into marriage where there's an agreement that the wife will stay home and raise the kids and the husband will go to work and earn money for the family. The husband still complains about the wife and insults her, thinking him acting like an a-hole to his wife and kids is part of their agreement and when she gets sick of it, leaves and takes half of his assets, he gets mad and makes himself look like the victim. He went into the marriage agreeing that his financial assets are shared with his family then is mad when that no longer works in his favour.

In that last screenshot, his posture is like a guy pissing on a tree, that's how he's standing towards his wife. Truly disgusting. My tale of caution: My ex fiance always treated me well. People saw us as a power couple. Many women came to me saying they ditched their partner because they saw how much love, balance, and respect my partner showed me and it inspired them. We shared a business, we shared a stage, he always elevated me publicly and I felt so safe. We had an engagement party, and his mother tried to full on sabotage it). I was scrambling with all the details and hardly anyone to help- when the guests showed up I was sweaty, un-showered, a mess. My ex was having fun, casually talking to everyone, ignoring what was happening. I was stressed, came out to the yard with wet hair and asked him for help. He looked at me and said harshly, "NOPE. I'm DONE. What's done is done and I'm DONE with working on this party." He said this in front of his parents and others, and I felt so humiliated and abandoned by him. Later he cried and begged me not to end it, he loves me blah blah blah, "please don't let one day erase all these years." I stayed longer but that moment haunted me, I couldln't shake it. He ended up completely screwing me over in the end., financially, during a time I was ill and fighting for my life- and also took one of my dogs. So ladies, PLEASE protect yourselves. Even if you let him provide, have your OWN bag separately. You simply cannot trust men, because their internalized misogyny and privalege (you exist to please me) may pop up at any moment. Even with supposedly 'conscious' men who are heavy into self development and working on their wounds/inner child work, therapy, etc...The new standard is I won't date anyone who isn't CONSCIOUSLY working on divesting from these patriarchal systems.

Easy for you to say from your high horse. You make alot of assumptions from one paragraph. The whole party didn't hear what he said to me, that would be another level. We had about 4 years together and he ONLY showed respect, consistancy, healthy communication, and balanced partnership, shared values. He did alot for me as well. Hardly anyone would break up with someone over One* incident that appeared out of character. You have ZERO empathy and not sure what your point was except to point your finger and judge. You missed the point of my post, which was about speaking to the underlying misogyny can have even the seemingly best guys turn. And btw? After that incident it didn't "get worse." We were together longer and he was never rude to me that way again. Not even close. He was always doting, when I got sick he was making me tea and always thoughtful...I wanted to illustrate that men have the shadow of misogyny and it can emerge. It's patriarchy that made him feel entitled to me centering him...it was 3 years later when I ended it, he stole everything. Like a little king baby boy. So many men don't show this aspect, as long as they're getting their way. And that's something alot of womem don't realize. We think we are being loved unconditionally bc its so hard to find a man whos adoring, respectful etc...so we think its "gold" when we find it.

Also, if he proposes, tell him you'll say yes, but only after he's done "women's work" for a year. He has to cook, clean, do the mental load, do your laundry, take care of you when you're sick, and do all the planning for the holidays for ONE YEAR, before you'll say yes 😈.

[@namari9307]

sorry if I'm sharp here, I appreciate what you are doing

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

Yah IF he learns (big if they’re honestly probs a waste of energy) then he’d just mask his shittiness a little longer which doesn’t help the next lady either.

[@g.v.9221]

I'm a med student, and I remember the moment, when I started doing rotations, where I realized that most married male patients have no idea what medication they take or what dietary needs they have (or any information regarding their health in general) because they expect their wives to take care of those things as if they were their mothers...so it doesn't really surprise me they live longer, healthier lives (thank god my father was a really great role model in this way, so I know to expect more than that)

[@asunset8545]

Thank you for pointing out the benefits and gifts a woman automatically brings to men in marriage. There's so many guys who have the nerve to ask "what are you bringing to the table?",as if they don't know,men of old already knew the value a woman can bring to your life.

[@Ouranos369]

I used to explain to men exactly what they did wrong and plead and be clear about my feelings and boundaries and emotions and be patient when they screwed up. And you know ehat would happen? Nothing would change because that person dors not care about making you feel bad. They get an ego boost that you still choose to be with them no matter how much they hurt you. 🤮 Some people really believe you should be willing to suffer for their love. It's sick and its not your job to teach people how to treat you. Sure, set boundaries and be clear about what you want but if you find yourself having to remind someone how to treat you, it's likely a waste of time and you're gonna have to decide if this is a deal breaker.

@@agwinmoore in addition to the biological clock: per default women just have a lot more options to choose from than men. Limited time + more options = the necessity for very selective behavior

[@beeticket]

Men used to understand that back when they knew to always pay for dates. If I’m going on a date with you and giving you my very precious, biologically-valuable time: you’re paying.

“Your personal character development is not on me” Oh I needed to hear that so bad this year damn

[@saintriss]

I used to be the woman who would explain to every man I encountered what he did wrong in order to help the next woman but not anymore. Especially after I saw that most men went on to treat their next girl the same way they treated me. It was just a waste of my time and effort.

[@namari9307]

Elle thank you for including a piece abot the real man here, we need more examples like this. This was so touching yet thoughtful to the detail. He started speaking with her parents first, because it's an important part of Korean culture - giving respect to older first, so heartwarming

[@BehindTheBush96]

The woman being the last person to find out about her own marriage proposal isn’t heartwarming - it’s condescending. Like the rnan didn’t think the woman - the actual person he plans to propose to - is the first person he should be consulting and respecting instead of everybody else around her? Nah. Let’s not try and pass this off as if this is something ‘heartwarming’; this is about him respecting her parents more than her - the woman he plans to spend an entire lifetime exploiting sexually, for children as a baby incubator, as a housemaid, as a therapist, as a personal assistant, as a chef etc.

[@krotahk]

19 and found my second bf,now ex, gave me bare minimum, I expected bare minimum. 21, broke up with him, moved to another country, stayed single and healed/worked on myself for 2 years. Got my own place and started my education. 23, found a many that is way better looking, far more educated than my ex and he treats me like a freaking princess and spoils me emotionally, logically and physically without me asking. He’s emotionally mature, and fair and him being in my life is a wonderful addition. ❤️ Protect yourself ladies and the work in the wait is worth it!

[@ashley-bowers]

Not everything deserves a response or reaction. I live by this statement and it’s completely changed my life. You’re not wrong!!

[@dazzlingandbrash]

The first time I ever heard my partner mention the term "ball and chain" I immediately put a stop to him ever using it again. I told him this relationship is a choice you make every single day, so if you ever feel chained do me a fucking favor and leave. These "jokes" are not funny, they're disgusting and people who feel this way in a relationship are victims of their own mess and I have no respect for a man who claims this about his woman.

[@findingmyself2446]

It's important to set boundaries, not just in a relationship but with everyone in your life. Be a "hard to get " type of woman. As someone who wants a healthy marriage with a golden retriever man in the future, I need to set high boundaries. One of them is no kissing and no intimacy until he is officially my husband in the eyes of the government. Even when he's a fiancé, he won't get any sort of intimacy. Engagements can be broken easily. Also, I personally don't believe in teaching a man how to behave or interact with a woman. I would simply sit and watch him silently on how he interacts with me. If I don't like any of his behaviour, it's a no from me. Why should I help/teach him what he did wrong. It's not my job... Sorry 🙂 I'm not a "build a bro" type.

[@TheMotherofTacos]

Uh, that's a nice fantasy when you're a virginal teenager, but speaking as a grown ass woman you are going to deeply regret not testing his kiss until the wedding night. 😂😂😂

[@LiziBeth000]

He sexualized her in front of her and his friends and family which is quite insane. My dad would not let me marry this man. I think the audience is responsible for judging these things because you are a witness of a legal and religious ceremony. You are responsible as well. I know it's difficult to think about it that way but that is what you're doing every time you go to a wedding.

[@SaraGasmi-tr4so]

Hello you lovely girl!! I am an Irish woman in midlife and I love how you keep going over things again and again because when you consider all of the messaging I have received about how I should be since I was born in the 60s, you are just counteracting that!! Plus you have a beautiful soft voice which I can easliy listen to😊 I have 2 amazing daughters in their 30s and it makes me so happy to see the younger women speaking their truth 🙌

[@80sbrunnette]

The amount of men commenting under women’s comments being upset is CRAZY! Usually men don’t watch these videos because it’s not a video suggested for them but like HOW ARE THEY HERE 😂 i usually watch videos like these and it’s just all women talking/discussing with each other… I am perplexed LOL

[@lee02jepson]

I have mixed feelings about telling a man why you won't date him or why you will no longer date him. I feel a lot of times it helps him sharpen his skill to hide his shit from the next woman for a longer space of time. And often he knows what he is doing anyway, he knows its hurtful or disrespectful, he just wants to see how long he can get away with it. So do you help the next woman or do you help him hon his disrespectful skills?

[@Ninijo]

Wow this is exactly how my marriage went. I’m divorced now. I’m glad I left, no regrets. I didn’t know this was so common. My black cat ex husband didn’t have vows either. And I smiled through that BS. Please listen to this advice ladies! I learned too late. I’m glad this information is out there for younger women to take heed! It’s never too late to leave.

[@aliya6158]

agree that we don't have to teach them behave better, to my mind, it's the opposite - we teach them to hide their true self better, red flag doesn't disappear, we just help to cover it green paint
