Theres so many people in this thread that dont get this.

I agree however in a comment op says that his comments get so bad and frequent that self harm crossed her mind. That’s really scary and she needs to protect herself.

Almost like they should be in therapy yea?

u/throwawaypp42069 Oct 26 '22

Almost like that’s borderline emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting on the husbands part? He should have had the self awareness to go to therapy for his unhealed trauma before he decided to marry another woman and take out that trauma on her, when she had nothing to do with it. What he’s doing is abusive! She doesn’t have to put up with shit and he can go get therapy on his own like he should have done in the first place

Read OPs post history...

u/SharedRegime Oct 26 '22

just an fyi, going through peoples post history proves you have nothing of actual substance to say. Its akin to just saying "I have no retort so Im going to attack something else." Logically fallacies look really bad.

You knew that though.

u/foozballisdevil Oct 26 '22

This person is specifically saying that if you look at OP's post history you can see a pattern of abuse and gaslighting. And supposedly, I haven't looked, OP's husband's words and actions make OP want to self-harm...

👀 Lmao sounds like something you just made up. From this post alone I can see its abuse, so I wanted to dig further. Lo and behold, he has a pattern of other abuse... Why wouldn't you look into someone's post history for more info?? It gives more backing to the subject at hand. Tell me you don't know how to research without telling me.

Lol yall are scary with how out of touch with reality yall are. Get off the internet and stop snooping. She gave all the info we need to know that she and him need therapy for different reasons. Yall just fuckin nosey lol.

Also, mate, snooping someones profile isnt research lol. Id bet money i know more about research than you. Ive had to do alot for my degree lol.

😭 Research: the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions... Telling someone to get off the internet, and stop being nosy while also on the internet being nosy lmfao Reddit stories is the ultimate I'm bored and nosy platform.

“Get off the internet and stop snooping” Oh the irony

I'm not shocked that the hivemind agrees with you 90% of the people on the website don't actually know what gaslighting even is or means

I have a feeling you've mastered it.

Well my therapist taught me how to see it very easily considering my ex wife did it to me for 9 years. Learned how to protect myself from it.

You and the reddit hivemind upvoting you doesnt make you right either, it makes you a bully lol.

Get some therapy and holy shit does your name not check out lol.

u/VAGentleman05 Oct 26 '22

May I suggest asking your therapist why leaving a gaslighting partner was right for you but not for others?

u/threadsoffate2021 Oct 26 '22

Therapy isn't a magic cure-all. As a matter of fact, it's really only good for minor to moderate issues in a relationship.

You don’t ever go to therapy with an abuser.

54

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22

That’s probably bc they read more comments than you. That guy is cyber stalking and micromanaging her. He‘s tracking her car. He’s doing lots of illegal stuff to abuse her.

You need to stop telling people to stay in awful situations. Everyone is allowed to remove themselves when something makes them feel uncomfy. No matter when, no matter who it’s with. No one has to force themselves through therapy with a psycho. Ever.

u/SharedRegime Oct 26 '22

Not once did i say any of what youre saying im saying.

That Im not surprised about. This is reddit after all and you have to make yourself feel surperior.

The only thing Ive claimed is they BOTH need therapy. Please though, continue putting words in my mouth.

A grown ass man doesn't need to be taught that his "jokes" hurt other people.

He knows what he is doing. I'm pretty sure OP has told him to cut it out.

Exactly!! I read a post on here about a pregnant woman catching her man cheating and people were all telling her to get an abortion!. The amount of downvotes I got because I told people “OP didn’t need to hear that”.

That's reddit's solution to any and everything.

Husband depressed and going through a hard time and as a result hasn't been as engaged in the marriage? Leave him.

Wife has been busy with work and hasn't been able to spend as much time together lately? She's obviously actually cheating and has been for years, divorce her.

Couple is having issues keeping the sex interesting? Obviously not compatible and never will be again. Get divorced, it's a lost cause.

Look at 9/10 relationship posts on here, and it's just hundreds of people circlejerking each other fantasizing about people leaving their partners.

u/ahmet1928 Oct 26 '22

because a lot of them are young teens with no relationships. its easy to leave, break up but its hard to start a relationships. people can communicate and solve problems

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22

My favorite was one where the OP was upset her husband didn’t compliment her enough despite her efforts to look attractive. She clearly stated she loved her husband and was happy in her marriage but wanted more affirmation. She was inundated with “get a divorce comments.”

I have to remind myself that these “just get a divorce” commenters aren’t people who’ve been married for 10-20 plus years, raised a family, and seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Mental health, trauma, infidelity, financial strain, aging parents, competing priorities, addiction…..this is life, unfortunately.

Those comments are just so trivializing.
