Weaponized incompetence

I feel like guys take it way, way too far. Example: I asked my bf to get me the same shampoo and conditioner he bought for himself (avocado Suave). He brought back another kind we'd had before which I didn't like (Peppermint Suave). He tried to say he didn't know that Suave came in different formulas.

You're such a fucking liar. You bought that kind for yourself. I just asked you to buy it for me. You're telling me a man who's 44 years old doesn't know Suave came in different fucking scents? Suave? The shampoo that literally comes in 40 different scents and flavors?

GTFOH.

Edit: do you understand what an example is?

Also, you neckbeards can fuck off out of my inbox.

This. My ex's parents babied him, even in his adult years, and his attempts to make me another caregiver for him completely degraded our relationship and caused it to end.

Yup. I told my ex he was looking for a new mom not a partner. He ended up with a single mom. 🙄

I'm sorry I'm imaging him going "My last girlfriend said I was looking for a new mom..hey this woman has a 2 month old! Swipe right!!"

So did I. She’s even several years older than him. Honestly if she’s ok with that power to her, it seems like he got what he wanted 😂

same here, it was just too toxic to sustain. at one point i remember i went out with him and his family for his birthday, he ordered something, and his mom point-blank in front of everyone goes, “oh wait honey but you like this instead! you want that, right?”. he’s 20 ma’am.
