    I wouldn’t want to stay married to anyone who would play these kinds of mind games.

      To be fair, it doesn’t have to be mind games, she could have been in a bad place and somehow figured out for herself that the best thing to do was to end the relationship, but realised that she was wrong. There are people who genuinely believe that they can make other peoples lives better by leaving them (a kind of “you would do better without me, I’m only pulling you down” mentality), that could do something like this not to manipulate the other person, but because they actually care about them, but are in a bad place themselves.

            What the fuck is making all these people talk like this now? I felt like we’ve gone through a phase where these people would be ashamed of posting instead of thinking they’re dropping some hard truths and now it looks like it’s back

              it’s almost like all the chuds and bigots are emboldened right now, like they just won some kind of major victory. wonder what that could have been.

                This has been building up for some time now, definitely long before the election. Do we not remember the man vs bear debates earlier this year? Incels? Andrew Tate? The world does not revolve around Trump, these people didn’t just pop into existence with renewed spirit on election day. They show up in every thread that they can find some grievance committed by a woman. Especially in greentext.

                They were “right” about one thing so their objective truth about reality is that they must be right about everything.

                Yeah it’s lame and pretty standard.

                It doesn’t help that relationships have been commodified and there is general disdain for the concept of marrying for financial security to the point that tradwives were a public concept of how rich guys should treat their wives to keep them humble from the wealth.

                It’s weird out here and it doesn’t even shock me anymore.
