Not funny in any way, shape or form.

You get him to stop by divorcing him. When your kid someday asks why you divorced dad, you tell him or her that daddy used to pretend to push you down every set of stairs you encountered. And also...why do women come to message boards to get advice on how to make men stop doing things? You told him to stop and he didn’t, no one else is going to have a magic spell for you.

I used to have a "male friend" who once "jokingly" pushed me while we were walking over an overpass. This was literally five seconds after I told him I was afraid of heights and I was nervously looking down at the busy highway below.

He pushed me into the railing and I screamed. He laughed like it was some funny joke. I was yelling at him saying that was NOT OKAY and it just made him laugh more. I told to never speak to me again, which wiped his smirk right off his stupid smug face and he demanded to know why. I said "you literally just made an attempt on my life" and he told me not to be so dramatic.

Blocked him on everything and he ended up stalking me for a little while. Good times 😑

He's not pretending, he's practicing

highoncatnipbrownies · 2020-12-22T14:40:11+00:00

I came here to cross post this too.

This poor woman is going to be murdered. Notice that he started doing this right after ashe accidently fell down the stairs. He saw an opportunity and is now toying with the idea. In the heat of an argment hes just going to throw her down.

The abuser even does this in public..

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2020-12-22T15:10:53+00:00

So he's pissed she's pregnant and is now joking about trying to kill her and the baby. This is insane.

chateauduchat · 2020-12-22T13:56:08+00:00

When will men realize they aren’t funny anymore.

RamenAndEgg · 2020-12-22T15:21:19+00:00

Yeah he wants her to loose the baby. He's using the "joke" to prepare an alibi. "It was an accident, we always joked like that!".

NurseBubbleGum · 2020-12-22T16:53:02+00:00

I fucking hate when men make the "push her down the stairs while pregnant" joke. Its not funny. Youre telling her you would like to abort your child in the most vile of ways. It isn't a joke. Its how they actually feel. They joke about hurting you and killing your unborn child they don't want.

Fuck men like that. She should call the police and have the shit scared out of him. "Well you actually tried to push and I feared for our lives."

SuccessfulAppeal333 · 2020-12-22T16:00:43+00:00

He's not joking.

He wishes he could.

UnpeacefulLily · 2020-12-22T18:37:55+00:00

This post literally reads like:

My husband is trying to murder me by pushing me off the stairs. He will most likely claim I accidentally fell if I'm badly injured or dead after he pushes me.

I'm scared which is why I'm posting here for reassurance.

Also, I'm 6 months pregnant. But let's go ahead & ignore all the statistics & warning signs that points to this scumbag I married trying to murder me.

How do I get my husband to stop trying to murder me?!"

I feel terrible for this woman. I hope she has a strong support system to turn to as she divorces that man!

LevelTurbulent · 2020-12-22T18:31:21+00:00

He's actually pushing her. She has to hold on to the railing so she doesn't fall. So if she doesn't grab the railing in time one day, she's going down those stairs.

She needs a divorce. He's going to k*ll her.

iamtoopretty · 2020-12-22T14:02:02+00:00

Some years back a male friend pulled off something like that with me. I was sitting near a pond looking at Lilies with my sketchbook in hand when he came up from behind and pushed me off lightly and pulled me back. By the time I was on land my sketchbook was soked and ruined. I went straight from there to his mum's house and screamed and yelled at her and caused a racket. I knew I'll get shit at my own home if I faught with him (bcz the dangler between his legs makes him more of a human than me and I live in a culture that prefers boys more than girls) and I had already gotten labeled as a trouble maker with boys among my peers (bcz I didn't put up with "boys being boys" BS and always sent shit back if I received it) so it would have been of no value to exchange words with him over it. I still got shit at home for it but it was worth it.

I didn't know what I was doing, I had no idea why I targeted his mum but in retrospect I did the right thing. I embarrassed a pickmisha for birthing, raising and spoiling a NVM. Suffice it to say he left me alone after that, never pulled a prank on me and that wasn't bcz his mum had policed him or anything, he had just seen what I will do to the source of his reinforcement if he messed with me again.

P.S. - I was a preteen when it happened, I won't do something like that now, I've grown and understand that it's never really women's fault and 'boys being boys' / 'men being men' is a patriarchal reinforcement.

Mysterious_Midnight7 · 2020-12-22T14:29:41+00:00

Immature, loser trash. My ex once brought me a drink at my request, then after I'd taken several swallows, pretended he had put LSD in it (shortly after I had told him I didn't want to do that with him). He was a giant manchild and I hate that I only was with him for so long because my narc mother adored him and I had zero self worth (also thanks to her).

ariel_1234 · 2020-12-22T17:17:18+00:00

6 MONTHS PREGNANT!?!!?!

I can’t even

superheroxnerd · 2020-12-22T14:56:57+00:00

Sounds like a sadistic fuck.

thinktwiceorelse · 2020-12-22T15:25:26+00:00

Reminds me of my ex coworker who shaked my hand so hard, that he almost broke it. Or when we were in elevator he smashed me to the wall with his whole huge body so hard, that he almost broke my rib. All of that was "just jokes", of course.

chasingastarl1ght · 2020-12-22T17:51:38+00:00

I'm legit terrified for her.

Wildestrose1988 · 2020-12-22T17:39:28+00:00

Divorce time

DeorisGrey · 2020-12-22T20:45:09+00:00

I thought this was sick when I read the title. Then I read that she's 6 months pregnant and I'm shocked. What kind of vermin thinks it's even remotely funny to pretend to push a pregnant woman down the stairs?? Absolutely no consideration for her safety, or for the baby's life...

pinkcloudzzz · 2020-12-22T21:46:52+00:00

He is definitely trying to make her lose the baby.

CoffeeBeforeAdulty · 2020-12-23T01:34:25+00:00

Make him go down the stairs before you and don't tell him why when he asks (he fucking knows). Then look into a great divorce lawyer.

That's your life and the life of your unborn child. She should also document every single account of him "jokingly" pushing her down the stairs.

Novemberinthechair · 2020-12-22T21:04:09+00:00

He's a psycho.

smart-tart23 · 2020-12-22T16:28:45+00:00

He’s gonna kill you. Gtfo

DV_throwaway19675 · 2020-12-22T17:31:18+00:00

Wow. Someone needs to tell her that this is literally him telling her that he has the power to kill her at anytime.

NottodayScrote · 2020-12-22T19:39:47+00:00

Yeah...no. He is planning to kill her baby and make it seem like an accident.

_tinyimp · 2020-12-22T19:53:50+00:00

AND SHE’S PREGNANT?

-pop-fizz-clink · 2020-12-22T23:45:17+00:00

What the fuck did I just read?

And she's visibly pregnant?

My heart is beating hard and is currently full of blind rage.

Has anyone seen Ramsey Bolton's cane corsos? I'd like to ensure they are fed this evening. Thank you.

Lavender_flow · 2020-12-23T00:01:10+00:00

This man is a psycho. The end

misszazie · 2020-12-22T14:35:14+00:00

Sick. He's ethical just enough to not do it, but still getting off at seeing the pain inflicted by threatening it.

I'd be gone. If I got anything less than a very remorseful apology and a zero tolerance for it going forward, it would be for good.

nenindis · 2020-12-23T10:54:42+00:00

My first thought reading this was, "This is abuse."

Sis is in for a terrible life ahead if she stays with this man. Just look at the pattern: she has had a painful event, he genuinely knows this. He then proceeds to "joke" about it, she is rightfully fearful and he immediately pulls out the gaslighting card of "omg you can't take a joke". Note she's also 6 months pregnant, therefore incredibly vulnerable.

With each passing day, every shred of faith I have ever had for the men of Earth begins to dim more and more.

Gourmay · 2020-12-23T02:50:43+00:00

I keep thinking I can't be more shocked by a relationship advice post but it's just like Trump, they keep sinking lower. We need some kind of awards in depravity, like the razzies but for NVMs.

_narrowstraits_ · 2020-12-23T19:05:02+00:00

I am so surprised he didn't get a right hook to the gut the first time he tried...

Playbackfromwayback · 2021-03-10T04:41:42+00:00

This is abuse. I don’t mean to overdramatize but this straight up is abusive. I would get the hell out of that relationship ASAP.

My husband used to pull this kind of shit on me- and after i was able to get away from him he literally stalked and murdered another woman. Your husband is not a nice man and this will i Am sorry to say probably only get worse.

Teasing you this way is a major red flag- the guy enjoys seeing you hurting and in fear. There are probably very deeply rooted issues of female hatred and resentment there. Good luck to you

faux_maux_ · 2021-04-20T01:26:47+00:00

The way women deny and suppress their feelings. It’s breaking my heart. If she wasn’t socialized to be polite and good she would have the primal instinct to express her anger at him and to stay away from him. Instead she’s having his baby and asking for help to stop feeling her feelings on Reddit.
