What a time to be alive

feraxil · 2019-02-27T20:31:24+00:00

Too busy with career.

Husband is breadwinner.

Does not compute.

elebrin · 2019-02-27T19:44:40+00:00

ringing round for short-term nannies to take care of our children, Ronnie, six, and Stanley, two.

Well, it seems that she's been having sex with SOMEONE. Those kids are less than 10 years apart.

SirKolbath · 2019-02-27T19:05:43+00:00

Is that... is that written by her!?

LeviathanPWN · 2019-02-27T19:02:35+00:00

He must have low self esteem if he’s putting up with that

PurpleAngel23 · 2019-02-27T21:24:51+00:00

A decade?! Hell, I can’t go that long. Yeah, I wish my husband would help out around the house more, but he also works 40-80 hours per week. I work less than 20. So the way I see it, I can clean his damn house while he busts his ass for us to live there.

This broad isn’t a wife; she’s a lazy roommate.

Hifen · 2019-02-27T21:45:17+00:00

From the article

meant he was away on business for three weeks. Before he left, I found him packing the freezer with organic ready meals and ringing round for short-term nannies to take care of our children

.

But I work hard, too, and that changes everything. While I love my children deeply, wiping noses, bottoms and encrusted beans off the floor doesn't inspire me in the way my work does. I'm too busy to share the chores. After a day of writing, I feel happy and complete; after a day with the children, I am frazzled....Now, I know what you're thinking - that I must earn more than Ben. But no, I don't.

Tailtappin · 2019-02-27T19:53:47+00:00

She's just the classic female character traits expressed with nary a thought to anybody else.

Why is he married to her? Why does he bother? Because he thinks he's a good man for doing it. Funny...if we run out and get a bucket of extra crispy for somebody who weighs 600 lbs, we're enabling them. Why isn't this sort of thing viewed the same way?

Optimal_Revolution · 2019-02-27T20:30:03+00:00

Jesus Christ, and it was even written by her? This poor man made a mistake

qp0n · 2019-02-27T21:20:42+00:00

And she only had sex once so she could call it a relationship instead of slavery

projectreap · 2019-02-27T19:34:41+00:00

This looks like clear satire

ConnorGracie · 2019-02-27T19:47:51+00:00

I bet she had wild times while young.

DirtyPedro · 2019-02-27T21:33:26+00:00

I'm blessed to have a healthy relationship, these people suck at life.

TheShShCreature · 2019-02-27T22:10:15+00:00

danimalplanimal · 2019-02-27T20:54:34+00:00

congratulations to the biggest cuck in Britain!!!

C2074579 · 2019-02-27T23:24:37+00:00

This is modern feminism. Women being completely useless as significant others and receiving praise for it. What a joke.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2424680/amp/Kate-Thompson-Britains-worst-wife--shes-proud-it.html

It's hyperbole. The whole article is about how horrible she is as a wife and how greatful she is for her husband. Is their relationship balanced? Fat chance. Are they scum? probably not.

only_male_flutist · 2019-02-27T23:57:59+00:00

I mean, they aren't good people but what does this have to do with men's rights? I's just a bad relationship

brian_reddit_77 · 2019-02-28T01:46:33+00:00

Why would someone take actual pride in being a terrible spouse?
...laziness trying to masquerade as "feminism."

She's not a feminist, she's just a selfish cunt.

3printedButts · 2019-02-28T04:09:30+00:00

He can leave. If he stays it's on him.

Sergije3 · 2019-02-27T22:57:42+00:00

I don't get if this is an onion title anymore or not. It's that bad

DrPVM · 2019-02-27T21:21:53+00:00

You know I don't like being rude. And I don't advocate violence towards woman.

But she needs to be kicked in the cunt

OneFeistyDuck · 2019-02-27T20:53:33+00:00

Just saying, he’s cheating on her or something. There must be something in his life that makes him happy and it definitely isn’t her

TheOnlyKarsh · 2019-02-27T22:25:19+00:00

My wife told me one time that she was having kids, with or without my help. Several years later I informed her that I was having sex and she could participate or I could surely find another participant.

I don't deal well with threats, no mater who they come from.

Karsh

smfuel87 · 2019-02-27T21:51:51+00:00

This has to be a spoof. Nobody could possibly be that much of a cuck.

MrSparkle666 · 2019-02-28T02:58:44+00:00

You realize that this article was purposefully designed to generate outrage from people like us, right? There's no real news or content. It's just clickbait marketing that solely exists for rage views. Know when you are being played. Every time something like this gets upvoted, you are only feeding the trolls. It doesn't help anyone's cause.

She's a fucking writer and she is pretending she doesn't have time, it's a flexible schedule, not 8 or 12 hour shifts

Hot4M · 2019-02-27T20:04:39+00:00

I wouldn't doubt other femibots view her as "strong" and "empowered."

Once a decade...... lucky bastard

DarkLorde117 · 2019-02-28T10:23:12+00:00

Our culture doesn't support or endorse this behaviour and aside from the threat of divorce-court, husband absolutely has the option to leave.

Personally I don't think using the single, absolutely extreme case is a great way to make a case for the general state of affairs for most men. I think there are better examples out there to show men's typical issues in marriage and relationships on a more relatable level.

Takihara · 2019-02-28T11:19:14+00:00

I’m all for men’s rights, but a quick warning those who are non-UK based: this comes from the Daily Mail (better known as the daily fail), which was recently declared by a journalism watchdog to not meet even the most basic journalistic standards.

Donut_of_Patriotism · 2019-02-27T22:06:08+00:00

“Once a decade” And here I thought the 10 month dry spell of 2018 was a long time without sex.

Also I can understand her not doing the house chores if she was the breadwinner and he was a stay at home dad, but sounds like they both have careers and she refuses to actually do anything. like at least do half the chores.

funkyjunkymonkey · 2019-02-27T22:24:02+00:00

Jesus. Imagine the outcry if a man wrote the mirror-image of this article, proudly proclaiming how he keeps his wife barefoot and pregnant at home while he goes out getting wasted and slaying pussy on the side.

He could cap it off with this killer line from her article:

"I had occasional pangs of guilt about our unusual dynamic during the first year of our marriage, but now I find it liberating"

grandmasbroach · 2019-02-27T22:25:53+00:00

And people wonder why women have unrealistic expectations...?

DootDeeDootDeeDoo · 2019-02-27T23:22:00+00:00

Okay but my thing is, if he's happy who cares?

The only problem with this is if it's expected and forced on people, ANY people. No one would be forced to work or stay home whole their partner does the opposite if that's not fulfilling to their life and happiness.

Nobody should be living in a "role", they should be living a fulfilling life with a compatible partner who is doing the same and anyone outside of that who thinks their opinion is relevant is the one who needs a reality check.

NoremacKnom · 2019-02-28T01:20:40+00:00

Some men like to be dominated. As long as everyone in happy i see no issue.

PixelPete85 · 2019-02-27T22:02:59+00:00

Why is this in this sub? Guy either needs to step up and change his life, or he's happy with the arrangement and its more power to him.

ADLeezard · 2019-02-27T21:34:12+00:00

He absolutely epitomizes the term soy boy.

mikebong64 · 2019-02-27T22:58:43+00:00

He gets to play superdad and have two sons that he can enjoy while she works.

WeaponizedAutisms · 2019-02-28T00:13:30+00:00

RxCubed · 2019-02-28T01:48:28+00:00

Okay so he's a cuck, which isn't exactly uncommon. So what's the point?

Should I get all worked up every time I come across a cuck? It's his choice to be cuck. Good for him.

_shikaka · 2019-02-28T02:19:46+00:00

Why marry someone if you're not going to be part of a team with them? And since when is sex supposed to be a chore? If I were married and didn't pull my weight in the household I'd feel terrible for my husband and guilty, especially with babies and toddlers that is hectic.

After reading this I feel lucky to have the parents and upbringing I had.

TotallyNotAPlant · 2019-02-28T02:42:22+00:00

lowsodiummonkey · 2019-02-28T05:36:32+00:00

It’s called “I don’t want to bothered working on a relationship”. Some men (if not less) are just as guilty.

Why doesn't he divorce that POS

Hang on, he's the breadwinner..... But she's to busy focusing on her career to give a fu k about her family?!?! The guy should quite literally pack her bags and leave them on the doorstep.

Direct quote from the article

andrew_c_r · 2019-02-28T01:59:25+00:00

Did anyone actually read the article? Its so pointless. She literally just explains how her career as a writer makes her too busy and "adores her husband" but also doesnt do anything for him. Its completely pointless, other than being CLICKBAIT. She said it herself, she's a writer, and not a very good one at that. So by giving this article our attention, we are supporting her lifestyle. How about we stop? Talking about how this woman and women like her suck does nothing but benefit them. Just ignore them and dont put up with women like this in yiur daily life. And move on.

This isn't a new thing guys. This was common practice across many ancient civilizations. Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, the Harappan civilization of the Indus Valley, and ancient China all had a similar term for this behavior and it roughly translates to pussy whipped in our native tongue.

PrismMage · 2019-02-28T02:36:16+00:00

Dunno which is worse. Her for being such a disgusting person, or him for putting up with it. I am leaning toward him, if morons wouldn't put up with women's bullshit, they wouldn't be acting a fool.

This is the onion. right? I mean ... it can't.

LowDevelopment0 · 2019-02-28T00:41:04+00:00

This is what feminists say men are. But this is honestly just abnormal.

LtChicken · 2019-02-28T03:23:39+00:00

What a cuck, dude. Leave! Assuming this article is even real

mostprobably · 2019-02-28T03:38:50+00:00

He’s a Beta; this isn’t the woman’s fault at all.

TheStumblingWolf · 2019-02-28T07:15:55+00:00

This is not a man, it's a neutered pet in the shape of a man.

Jeannolapino · 2019-02-28T09:53:18+00:00

The guy only deserves what he has. He should have dumped her a long time ago, or he is simply a cuck

what does this have to do with mens rights? this comment section is a pointless anti-women circlejerk

lPFreeIy · 2019-02-28T00:14:52+00:00

I don't see this as a rights issue to be honest. That's just a dumb jackass being a doormat in a relationship. Look at him, I'm surprised he's not posing with that wide open mouthed soy face that's so popular with the freaks and weirdos

kappa_omega · 2019-02-27T23:21:53+00:00

This article is also suuuuper sexist about women and their roles. All around shite.

haydenv · 2019-02-27T22:06:20+00:00

Who cares? As long as they are happy, who are we to judge their relationship dynamics? What has this sub turned into? Come on men, we are better than this

tideshark · 2019-02-27T23:46:38+00:00

He likes to watch her with other dudes from the bedside.

Brockkilledspeedy · 2019-02-28T03:22:44+00:00

This guy right here.... Might be the biggest jackass on the planet.

centaursg · 2019-02-28T00:06:43+00:00

You are hating on this couple because it doesnt fit with your logic. But you should not apply your logic, instead the husband`s logic in assessing the couple.

If the guy is fine with whatever he is doing then its all good. Doesnt make him a pussy, doesnt make him an alpha. He is giving his everything to his family. While some of you may call it stupid cuz she could just change her mind and screw him over. But I bet it would not matter to him if she dumped him cuz he is probably like a Mother Theresa who just wants to help others. I`m not saying this is something I would do. But he will probably be fine.

BlastedMTorr · 2019-02-27T23:56:03+00:00

It's his fault for humoring the miserable cunt.

I can smell the soy emanating from his pores
