It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

Pretty sure that's just a troll.

That's what I was thinking, which is why I posted here.

There are probably people that think that way, but they don't articulate it to themselves in that way and then post it on Reddit. The way that woman is describing her own thought process is as if she's trying to make herself look bad. If she truly believed it, she would justify it to herself in much different words, and those would be the words she'd post on Reddit.

You don't have to justify yourself to yourself when you believe you are infallible.

Yeah, but like for example I don't think someone would say "He has a curfew of 9:20." Rather they'd say like, "He has to stop staying out later than 9:20." It means the same thing, but the former obviously makes her look like more of an overbearing monster.
Similarly, the detail about throwing the weighted blanket in the trash is irrelevant to what she is trying to say in that section and only serves to make her look bad.
If it's genuine, she can't even be sociopathic as then she wouldn't care about validation and need to post it on Reddit. The only other explanation would be that she's so autistic she doesn't know how monstrous her own characterization of herself makes her sound.

How is the weighted blanket thing irrelevant? But yeah I think she's looking for validation or its completely fake - possibly actually written by a psychologically ill husband.

Idk, if I were writing a Reddit post like that, I just wouldn't think to include anything like that. Like her (presumed) goal is to make her out to be the good guy and him the bad guy. Her point was that he thinks his problems are clinical but really he's just emotional weak. So she says he bought a weighted blanket without asking her. That's all the info she needs to make her point. I think most people would end the story there in this situation. Not that everyone writes logically online, but it just makes me think it's a troll.
A psychologically ill husband is an interesting theory, though. You mean like he's exaggerating the overbearingness of his wife to get validation when everyone on Reddit calls her monster?

For me it seemed to go along with their morbid ignorance of how the brain works and what mental illness really looks like, the prevalent colloquial idea that weighted blankets are for autistic people, and the validation seeking behavior gels with dogwhistling about throwing it out. Almost like it could have included something like "handling that, am I right girls?" In brackets.
Yes exactly, and in a way that could be walked back if he got caught. I.e. "see I tried to make it seem good, not trash you! I really just want to help you make me a better husband!" I want to say I've seen that a time or two in abused individuals but I can't prove it.

I thought it was a troll too but the op seems adamant.

I had a friend whose girlfriend had a board of rules for him. We were wary of that girl. Found out she was a crazy as we thought.
Edit: If this one not a troll then i'm worried for her husband. Also grammar.

Nah, it’s clearly a bait
Also what relevance does this have to men’s rights? If taken serious that post is still just an example of a shitty person, it’s really go nothing to do with gender

THis can't be real... this women sounds like an absolute Harpy. She has no empathy what so ever. I'd be avoiding her at all costs too. Geez. I hope the dude gets the will to drop her in divorce. like... no, she's not worth it.

She wants to make a contract, generally with contracts there are 2 sides, what does she bring to the marriage?
