It's ironic how so many men disparage domestic "women's work" (such as cooking, cleaning, hosting) and claim it's so easy. However, the moment they are asked to do it, those tasks magically become too hard, complicated, and difficult. Make it make sense 😒
I just tried to explain this to my friend! They know how, they just don't want to! I can appreciate a guy who just embraces his laziness and says "no, I don't want to help!" Like okay thanks! I can dump you now, they don't act that way though, it's too honest.
Just any couple-based reddit is like this. It's just so cringe. r/engagementrings="Hi my fiancé bought me this ring which I don't like but I feel bad if I say I don't like it (because she knows he will throw a mantrum)". or "my fiancé is being a bitch because I said I didn't like the ring" or "fiancé gave me a ring that doesn't match my preferences which I have communicated PRIOR before him asking the question". Keep raising that standard. If he can't do X, Y or Z, just trash him. No excuses for men.
i feel so annoyed sometimes thinking about how single women essentially do their part by rejecting scrotes and LVMs but married women would rather pander to these trash men for YEARS. and no, don't bother replying with "but kids blah blah" because i'm standing firm with my opinion. EVERY woman should do better for the future generation.

If we all say no to scrotes together, we win. If we don’t, LVM keep reproducing and the quality of men in the world continues to decline.
Recently something went wrong with our vacuum cleaner. It suddenly got really noisy and rattley. I told my boyfriend all pathetic hoping he would do something about it. I guess I subconsciously assigned the task of fixing the vacuum to him because of gender stereotypes. I then felt ashamed of myself for acting helpless. So I took the vacuum apart to try to fix it, because I'm not pathetic and incompetent and I dont want to appear pathetic and incompetent. Moral of the story: scrotes like OP's husband lack a sense of pride or shame, and they are happy to be useless burdens on women.(Epilogue: I failed at fixing the vacuum. So my boyfriend took at look at it and succeeded in fixing it.)

Haha true. I think that strategy is more for acquaintances, coworkers, or men you dont respect. I dont want to manipulate my boyfriend. Besides, he easily pulls his weight and then some around the house, all on his own. And I dont want him to do things for me because he thinks I'm too dumb to do them myself. I want him to do things for me out of a desire to make my life happier and easier.
okay but could you actually fix the vacuum cleaner? if he really is more proficient at those things then i frankly don't see how you're manipulating your boyfriend. some skills aren't easy to pick up by mere reading and fixing an appliance is not even comparable to doing chores in a home that you both share.

Yeah. It's not that hard. Thats why I felt silly for pretending I couldn't. It was just a part that needed replacing. When I took it apart, I was able to narrow it down 2 parts that might need replacing. I started with the simpler cheaper part - replaced it myself. The vacuum still didnt work. So my bf went and got the other part and replaced it. Then it worked. I literally would have done it myself the next day if he hadn't. Sorry, but my self respect wouldnt let me pretend that I'm too dumb to replace a part on a vacuum. And pretending to be incapable/actually being incapable of replacing a vacuum part are unattractive personality traits. I think *he* probably likes that I'm not dumb, lazy, or unwilling to learn new things, too. HV likes HV.Which is all a lot more than can be said for men who pretend to be too dumb to USE a vacuum cleaner.

so when's the divorce?
the mom subreddit, the step parent subreddit makes you so glad you aren't with a shitty male partner
Stop letting men get away with this garbage. I'm so sick of it
Oh my God, my father is the same way.
Grew up around pies. I need the t shirt .
