He literally pulled a "Shes too needy and feminine/dependant, im not ready for a wife!" And then a "She succeeded at one thing, I'm being emasculated! Better start punishing her."
How do we avoid this scrotery? The red flag that stood out to me is his irrational fear that she has a journal and might "write down what he says." He literally told her that he fears accountability. Not only is this a sign that he would make an awful father/husband, its also a sign that he's an abuser. This level of isolation is quite stunning. She's "not allowed" to write about him, I'm positive she's also "not allowed" to have any friends that she might *gasp* talk about him to them.
Another red flag. He said that women writing about their own children is child abuse.(preemptive DARVO. This man REALLY hates the idea of anything about him being documented, a man who writes history books no less 🤡🤡🤡 ) For fucks sake, this man more than likely watches child abuse on pornhub, and i guarantee he has mild opinions about childrens images on social media, human trafficking and prostitution, sexualized children on Nickelodeon and disney, anime, pageants, etc.
Any other red flags to add?
Men: "Stay at home moms are lazy and leech off our resources, she needs to get a real job rather than just sit around at home all day and "look" after kids."
Also men: "Women in 2022 are becoming more career oriented and less feminine! They need to start learning their place as housewives and stop trying to be so independent!!"
This has less to do with him feeling threatened by her success and everything to do with the fact that he is a domestic abuser. That's the funny thing about abusive men, everything you do is either never enough or way too much and needs to be silenced, punished, or worth breaking up over.
