As a GenXer...I've had to deal with Boomers longer than many have been alive.
It isn't the wealth or what they are doing with it, it's the flaunting of it.
Boomers did struggle, there was social upheaval (Viet Nam War, feminism, Watergate, etc.), very high interest rates, lack of credit (my parents have to take a out loan, a second mortgage, and my grandfather had to cosign just to by their first house), oil embargo, NAFTA, etc., etc., etc.
No, the problem is that nearly every Boomer laughs at the younger generations and says, "I'm spending your inheritance, hur-dur." That's the problem.
My grandparents (Greatest Generation) gave their kids and grandkids money. I was able to put down a down payment on my first house with it.
It's this hubris that all of the generations that have come after the Boomers are tired of.
Wives come to resent their husbands on a long enough time line, generally.
Instead of their husbands being awesome supermen, they are...merely...human. Instead of giving grace to this person they CHOSE, they resent them. Barring hormonal issues, resentment leads viewing them as a roommate.
as a woman, the fact this is extremely common and nobody explains it is lowkenuinely terrifying
i can't even fathom how somebody could get to this point
what on earth possesses women to eventually feel like this?
are they just predisposed?
how can i make sure it won't be me??
Abandon all hope all ye who enter.
Disordered people never change. Doing so takes too much work/pain.
Instead, they will give you the illusion of change to keep you hooked.
You've been warned.
It’s dangerous to believe every person is redeemable.
Human predators (narcissists/psychopaths) have brain anomalies of the pre-frontal cortex & amygdala. They can’t change nor do they want to. They are motivated by control & sadism.
They’re like a different sub-species.
Feminism is was never about "empowering women" (how can a wage slave be empowered?).
It was always a dystopic, dysgenic movement to get women to hate men.
Now, we have a situation where men hate women.
The Great Psyop continues unabated.
HOW TO LOSE A HUSBAND:
Set high expectations on him
Point out his faults often
Become quarrelsome and contentious
Desire to control and manipulate him
Deprive him sexually
Refuse to fix food for him
Demand he help with housework
Don't keep home clean and tidy
Let yourself go physically
Complain about him to others
Expect him to meet your emotional needs
Stop laughing at his jokes
Never smile at him
Have no desire to please him
Insist on being right and having the last word
22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.
He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.
Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

Yeah. I think he's given up: had a girlfriend that dumped him and 3 dates from apps that felt they had no chemistry.
I've tried to help him. His problem is he's highly intelligent and has no patience for BS (like many intelligent people). Also, highly intelligent people don't like being told what to do.
@Jack_Schmidt_TM This was part of The Great Psyop of pitting women against men.
Feminism was never about equality. Instead, it was a power play.
This won't end well.
So...my wife has low empathy (at least towards me). She knows I've been really working hard on improving my appearance.
A mutual friend had noticed and made a comment to her. Now, my wife can't let that stand, so she started a major fight over...laundry.
Anyway, today I come to my desk and I see cookies. She knows my weakness is sugar, especially cookies, especially especially chocolate chip cookies, especially especially, especially Chik-Fil-A chocolate chip cookies.
I'm pretty sure she wants me stay unhealthy.
She's a frog farmer.
@itsaboutawhale I believe in free will...but...I also believe in people having to live with their consequences.
I wonder if he refused to support her because of the loss of the quid-pro-quo what would people say?
Maybe you should write a book.
A husband will crawl across broken glass for a thimble full of appreciate, BUT he will totally check out if he is being disrespected.
It seems that many wives on a long enough timeline simply forget/don't care that their husband is a flesh and blood person.
It's so simple...yet seems so hard.
Good morning Xverse!
Remember kids: you were conditioned. In my case, I was conditioned to be hyper-vigilant.
By keeping myself busy and unable to be still with my thoughts, I can, somehow, out run them. I refuse to ask to help for help with anything.
Naturally, this course of action is impossible.
