@peng_writer Don't arm-wrestle or beg your mum to stay with dad. It is her choice, her decision. She needs the emotional support and validation, not the invalidation n dismissal n begging. That's emotional blackmail and manipulation.
@peng_writer Your dad can care for himself. Your mum wants her freedom now for her remaining years. She stayed on for this long to fulfil whatever duties and what's expected of her. Now her kids have grown n flown the nest. She wants to be free from all of it that has been weighing her down.
@ask_aubry The saddest thing is that the woman doesn't realise she's been raped. She says "it's okay, my body just hurts." It means she is so used to this happening often, she has normalised it and thinks it's nothing out of the ordinary.

@StruggleDisplay But you should not be handling it for your MIL. Your husband and his siblings, if he has any, should be handling it. You can only assist but you should not take the lead and be the main person to handle it.
@moyyaaaaaa Social conditioning. A lot of men want to "pass on their family name" and continue their bloodline. Usually, a woman "marries into" the man's family. The couple's kids will bear the man's family name. So he is passing on his lineage.
@soulmuva What you have described, refers to the "pick-me girls".
They seek male validation and their actions/decisions are largely centred around and catered towards the men. They aren't what you call a girl's girl.
@hollowearthterf And also, in many societies, women are still expected to be main caregiver, more often than not, women quit job to care for sick/elderly/child at home with or without special needs. Men continue to work, while the woman quit job n stay home to be caregiver
@hollowearthterf The people in comments missing the point entirely. Do ppl not know that back in old gen, women had to stop school after certain age to look after the home, while the boys in the household get to continue their education, get a decent job, have bank account/loan?
Women: *answer a hypothetical question honestly*
Fragile ones: YOU’RE LYING. YOU’RE MENTALLY SICK. YOU HATE MEN. EVERYONE HATES YOU. I HOPE A BEAR EATS YOU. YOU SHOULD *redacted* YOURSELF. HOW MUCH DO WE HAVE TO SCREAM AT YOU BITCHES BEFORE YOU REALIZE WE’RE SAFE AND RESPECTFUL?
@davidgmandel This sounds horrifying and terrifying. And I can absolutely understand how everyone else in the household would feel trapped and constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the next shoe to drop.
I feel like this should go without saying, but…
Mail order brides are essentially indentured servants.
And I say this in love, but it needs to be said: If the only way you can get a woman to marry you is to exploit her desperation to get out of her impoverished country, then you probably aren’t great husband material.
Also, if you’re marrying a woman from an Asian culture primarily because you think she’ll be more naturally “submissive” and easier to control, you aren’t ready to be a husband.
Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Join a gym. Go on a few dates and ask for honest feedback about your social skills. Apply it.
Wives are humans, not appliances to be ordered out of catalogues.
@davidgmandel They're using it as a form of power control, exerting their dominance & influence over their victim(s). Usually, not all but in many cases, the man wants to establish control over his wife/gf + maybe even his or her children. He's showing "I'm the boss, show me respect, or else."
@davidgmandel They know exactly what they're doing. They're refusing to take accountability for their actions and behaviour. They're pushing the blame on their victims. It's a form of punishment. "I did this because you____. You caused me to lose my temper and hit you. You're the one to blame"
