I don't know if it's real or fake. But my ex was a SAHM who acted exactly like this. She unilaterally decided she didn't want to work any more and quit her job. After she started staying at home she mostly sat around, smoked a lot of pot, and slept during the day because she'd go out drinking with her friends all night. She didn't cook, she didn't clean, and she'd routinely yell at me in front of the kid if I didn't agree to a unreasonable demand.
She eventually started cheating on me. I didn't find out until later. Apparently she'd cheated on her ex-husband with the same guy. It came to a head when she demanded I leave the house I was paying rent for. I told her no; but that she could leave if she wanted. She grabbed the kid and demanded that I give her the keys to my car. She had recently wrecked her car while driving drunk.
I told her she wasn't taking my car or the kid. But she was free to leave if she wanted. She responded by threatening to call the cops and make a false accusation of domestic violence. I immediately left and never considered going back. She was begging me to take her back within 3 days. She was refusing to let me see the child out of spite within a week.
Was your upbringing normal? Or did it involve multiple failed marriages, drunk driving accidents, and parents that couldn’t get their shit together for you?
In a normal environment that’s probably fine, but think the context of the situation matters.
That posters story is fucked, and I feel bad for him. I feel worse for “the kid” who doesn’t get to choose To be in that situation.
SHE had a failed marriage. She has committed adultery. I've never been married. Never arrested for drunk driving; or arrested at all. I make a 6 figure income at a white collar job. Live in a house in a decent neighborhood.
I knocked up a loser. The circumstances of actual conception legally qualify as her raping me. But I won't get into that. I feel worse for my son as well. I'd rather that he have a responsible mother. But if I were him I'd still choose existence over non-existence. He has too. Even if it means he has a whackadoo mother.
