It's a stereotype, but it's one that isn't untrue.

Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

I've noticed this behaviour in older people a lot more than with my peers.
But to be fair, they grew up with parents from a generation where divorce was illegal, rape was excused an disabled people used as guinea pigs. They did not come from a great situation
Did you mean illegal?
I did, yes. I'll fix that
Last week I bought my wife flowers, just as a nice thing for when she got off work on a Tuesday. Sat down on the bus and the lady across from me leans over and says: You shouldn't've bothered.
Three....THREE other ladies nodded and mmhmmm'd.
It really pissed me off that the assumption was that I'd fucked up and made her mad somehow and was trying to smooth it over with flowers.
Wow this thread is almost entirely the straights being not okay
Them: "Lemmy's not misogynistic!"
Also them:
My wife was like this all the time. It was so exhausting and I couldn't keep track of what she was mad about anymore. Then she started accusing me of cheating on a regular basis.
Then I found the texts in her phone to multiple other guys. Pictures and everything. I bent over so far backwards for her to keep her happy and that's what happened.
Dumped her ass, got a new girlfriend that is radically different (she communicates) and I'm getting my life back on track. Restraining order in place. The future will be good.
This meme is a heartbreaking story about alcoholism
