I worry about how this post will come across but I feel like it needs to be said… I’m really glad that this subreddit exists because I often see women coming here with stories of clearly abusive husbands and they don’t realize it’s abuse until the comments start coming in. I love that this community exists to help women see this when they’ve been led to believe it is normal behavior.
But…if you spend enough time on this subreddit then it’s easy to believe that this is just how men. After spending time on this sub I end up being extremely grateful for even the tiniest things my husband does and wondering how I got so lucky to end up with someone that matches my effort. I feel like that mindset is a bit toxic and I could see myself putting up with a partner that put in half the work I put in because at least he isn’t abusive.
People tend to seek advice when there are problems so I feel like this community is missing out on hearing some positives. Please share your stories of the good men in your life that treat women with respect and don’t use weaponized incompetence.
I want everyone to know that good men exist, you deserve one, and you do not need to put up with this bullshit.
