Husband Gifts His Wife A Book On Self-Help Written By A Misogynist Right-Wing Author
Relationships and marriages are tough, even when partners share identical views on life. When they don’t, it can get messy.
After the initial infatuation starts to fade, true love and devotion begin to take their place. But when partners don’t share the same ideals, it is hard for the bond to be created.
Some people are pretending at the beginning of the relationships, and it is hard to see through them. But no one can act forever, and they eventually show their real face.
Unfortunately, by that time, their partners are already heavily invested in the relationships, have kids with them, etc. Knowing that their partner is tied to them makes them even more powerful, and they start revealing more and more of their true nature with their every action.
One Reddit user shared a story about a Christmas gift. It was from her husband, and she found it to be appalling and deeply disturbing.
Well, it happens – husbands are often lousy at gift shopping. But this was no simple mistake. And no, it wasn’t a kitchen appliance.
You are probably wondering what could be worse than that. A weight scale? No.
Read on, and you will find out…
OP asks:
She found a package by accident, and it turned out to be a Christmas gift her husband ordered for her.
It is a book on self-help written by a misogynist right-wing author.
And she can't believe her husband could do something like that. It is not something you would want to receive as a gift, especially from your partner.
OP also shared some additional info:
The husband tried to make it right by getting some new gifts. But the damage was already done.
Also, he still can't understand why she is so upset.
OP also gave more information about her emotional state.
And clarified that her views on the author of the book were based on good research.
Redditors immediately recognized the author:
Hard to disagree...
People were mostly shocked by the message that gift was sending:
This book will fix ya, honey...
Fighting fire with fire...
Other similar suggestions came...
That's why he is ex
How can a father want his daughter to be submissive and quiet wife?
Some people think that there are bigger problems in this marriage.
Obviously...
This is an excellent question
OP responded:
And her answer raised new questions:
God point
Doesn't sound promising at all...
Some Redditors made a good point. He was lowing and caring while she was going through a difficult divorce, and after he got under her skin and gained her trust, he started to show his real face.
There is much more here than a simple Christmas gift. He is basically telling his wife how he expects her to behave.
And the book is by a right-wing author, so we can only imagine what roles he had envisioned for women. We hope things will work out for this couple, and we hope the OP will never read that book.
Unfortunately, men will…
