Wasn't sure where to post this, but I found this one in the wild.
That’s funny
I distinctly remember a Kenny Rogers song ‘Ruby’
He is a vet who can’t have sex because of a war injury. He wants to kill his wife/caretaker because she goes out for sex on the weekends
It’s not exact, I don’t feel like looking it up
I just read a bunch of comments on Facebook from men who don't believe their wives are allowed to refuse sex for any reason. Hopefully most of them don't actually have wives. It's insane and I had to stop reading.
Holy fuck. I guess they haven't heard that marital rape is a thing...?
They're all on the "men have NEEDS" and "that's how men connect and feel loved 😢" and "why get married at all if you don't want to have sex constantly" it was really disturbing.
It's hard to love a man who's legs are bent and paralyzed, And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC0DbhmFtDg
Exactly
It’s ok for women to be deprived of sex. In fact, and the husband can kill her for straying
But let a wife say no to an additional chore for at the end of doing 90% of the housework men can then cheat, as if they weren’t already
Right? She didn't leave him because he was paralyzed, she's obviously taking care of him, but he expects a "woman her age" to shut everything down and be a nun. He could look the other way and be grateful she wants to stay with him and take care of him.
Exactly.
The song disgusts me for many reasons, one being my knowledge that some men could like his song yet call it ‘abuse’ and justification to cheat if the woman isn’t his personal fleshlight.
I genuinely don’t believe men when they claim to be abuse victims. Like ever.
Me neither. Boys, yes. Grown men, nope.
I know a man who was a victim of financial (and possibly psychological) abuse.
Though he didn't claim to be an abuse victim. He very reluctantly admitted that the relationship was not ideal when his adult children pointed out how his new wife quit work after marrying him, and lived on his money despite having quite a bit of her own. (Both were close to retirement age at the time)
So yeah ... I guess you're not wrong to never believe men when they claim abuse. Most men who are actually abused by women probably prefer to frame it as shitty relationship. Because once they break the psychological manipulation, they can get out without danger to their lives.
I know a man who was (probably) a victim of emotional abuse. He framed it exactly as you say: as just a shitty relationship.
I don’t think it ever would have crossed his mind to call it “abuse”.
And it hasn’t really impacted him psychologically. He broke up with that woman years ago and is now in another serious relationship with another woman.
One of the few men who I previously believed to have been abused, now claims to be trans. So I no longer believe that, given the number of TIMs I’ve seen who say their wives abused them cause they didn’t put up with their pervy behaviour
