There is no "male loneliness epidemic." It's a consequence.

Save that car cleaning bucket & re-gift it to him next year.

The guy who said it was “payback” just admitted he did it on purpose. What a cruel fool.

Buying yourself gifts doesn't fix the main problem. Him not caring is still the problem.

What woke me up?
The year my children said, "Santa didn't bring mommy any presents!"
We often don't notice the disrespect and even outright dislike being sent our way.

The man who called it "payback" knows absolutely that he did wrong.

Me and my mom are slowly moving our stuff out of the house. And my dad thinks everything is going back to normal. He has no clue me and my mom are leaving. Going no contact. Those who dont hear must feel.❤

The diamond/car wash supplies guy… absolutely fucking hates her and thinks she deserves nothing. He wanted to humiliate her. I hope she leaves

They should have gifted themselves divorce lawyers. 😤

Wow his tone said "you think you deserve a REAL diamond?"  Both of those people need to get away from eachother

This behavior teaches children not to HONOR their mothers!!!! THIS IS MEAN SPIRITED BEHAVIOR!!! A gift card for nails or spa at the minimum. WTF

Filled my own stocking after that first empty year, but that was hollow, too. So I threw out the whole man.

"They don't care about Xmas," until it's them getting nothing.

I give you two times. After the first time, it's a conversation. After the second? You've shown me that you don't care. 18 years??? You're kidding

I couldn't live like this and be happy...its like being in a passive aggressive war of the roses marriages

It seems most men see themselves as their wife's oldest child.

My mother's father was my sole caregiver from the time I was 8 years old. (TLDR: Father's folks passed before I was born. Mum died just before my first birthday of an accident. Mother's mother died when I was 8. Father was a deadbeat.)

Every. Christmas. My Grandfather Made Sure Our Stockings Were Stuffed.
Every. Christmas. My Grandfather Made Sure "Santa" Left A Gift.
Every. Valentines. My Grandfather Made Sure I Woke Up To A Little Box Of Chocolates And A Little Jewelry On My Bedside Table.

My Grandfather did this Every Year until he passed when I was 18. My Grandfather made sure his grandbabies had magical holidays, even after losing his daughter and his wife.

My Grandfather was not a perfect man, but he made sure that his granddaughter knew what a caring man looks like. These losers Do Not Care about their wives.

Only pour into those who pour into you. You aren't keeping the peace when YOU don't have peace!

14:06  Abuse is not just physical.  Abuse IS the dismissal, devaluation, lack of reciprocity, entitlement to mistreat you, and the erosion of your self-esteem and self-respect.

Matching their energy is absolutely draining… been there done that!!   I’m not matching energy; I’m LEAVING 😎😎
