When they show up, look at them with a flat expression, then say:

Man Whines About Wife Allegedly Not Treating Him ‘Like A Man,’ She Doesn’t Think He Deserves It
March 7, 2025
One of the prominent figures of world literature once wrote incredibly apt words about a century ago that his and his wife’s boat of love got smashed to pieces on the reefs of everyday life. And in fact, you don’t have to be an outstanding writer to fall into this everyday trap – thousands of couples around the world fall into it year after year.
The user u/ThrowRA compacted, the author of the story we’re about to tell you this time, was also unlucky. Firstly, her husband turned out to be incredibly sloppy and completely unwilling to do anything around the house. And secondly, the guy compensated for his incompetence in everyday life with a virtuoso ability to manipulate others. However, let’s just take things in order.
More info: Reddit
The author of the post is married to a man who doesn’t want to do any household chores at all

The man is also quite a skillful manipulator, so he definitely knows which of his wife’s buttons to press

Recently the spouses made an agreement to split the chores between the two of them, but the man failed everything on his part

So the woman ended up doing everything on her own, not able to watch the mountains of dirty dishes in the sink and whatnot

The guy however started sulking about her ‘not treating him like a man,’ and held a grudge against her
So, the Original Poster (OP) and her husband, both in their mid-20’s, have been married for several years, and during this time our heroine has had many issues with household chores. More precisely, with the fact that the hubby didn’t want to do any at all. Constant requests and reminders over the years of living together only led to the guy once saying that he was already starting to hate his wife for these reminders.
The spouses tried to agree to fairly divide the chores between the two of them – but the result was only mountains of unwashed dishes in the sink, and nothing more. The husband simply ignored his part of the agreement, showing his contempt for any chores with his whole appearance. It got to the point that the OP, when the amount of dirty dishes exceeded all reasonable sizes, simply went and did everything herself.
Do you think this helped? No. Of course, the house became cleaner, but now the spouse began to whine and sulk that his wife allegedly doesn’t perceive him as a real man. At the same time, the guy did not even make a single attempt to at least somewhat start doing his part of the chores. Moreover, recently he suggested, when the kid was already in bed, to watch a movie together.
The OP was excited – but the pile of dishes unwashed by him couldn’t help but upset her. She got up and started washing everything, and the man simply went into the bedroom. And when the woman returned, he was demonstratively watching videos on YouTube, and then turned away from her and fell asleep.
And now, to the whole range of feelings that the author is experiencing, a burning feeling of resentment towards her husband was added. And she decided to ask for advice and support online.

“It seems to me that this looks, firstly, like complete disrespect for the wife, her requests and needs, and secondly, like a classic manipulation of the feelings of others – just to achieve their own goals,” says Maria Kryvosheeva, a psychologist and NLP specialist, whom Bored Panda asked to comment on this situation. “Weaponizing one’s own incompetence and shifting the blame to others – all this is also present here.”
“In fact, attempts to somehow find a common language with a person who behaves in this way are almost always doomed to failure. Because in fact, you are playing by their rules here, and they know perfectly well what they will do next, and which of your buttons they will press to achieve the desired result.”
“As we can see, even a frank conversation with husband and an agreement didn’t lead to anything – and now she’s doing all the chores again, but now she also feels guilty – although he and only he is to blame here. In any case, it seems to me that all further conversations should be conducted here in the presence of a qualified mediator who will not allow her spouse to manipulate her further,” Maria sums up.
But people in the comments simply urge the original poster to file for divorce as soon as possible – because they’re sure that this man will not change. And years of absolute disrespect for her and her words are further proof of this, the responders believe.
“It’s only going to get worse. He doesn’t respect you or value you and your feelings,” someone presumed. And do you, our dear readers, also agree with this interpretation of the case? Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
Mot commenters urged the woman to file for divorce because they don’t actually believe this man can change to any better

Woman Uses One Savage Line Whenever Men Want To Split The Bill On Dates
November 7, 2023
Is gallantry dead? A woman has made it her mission to ensure that she receives first-class princess treatment whenever she’s invited on a first date.
Pearl Botts, from Los Angeles, disclosed her clever approach when men suggest splitting the bill while out dining, a strategy that hasn’t garnered unanimous approval from everyone.
Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert, has further shared with Bored Panda her take on the traditional unwritten rule that states that men should always foot the bill when they first encounter a woman for a romantic dinner.

The singer has admitted to strongly embracing the concept of “feminine energy” and has tended to favor scenarios where men are at ease with their traditional role as providers.
Taking to her Instagram page followed by 10,000 people, Pearl revealed in a video that she has employed a specific phrase whenever a first date took an unfavorable turn, and this tactic has consistently proven effective for her.
According to Pearl, a woman paying for her own meal is “disrespectful and emasculating to the man”

She explained: “When a man wants to go 50/50 with you on a date, say: ‘Oh my god, I’m so embarrassed right now.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends? I’m so confused – this whole entire time I thought this was a date.
“‘I’m so sorry – here’s my card.’”
“It has nothing to do with my own capability to provide and protect for myself”

Pearl, who frequently also uploads videos on her TikTok page followed by 11,800 thousand people, emphasized the importance of conveying to men that if she were to split the bill, she wouldn’t be satisfied with pursuing a relationship.
She prefers using her straightforward phrase to establish expectations during the initial date, where there’s little at risk.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends?” Pearl would say on dates where men want to split the bill

When you let a man pay, she says, “you’re making space and giving room for him to step into his divine masculinity”
@pearlbotts Replying to @Kelly Lingus i find this disrespectful to the man #divinemasculnineenergy #feminineenergy #datingadvice #datingtips ♬ original sound – Pearl Botts
Several men and women supported the influencer’s approach, asserting that it’s prudent to establish your expectations right from the beginning.
A person commented: “The next move is that [Pearl] pays her half and never sees him again.
“She’s not looking for a 50/50 relationship and that’s fine. She’s sending a message loud and clear.”
A woman questioned: “I don’t understand why guys can’t pay for the whole bill?
“Why would you ask a woman on a date if you’re not going to pay? Who raised you?”
Others disagreed as a person wrote: “The person who invited out on a date should pay.”
A man commented: “Yeh no, if a girl ever pulled this on me I’d split the bill and never see her again.
“None of that toxic sh*t I want bringing into a relationship.”
The singer’s video sparked different reactions as some said her response was toxic

Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert who is the Vice President and Chief Protocol Officer of the California Branch of the Royal Society of St. George, told Bored Panda that according to traditional standards, the person who initiates the date should be prepared to pay the bill, including the tip.
“However, in many cultures when a man invites a woman on a date, he covers the entire bill,” Maryanna explained.
She continued: “It is up to the woman to present herself in a classy and elegant way without being greedy and needy, if she wants to be invited back.
“However, in some situations, the woman can definitely offer to pay half of the bill. And the man can refuse or agree to accept it.
“Either way, if the first date is over coffee, and the man initiated the date, let him pay.
“If the first date is over lobster, the woman can suggest to split the bill and it is up to the man to accept it or not.”
The etiquette coach revealed that she personally prefers a man who handles the initial responsibility and takes care of the bill, especially if he was the one who initiated the date.
Pearl’s method ignited divided replies
