from bb, that "toxic wife" story ticked me off. as if the husbands have no free will. -- nm

ugh.

(not, of course, that i think the women's actions are ok, at all, if true. i wonder about full stories and such there, like how things are at first encouraged or enabled/not dissuaded, etc.)

Responses:

oh, yes, and women should be able to overpower absuive husbands, too. No reason why not. ;-) - Beryllium Nov 28, 15:54 3
- did i miss mention of actual abuse? - b! Nov 28, 16:01 2
  - No, I was saying that psychological abuse and physical abuse aren't all that different - Beryllium Nov 28, 16:01 1
    - only the first incident was described as an abusive one, but they didn't say it was more than that one time. - b! Nov 28, 16:09
the whole thing is funny to me. When bad things happen to bad people. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 15:50 9
- Wait, the men who had the misfortune of marrying a "toxic wife" are the bad people in this scenario? -- nm - Stephen Nov 28, 16:16 7
  - i think people usually end up with the spouse they deserve - pigby Nov 28, 16:28 3
    - i don't agree with that. subject line starting with that people change sometimes, and you can't always predict that. - b! Nov 28, 16:32 2
      - Yeah, I don't agree with that either. -- nm - Stephen Nov 28, 16:40
      - fix that, please: "i don't agree with that subject line." -- nm - b! Nov 28, 16:33
  - for me: i don't think they're necessarily bad, i'm just saying they're not necessarily complete victims either. - b! Nov 28, 16:26 1
    - I'm just thinking that if the women married the men for their money, and the men married the women for their looks their both bad... - Stephen Nov 28, 16:41
  - That's the presumption, yes; that they were shallow enough to opt for a trophy wife. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 16:19
- i can see that, except when kids are involved. -- nm - b! Nov 28, 15:55
