Real question: if you hate your husband, why not break the marriage off and find someone more compatible with you?

r/

There have just been so many “ I hate my husband” posts lately and I’m so confused.

I have one divorce on my belt and a called off engagement. Kids involved both times. A house involved one of the times.

It’s hard to leave. But it’s hard to stay with someone you hate when there’s someone better out there for you and for them. Choose your hard.

    What posts say, “I hate my husband?” from this sub?

    The number one reason I’m sure is financial, especially right now. The resounding consensus is a lack of safety nets, no support, etc . . .

    I bet if you pulled up with a deed to property in their area, childcare help and enough of a cushion to cover bills for 6-12 months they would run out with the passion of a cartoon coyote.

    Choices are overrated in my opinion. Everyone struggles with unique challenges, mentalities, upbringings. Each journey will be different and each person deserves dignity in their own story and timeline.

    facts. I know a lot of people are like ‘kids on reddit will tell you to divorce the father of your 3 children because he won’t do the dishes’ but the stories posted here read like – I (21F) and my husband (38M) have 3 kids. We both work full time and I’ve asked him multiple times to help with the dishes, or at least to wash his own dishes when he eats but he adamantly refuses, saying his mother used to do it when they were a family. I can put up with the fact that he doesn’t remember my birthday, look after the kids, or pitch in for the holidays but this is really my last straw. What should I do??

    me: do you know you have rights??

    I think people are scared to be alone. Maybe money or health is a factor, and they haven’t mentioned it for whatever reason. If anyone is financially independent and unhappy with their spouse, they have buck up and leave.
