Psychopathy is characterised by an extreme lack of empathy. Psychopaths may also be manipulative, charming and exploitative, and behave in an impulsive and risky manner. They may lack conscience or guilt, and refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.

Psychopathy is a form of antisocial behavior that occurs with traits like impulsivity, lack of empathy, and stunted or low emotional development.

I could be mistaken, but I don’t think anyone is doubting this kind of thing isn’t happening with husbands and wives. It’s pretty common for women to threaten to leave, call the cops, take the kids, do all sorts of caniving manipulative things, etc.

What is being brought into question is whether the person posting it is making it up to troll the forum. There’s been several things he’s said that make me think that. Just one example, he said he’s not going to leave her, like that wasn’t an option at all. Then a few pages later he’s asking if he should cal it quits. Also he starts off the thread about his wife thawing out meat on the floor which is…. Interesting. But then it turned into all the problems about his wife.

I don’t think it’s wrong to question it, especially since it’s anonymous. Nobody likes being taken for a fool. Even if it is a made up situation, like Mater, I agree it’s a good discussion topic because many men do go through it.

If it is real, I do feel for the OP. Her behaviors go beyond post partum blues.

Totally agree. How can a Catholic woman say such things to her husband? Does she confess these sins? Does she even see them as sins?

Women are very repulsed when men get angered (especially in our modern era of feminism) whether it be because of her behavior or something else. If the anger becomes too much for her, she will resort to any means necessary to emotionally hurt the man so that he will remove himself from her presence when he is in this angered state. Since women are much more emotional by nature, they understand very well how to attack the man's so called nonexistent emotions.

What the one husband in the thread eluded to earlier about carrying his cross with an abusive wife, was that the man just learns to be patient with his wife's abusive behavior. Patience is a virtue, but at the same time like others have said, what kind of example does this set for the children? It's not healthy for the family. It creates resentment. God can't be happy with such backwards behavior. The man is submitting to the women. And about every commentor in the thread seems to be ignoring this or worse, obsfucating the root problem of the wife not being submissive to her husband

We can't do anything with the wife, she is not posting on CI.  It is easy to blame the person, who has no voice.  I do admit she sounds horrible, but our feelings of her come from her husband.  He has done nothing to give us anything to like about her.  If this is truly happening,  it is a very sad situation for both the man and the woman.  You know who will suffer the most?  The child.

These Trad-feminists have been brainwashed to hate men, authority and the EVIL patriarchy.  Everytime they criticize proper authority (ie husbands) they are criticizing God's hierarchy and plan for society.  

Good Catholics are supposed to be a representation of the Church out in the world.  This includes fighting for good and reproaching evil.  This includes being submissive to authority and husbands and showing respect….even to other husbands and other families.  

But feminists can’t fight for good, when the man is good and they can’t reproach evil when the woman is wrong.  This is why feminism is an extreme attack on the Church and society. 

And many Trad women are full on feminists.  Which means they are horrible catholic examples.

A nearly 20 page thread about how a man cannot tell his own wife to stop putting the family's food on the floor. And there are people here playing devil's advocate. We are absolutely lost.

Another example of your feminism.  This wife is completely in the wrong and you can’t admit it.  Women like you are the problem.  The wife is destroying the marriage and you’re making excuses for her.  You’ll be held accountable for your bad example, for all who read your horrid advice.
