"Men will give up their happiness for their families but women will give up their families for their happiness."

My DH explaining the burden of being a man to me this morning.

He's saying it the wrong way around.

More likely the other way round.

The TBH I’d have thought it was the other way around. I’d like to know how many men sod off with the OW and leave their wives and kids, compared to women who sod off with the OM and leave their husbands and kids.

I know only of the first category.

I’m looking forward to his hilarious Edinburgh show 🙄

He's literally got it the wrong way round 🙄

Has he got into the INCEL world?

Never heard that but if anything it’s the other way round

FuckItItsFine · 22/12/2024 15:51

Sounds like he’s living in opposite land.

KimberleyClark · 22/12/2024 15:51

Isn’t it the other way around?
