I hope the poor bloke realises this is not normal behaviour and shouldn't feel a card sent to the wrong person is "life threatening" for him.

This is all sorts of fucked up. What a terrible article. No, it's not funky pigeon's fault for sending the card. No she shouldn't be opening your post. No she shouldn't have smashed every bloody thing up. And no, MEN should not be publishing an article about it like it's a bit of a joke.

It's horrendous. I couldn't believe my eyes. And this is being passed around Facebook like is a bit of a laugh 😡

That is one seriously toxic relationship.

Considering he refers to his own infidelity as being "a bit of a naughty boy" I suspect he isn't that bothered.

But yes, it's not ok to treat violence and vandalism as a joke.

He seemed perfectly happy with the situation and admitted to cheating in the past.

Someone must have sent the card to him, it didn't send itself. That sort of mistake wouldn't happen.

Why was she opening his mail anyway?

It says he's adult daughter sent him a card but there had been a mix up and he got the wrong card

Obviously noone knows what really happened but it is very irresponsible journalism

I knew it would be this article before I opened the thread...yanbu

Who even does that then smiles for the press afterwards?? Batshit. Poor example for their kids too.

SemiFeralDalek · 22/06/2021 12:11

It just shows them up and reads like a try on for funky pigeon to send compensation for the stuff his partner smashed up.

FairyDust123456 · 22/06/2021 13:20

I thought the exact thing. Terriable, not a joke and not funny! If this was the other way around? Well, rightly so, it would be called abusive. Why did she open his card? Very irresponsible journalism.

sunnysidegold · 22/06/2021 13:39

Oh this is just awful! That woman seems so blasé about smashing up all the stuff!

Doesn't seem like the most trusting relationship to be honest.

Worriesome · 22/06/2021 13:41

If this was the other way around it wouldn’t go down the same way

Didn't get chance to properly read the article as the pop ups on that site drive me insane but it sounds pretty toxic to me.
