It feels like a new low every day in "Relationships"

Just as the title, really. I'm not so active on here but read a lot whenever I'm taking a break. Is it just me that feels as though every day there's a new low in behaviour posted in "Relationships"? Or was I a bit naïve before?

If you're referring to the number of blokes who seem to pop in thinking a forum of women are here to give them advice on whatever self inflicted issue they have i agree.

Oh, sorry, I didn't make it clear what I was referring to. I just meant the behavioural lows in people's "D"Hs and "D"Ps. Though I have noticed the phenomenon you mention, too.

I am consistently shocked to be honest. Both in the behaviour some posters describe from their partners and also that they are even questioning whether it is normal. I agree with you OP.

Are things getting worse out there? 😔 😕

I am always shocked but thrilled that if those are genuine cases that those women have a place to reach out and find out that their 'D'H are abusive twits and have some support to leave if appropriate.

I was being a bit flippant OP.

I do agree though, the standards some people have for their partners are appalling.

Yes, there's been a real uptick in male "help me make my wife see reason" recently I've noticed that

I've also noticed a lot more of women dealing with very substandard men, more so than usual. The guy who expects his wife to deal with his poo stained undies as an example
