AIBU to give my wife a small amount of sedatives each day?

[MotherEarthisaTerf]

Just a little mild sedative daily so she never realises there are better men out there?
AIBU?

From MNHQ: We implore you to read the thread before reporting!

Hello @MotherEarthisaTerf a little context is needed here as your thread was reported multiple times!

Did not know Home Secretary is on MN!

Surely 'better men' don't administer noxious substances without consent?

What now?

What have I just read?

I'm going to guess James Cleverly. Who doesn't appear to be too Clever right now.

If your wife is Jo of the Chalet School, YANBU. Otherwise YABU.

He should resign

If you do it cleverly enough that it is apparently fine.

I was one of the people who reported this but just in case you are real - no, it is never ok to administer any kind of drug to a person without their consent.

Kanye? Talk about closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

I came on to say the same thing 😂😂

Oh for heaven's sake.

It’s depressing that men in government are still engaging in this ‘banter’. What prospect is there of ending violence against women and girls if the people leading the country think it’s funny?

Now chuckling at four of us all posting links to the story at exactly the same time.

Indeed! I think it's a joke thread about James Cleverley...

A monumentally stupid thing to say, even if it was 'ironic' and especially at a Downing Street reception. We really are led by donkeys.

Great minds!

MNHQ were on the ball there 😅

It’s only locker room talk. Everyone does it.

unless you live in a shithole.
