I am so upset and angry , I don't understand why men think they are some kind of gods , and especially my husband doesn't think what he is . He sent me this and I'm so upset about it, do you think he meant it as a joke and I've taken it to heart?

The joke doesn't make sense.

@SoNiceToComeHomeTo Are you fucking for real? She’s going to be told how she can’t take a joke.

GreatTheCat · 11/12/2024 03:34

It's a joke, not a funny one, but a joke.
I find it more interesting about your shit sex life.

I'm disabled.

Jokes are funny. That is way beyond funny. On any level.
He wouldn't be near me that's for sure.

You have misunderstood my post. Must you be so rude?

Well he's a really special kind of cunt isn't he.

This

It’s a shock when someone you love broadcasts their unpleasantness but I’d rather know then not know. As shocking as receiving this was, I’d be surprised that your H is a twat is new news.

Update : I spoke to him last night, he came back from work. He apologised profusely and said he had the picture in his gallery as some guy in the group put it up and as he sent me a few videos altogether it got sent accidentally. I told him how it is insensitive and how I felt about it . He says it wasn't targeted towards me and that when the guy had put it up he had words with him too about making jokes about disability. So he was ashamed, he apologised and he told the guy off too. Then sent me this

A goodly number of men are given to saying truly dreadful things and they do mean these things to hurt and upset. When this is accomplished though, they'll do this "Oh, darling, I'm so sorry, but how could I possibly know you'd take this to heart? It was a joke!" It's called plausible deniability ~ look it up. A really skilled player can get a woman to apologise for being upset over such a trifle, and he will likely get hot make-up sex.

It's making me think like is this what u think of me? That all the good women are taken and you are stuck with me ?

I think he was confidant you'd think, being taken, that you are one of the good ones.

Annoyingly there was no make up sex at all 😂

Now THAT meme I do find amusing 😁

I think you’re definitely over thinking it. It was just a shit joke.

I'm not , but i have a son with a disability and I cant believe he said this

This is why I would be upset. I'd wonder what he really thought of disabled people. Probably that's because, as a disabled woman, I've had men and women make outrageous statements and 'jokes' that covered up their true ideas about my worth as a human being.

ETA: Just saw your update. That's at least something.

ToGiftOrNotToGift · 11/12/2024 13:04

I'm late to this thread,but this jumped out at me:

now he's 5 my husband has started to contribute towards helping me out .

What do you mean by this, @Accbabymom1994 ?

LadyKenya · 11/12/2024 13:05

I laughed when I saw that, and I am disabled. Saying that, my sense of humour is rather offbeat.

Choosing whether to be offended is definitely up to you. It wouldn’t offend me as I’m not disabled.
I’d think it was a shit ‘joke’ though and it would give me the ‘ick’.

Are you also not offended by racism when someone else is targeted?

So he never would pick him up from me when he cried or took him out etc

In poor taste, sure, but it goes both ways. With the comments I've seen many women in here make about men, I don't think either side really has many 'righteous' representatives.

I'd treat it as a Jimmy Carr-style joke. Meant to be offensive, and if it's the 'wrong' day, well...

So you have shouldered the entire responsibility of raising this child on your own?

Surely you realise how wrong all this is? Do you really, truly want to spend the rest of your life with this man? What do you need to break free from him?

Sorry....... so many questions... but this awful joke is just the tip of a huge iceberg, isn't it...
