I want to sympathize but at the same time, were all these people who regret it just plugging their ears when GC disagreed with them? So many times I keep hearing things like "no one stopped me or told me I didn't have to" but it's all OUT THERE.

I'm very surprised this dude's family is still together for him, I hope once he does drop it that he'll have a more peaceful life.

It's a disconnect from reality. Think of it similarly to women that won't leave deadbeats. They have friends that tell them for years to go. Seemingly it has to be the right wording, like an effing incantation that calls them to the senses; verbal smelling salts. That's when it all comes rushing back.

That’s....not the same. A “deadbeat” is often the same guy who will ignore any kind of court order to stay away from you and hunt you down for leaving him. A woman staying with a man she’s afraid of isn’t a simple matter of “she must just be stupid to choose to stay”.

That's very much a stalker, not a deadbeat. I'm just talking about dudes that do bare minimum and leech off of their girlfriends/wives, expecting them to do all of the everything. Lazy fuckers.

Good job though, you had me hanging there and my second guessing myself game was strong. I had to look up the definition on google. This is not to shit on you, it's been Hell Week.

To be honest I kinda got that vibe from the op in that Reddit post. I don't want to be mean, but his wife has removed his hair for him and he's tired of it...? I wonder what else she does for him. His make-up?
