Wife's epic temper tantrum posted to YouTube

[mainer]

Almost too astonishing to be believed. Even if the husband were a jerk, what adult woman acts like this?

[NYC_SKP]

1. I don't blame her one bit. Hubby is a fucking dick, and asshole, and asswipe, a manipulator bully.

Fuck him.

How you don't see it is disturbing.

The fact that he can laugh, can film her, then post it, is or should be criminal.

It's fucking abuse. Plain and simple.

Not funny.

[Kaleva]

2. Massive flareup of the old hemorrhoids today?

[NYC_SKP]

3. Nothing reduces the swelling like a good rant!

[Major Nikon]

14. I've heard this works...

15. It's childish passive aggressive behavior running headlong into childish aggressive behavior

Looks like a perfect match and now they are getting a divorce.

[NYC_SKP]

16. Except I fear that they may be addicted to their rut.

Maybe they deserve each other, each clearly hate one another yet there they are, together.

Codependent and permanently miserable, they live for the drama.

That, or he's just the biggest ass in the county!

[Logical]

18. LOL, I can imagine your reaction if the roles were reversed. n-t

[Posteritatis]

27. Yep. Whatever the context, the husband is an asshole of the lowest order. (nt)

[cliffordu]

33. Well, shit, skippy tell us how you REALLY feel....

[NYC_SKP]

34. Right? Hell, if I knew where they lived I would be on the lake, right fucking now....

...with her and some wine, wiping away her tears, while Bozo there gets his tires rotated.

[cliffordu]

35. Show me a husband who don't

I'll show you a neighbor who do......

[In_The_Wind]

36. Ain't that the truth.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I'd love to know the backstory here. People can be provoked and manipulated into

some pretty extreme behavior, and that may be what we are seeing here. Maybe she's nuts, maybe he knows how to push her buttons. I'd be willing to be that there's more to this story that we can see from a you tube clip.

[Sheldon Cooper]

11. I think you're right.

While her behavior is extreme, I think this is typical of the dynamic in their relationship. He's a dick, she responds, lather rinse repeat. I had a husband once who was a bit like this, and while I never quite lost my shit the way this woman did, he knew how to play me. We are divorced.

[distantearlywarning]

5. I saw this last week.

Her behavior is pretty bad, but he also seems very manipulative, like he's deliberately egging her on. I strongly suspect this is a primary dynamic in their marriage - he taunts and patronizes her, she throws a fit, he taunts and patronizes some more, she throws a bigger fit, she gets to be as out of control as she likes and then he gets to think of himself as the more "mature" person, and the cycle goes on and on. I'm sure it would be just super fun to live with or be friends with either one of these asshats. I think both these people need help, or a divorce, or both.

[Sheldon Cooper]

12. Wow - I just replied above.

That's exactly how I see this, too.

[Logical]

19. Of course it is always the mans fault. I get it. n-t

[Posteritatis]

28. Naturally. I mean, the gun to his head forcing him to post that is so obvious. (nt)

[Logical]

29. Yes, and the gun to her head making her act like a 3 year old. n-t

[pipi_k]

24. I've been exposed to

the same type of "egging on".

And every time I've allowed myself to get sucked in, I've kicked myself for letting it happen.

Emotionally mature people don't allow others...no matter how manipulative...to suck them into the crazy.

Honestly, I didn't hear anything terribly outrageous from him that would justify her infantile behavior. Not that anything would justify it. She's not two years old. She's not someone with a developmental disorder who can't verbalize.

Ugh. Utterly embarrassing. I was going to say her parents would probably be embarrassed as well, but I have a suspicion that she learned to act that way from her parents who likely gave in every time she had a tantrum.

[HappyMe]

6. They are both asshats.

Good grief, even when my sons were 2 they never acted like that. He should not have posted this, but I don't think they were going to drain the lake.

They should get divorced.

[riderinthestorm]

7. She sounds unhinged. And he's the dick whose pushing her over the brink.

What a hideous dynamic.

Its grotesque he chose to post this rather than looking at it as a serious alarm bell for both of them jangling loudly "GO TO COUNSELING!"

[pipi_k]

25. I dunno...

I have a feeling she's been doing this type of thing from childhood on and doesn't see anything wrong with it and that the problem is all him and what he "won't let her do".

Also, I don't think he's a "dick pushing her over the brink". If she were two years old, then his teasing attitude would suck, because you don't tease little kids like that.

But she's not two years old.


I just wonder if she ever acted like that before they got married, and if she did, that should have been a huge red flag for him to drop her like a hot potato.

[Populist_Prole]

31. I agree. It's all her. The calmer and more rational he is, the madder she gets

But that doesn't mean he's taunting or egging her on, it means she is not in full control of her faculties. It's a similar dynamic when trying to reason with an an indignant drunk.

[blueamy66]

8. what a whackjob

How old is she, 2?

[Dash87]

9. Fake

[Brigid]

20. I was wondering the same thing.

Ridiculous. If this is real, they deserve each other.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

maybe.

but why? what do they stand to gain from it?

just pranking the internet.



I bet the boat is hitched to the back of that vehicle and they are headed to the water. yep.

punking the tubes, I think so.

[narnian60]

10. Drunk maybe?

Couldn't watch the whole thing. Please tell me they don't have kids.

[nolabear]

26. They do. Her.

YOWZAH.

[frogmarch]

13. They're probably

on their way to his mother's house, where they always go every goddamn time they have time off work together.

[rurallib]

17. I bet their parents were so glad when they got married

and got them out of the house

[Yavin4]

21. They're probably out on the lake having a good ole time n/t

[Brigid]

22. The comments are hilarious. My favorite:

Step 1: Take wife to the lake. Step 2: Drown wife in the lake. Step 3: Live happily ever after.

[MrScorpio]

30. I wouldn't put past anyone that this is an act just to get hits on the vid

Then again, this could be two crazy assholes out for a drive.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. Looks like an audition tape for the Jerry Springer show.

[cliffordu]

37. Not really CliffordU but his GF hijacking his page....I work at a hospital and see

tons of people come through the ER. I am utterly amazed sometimes at how couples or families talk and interact with each other. I am not saying he is not egging her on but I have seen grown ups, usually women, act like this. Little spoiled princesses. Usually their ailments are minor and the husbands/boyfriends either cater to their whining or they are indifferent and sometimes embarrassed. The dynamic is something to behold. Yet my older generation patients come through, with their broken hips, broken elbows, etc and are such stoics. Dignified. My generation needs to take a few notes and get some perspective. I mean she can't even get her oil changed by herself. WTF?

[nomorenomore08]

38. Like others have said, that is one fucked-up dynamic. He's an asshole and she's psycho.
