“I Starve All Day, Every Day”: Pregnant Woman Locks Herself In Bathroom To Escape Partner’s Tantrum
Pregnancy is difficult, stressful, and, at the end of the day, hunger-inducing, so it’s pretty important to have a good support system, whether it’s your partner, friends, or family. However, as many women have learned the hard way, some men might have the body of an adult but still have the entitlement of a bratty two-year-old.
TikToker Genni Fields shared a shocking clip of her partner getting angry over her mom bringing her food to help with her pregnancy cravings. Bored Panda has reached out to Genni on TikTok and will update the article when she gets back to us.

A pregnant woman had to deal with a partner who was jealous of the food her mom had brought her

Partner: “I’ll go get my food if I want it, whether you want food too is up to you.”
Her: “Okay.”
Partner: “I am tired of literally starving day in and day out. I’m pretty sure I weigh 140 pounds by now.”

Partner: “No, I’m [fricking] serious, Jennifer. I starve all day, every day, while your mom brings you the things that you want. Tell me, is that fair to me?”
Her: “Bryce, I don’t know that she’s gonna bring me stuff.”
Partner: “Then you should tell her no, not unless there’s enough for Bryce too, because he literally sits here and starves every day. And I’m tired of it.”
Her: “Okay.”

OP appears to be stuck with a man who is not capable of taking care of himself
Despite how objectively bad, annoying, and toxic it is, the idea of a manchild goes back, presumably, as far as the Roman empire. Unlike the modern iterations, which can’t seem to feed or handle themselves, the “eternal boy” (Puer aeternus) was often seen as a more positive thing. Given the abundance of man-children now, this seems like a deeply naive way to look at things.
It would refer to an older person, with all the joy, energy, and zest for life characteristic of a child. In that sense, the man off-screen in this video is something else, as he seems to have no energy, no zest for life, and is as helpless as the baby being carried by OP. Of course, he is not actually helpless, and that is what makes him a manchild and not a literal child. Incidentally, the use of the word “man” here is not accidental, as some psychologists believe that men are more prone to being overly reliant on women for basic needs.
What might complicate this issue is that “Immature personality disorder” is a real condition that many adults actually suffer from. At the same time, there are, no doubt, thousands of people who were born perfectly fine and then raised to be lazy, useless adults, like the one whose voice we hear offscreen in this video.

Some people will use every manipulation tactic in the book to not do any work
Symptoms vary but include all the expected hallmarks, like extreme entitlement that turns into aggression when not fulfilled. While the method of aggression may vary, the sort of manipulation that was audible here is one sign. Immature people will utilize passive aggression (“I starve all day”) to make the other person guilty, never mind the fact that they are just as able-bodied, if not more able-bodied. At the same time, they might be controlling, never wanting the other person to develop further.
At the same time, these sorts of people will be quite passive about their own lives, as they are generally quite psychologically dependent on others. The contradiction is quite clear here, for example, this man stated that he was being literally starved by a pregnant woman, but has made no effort to leave. The truth is, he is probably quite comfortable with someone else taking care of things for him. Indeed, he might actually believe that he will simply starve to death outside.
An actual adult were to legitimately think the other person is starving them, would simply get up and dump them on the spot. Instead, despite the “abuse” he claims, he does nothing but whine and requests that OP’s mother bring him food. Given the ability to literally order food these days, it’s sort of confusing just how incapable he seems to be. Fortunately, for basically everyone, OP shared some updates, which can be found below the scorching roast viewers commented about this man.
Viewers viciously mocked the manchild in the comments

Little Bryce can cook his own f*****g food. And do some dishes while you're at it, champ.
Exactly. JFC imagine actually claiming you’re starving and losing weight because your wife won’t make you food. Like is he stupid or something? What an absolute embarrassment of a man.

I kept reading because I was like ‘please tell me she’s not with him anymore!!’ People, be a partner not a dependent. I’d say don’t be a child, but most kids over the age of 5 can figure out how to feed themselves a simple meal if necessities are within reach. Therefore calling these kinds of people a child is insulting to children.
I have managed to use my phone's camera without actually shoving it up my nostrils. Why do these boring tiktokkers think we want to hear them complain while we look at their sinus cavities? Please stop posting these garbage tiktok posts.
Because they are recording in secret, genius.

It's a well-documented finding that women in abusive relationships (including verbal abuse) experience even worse treatment from their partners during pregnancy. It's even one of the factors in lethality assessment for cases where women fear for their safety. I hope very much that she leaves this man.
Good god, I watched the tiktok last night and I can still hear Brice whining like a little boy who isn't all there.
I am confused as to why an able bodied man with a job and home is starving.... can he not buy food or prepare it? Is he too intellectually stunted to order a pizza? I could feed myself as a child. Also to be angry at your woman while she is suffering from horrific morning sickness--even if she is in the wrong, which doesn't seem to be the case--is more than incompassionate. Or unfair. It is borderline abusive. Show a pregnant woman some TLC, it is a tough time mentally, physically and emotionally. Her body is working hard. At the very least, feed your damn self.
OMgosh! Have you ever noticed that whines-@ss men complaining about women sound exactly like whiney-@ss white people complaining about Black people and other POC?
This had nothing to do with race, until you..... Happened

Am I the only one that noticed the comment about Bryce losing both his arms? Did BP bury a maybe, kinda, important fact about this situation?????
No 😂 it was a joke. As in, "did he lose his arms, is that why he's not capable of making a sandwich for himself?"
