30 Screenshots Of Toxic People Treating Their Significant Others Like Trash
Not every relationship ends in a ‘happily ever after.’ And sometimes, your knight’s shining armor is just for show. So much so that these people end up being called out on the front page of the internet for how awfully they treat their partners. Lies, accusations, and manipulation... it's an emotional rollercoaster that's more powerful than a soap opera.
Bored Panda has collected some of Reddit's most infamous posts about toxic relationships where people clearly don’t respect their significant other. You’ll find the stories and screenshots as you scroll down.
When you’ve read through this list, you can look through our previous articles about 'nice guys' who only pretend to be kind right here and here.

I Understand Coming Out Can Be Difficult, But Cheating On Your Wife Of 20+ Years Isn’t Okay
I know a guy like this, but in his defence, dude was a Sallesman ( image is very important ) and this was almost 30 years ago, plus everyone knew, even his wife, i assume they had an " understanding ", but he had 2 or 3 kids with her though.
Please Show His Wife The Note And Money
There is an online community called r/niceguys that features some of the worst cases of people pretending to be nice, only to put down others when they don’t get their own way. ‘Nice guys,’ no matter their gender, tend to be jealous, controlling, and spiteful.
‘Nice guys,’ like the ones portrayed on the r/niceguys subreddit, as well as other online communities, are all about creating the appearance of being kind, wholesome, and supportive. The reality, unfortunately, is often very different.
Husband Goes A-Wall Over Wife Giving A Man A Glass Of Water
Incel vibe from the person on the left. Anytime a woman acknowledges a man or is nice in anyway is flirting. Wow.
I agree with your idea, just not with the use of " incel " to describe the dude lol, we all know than an incel would never get married lol, they can't even get laid...

I feel like counseling would be good to try before immediately wanting divorce

1. that title made zero sense. AWOL. absent without leave, ffs. 2. they both sound incredibly...childish. 3. this right here, men, is why we call it toxic masculinity. You think any attention from women means we want you. And this is why we can be dismissive or downright rude.
To me she doesn't sound childish, just confused- I too would be if my husband went off like this over me sharing an interaction that, by all accounts, should be kinda funny at best...
Load More Replies... Not the exact same situation but I had a friendship like that. It was like walking on eggshells. No matter what I said or did, she’d turn it into something bad that I did. It was borderline abusive. I remember her screaming at me one time because I texted another friend happy birthday, when me and her we just had had a fight. She went berzerk. In hindsight I think she just had real issues. I cut all ties shortly after.
That husband is cheating. Pulling accusations out of thin air? Sorry, you gots a cheating spouse
In what universe is giving someone water flirting? So are just every waiter ever flirting with everyone?
I think left person was suffering slow gas leak, since they slowly lost brain cells during this text
Oh no, I've been in the position of the blue bubble similar to this and it's making my hairs stand on end. GET OUT save yourself....run far far away.
Me too. I finally got out after 24 years and it was the best decision I ever made.

In my experience a partner acting that irrationally jealous is cheating themselves.
WTF does "A-Wall" mean. Did you mean "AWOL"? If so, that still doesn't make sense.
According to incels, if a woman meets a man, she should straight up start bullying him, so that he wouldn't assume she's interested in him. Although I won't be surprised if they consider bullying a form of flirting too.
Bullying as a firm of flirting is called "nagging" and there are guys giving and taking courses. They think that it's a great idea to bully the girl so that she is getting insecure and wants to prove herself. It's disgusting. If a girl starts to bully the incel they just think she's nagging and therefore wants to be with him. You just can't win with some guys

I accidentally got delivered a Gatorade that I don't and won't drink. During pandemic so was not able to return. So took a accident and turned into a positive, gave it to the guy who mowed my lawn. I explained what happened and he was happy. After that he portrayed me differently and looked at me differently.... As most women would know "that" look. Then he made "the move". He was a good lawn dude but it was just free Gatorade not an invitation. Why dudes, why? Now I have a new dude....he does his job, gets paid, we don't meet up.
My reaction too! AWOL wouldn't make sense. Apeshit? Haywire?

What a tragic PoS that he would be threatened by something that trivial. The woman is absolutely right, it's just being nice.
Fix ur crown mama, and F that dude...insecurities run deep with that guy who's gaslighting the s**t outta you...and projecting is his super power...betcha he cheat too!!!!!
What is this? The middle ages? Both men in this story are cringe.
This is such a typical example of the willful obtuseness online trolls use to intentionally p**s people off. As an unrealistic and unworkable daydream, I would love to see some sort of automatic system that would deliver corrective electrical shocks of increasing intensity and duration whenever some mouth-breathing, Mom's-basement-dwelling, long-unwashed, anti-social incel starts pulling some crud like this. And everyone knows the "wife" he mentions in the one comment is really just his crusty waifu pillow.
this is the level of insanity that i lived in with my ex. literally just as stupid as this. glad that's over
Kind of like smiling at a guy on the trolley and suddenly he thinks I want to f*ck him. Um, no random creepy stranger, I was simply being polite - get the f*ck away from me. Luckily, I'm built like a linebacker so when I tell someone to f*ck off, in a not so gentle manner, they usually do.
'Low Self Esteem is the root cause of practically all the pain and misery in the world. It's what drives War and Torture and Genocide. It's what Evil is.' (Leonard from Northern Exposure)
This man sounds exactly like my ex. Literally exact same insecure messaging.
I think the caption was supposed to say AWOL (absent without leave) - A-WALL isn't a thing.
If that is her husband, I suggest she asks the 60 yo lawn dude to dig a nice hole she can then pitch him into- still breathing- what a DUCK if his name was Richard -
This is why men get so few compliments from women, especially strangers you will most likely never see again. You talk about how you can't read signals from willing and obviously interested women, yet a nervous smile or a random, general compliment turns you on. Good God... And if you're so insecure that your wife being polite to an elderly man in hot weather worries you, well, at least we know what kind of man you are, I guess.
I was once called a whore because I lent the guy in the next desk a pencil.
And just like that a marriage was over and lady is unmarried after all. I hope she is not married now because life with that man is no life. Straight up narcissistic gaslighter. If I were her I would be also checking him. Those who accuse on no basis are up to something not good themselves. Run girl. Run!!!
AWOL stands for absent without leave. Its à military term for when personnel do not show up when and where they are supposed to. Where is private scrotes? Idk hes AWOL. Its not spelled A-WALL and it does not mean going crazy or getting angry.
What an a**hole for not supporting his wife, dismissing the creepy experience that she had and then, for BLAMING her! This is typifies the ignorance towards women that makes this sh*t keep on happening. I hope she dumps his *ss to the curb!
You all realize if this is true they are jerking the other one's chain right? They are just trying to rile her up over the 60 yr old hitting her.
Jealousy is relationship poison. She will never be free unless she gets rid of this man.

They usually have confidence issues that run very deep. They tend to be extremely jealous, and attempt to control who their significant others spend time with.
Their personal insecurities lead to relationships that are very unhealthy because they’re built on a foundation of suspicion and paranoia.

Go to police. Give ex-wife everything she wants in the divorce settlement. Remain alone from now on; you deserve to be.
Anyone can tell you that if you take trust out of the equation, you’ve got a relationship that’s pretty much doomed to fail. It’s not really a relationship if you’re always accusing your partner of lying to you or being unfaithful.
In some of the situations presented in this list, there are a few ways to tackle the problems at their source. The first is to have an open and honest conversation with your significant other about their behavior.
Podcaster Says He Would Leave Her Wife If She 'Lets Herself' Go After Childbirth
"If my wife lets herself go after I have kids with her, I’m going to tell her once. If you don’t get your sh*t together, because I still want to be sexually attracted to my wife, my spouse, but if you can’t do that, I’m out’".
He should tell that louder and more often and put it on all his profiles everywhere so women know to avoid that shallow idiot who'll only date them for their bodies and ditch them as soon as things go tough or they might lose their looks for whatever reason. I mean, no one in their right minds would ever date this guy. What if she has an accident? What if she gets cancer? Or something else that'll disfigure her? Getting married is gor the good times AND the bad times. If your love for your spouse only goes skin deep, you're not relationship material. At best, you are a toy to have fun... if you're pretty enough. Or pay some coin. But otherwise, you're not worth the investment that having a relationship needs.

Explain your position. Tell them how you feel when they don’t trust you or talk down to you. Set some clear and healthy boundaries. Though, keep in mind, a single conversation won’t save your relationship—it’ll take time and effort for real change to happen.
If that doesn’t work, you may want to consider couples counseling. Having a neutral third party give you a helping hand can work wonders. However, not all relationships can—or should—be saved.

What separates ‘nice guys’ from everyone else is the lack of genuine confidence. These ‘nice guys’ have a victim mentality and lash out at the people around them when things don’t go their way.
Again, this isn’t gender-specific: anyone can be toxic, it’s not just guys who are jerks.

Married Niceguy™ Looking To Cheat After He Acts Like A Husband For A Night And It Didn't Get Him Laid
Am I the only one who is also concerned about the EYES of the human in the picture underneath that disgusting text?
A while ago, Bored Panda touched on the topic of building a genuine sense of confidence. A fitness expert explained to us that it all comes down to proving that “you’re not a victim.” He suggested focusing on small tasks and small victories at first.
According to the expert, helping others in need, taking care of your health, advancing in your career, and focusing on having a successful relationship are some of the things that will instill a sense of confidence.

“When you’re successful in one area you build confidence in yourself and that will translate to all of your life,” he said, earlier.
However, positive changes aren’t instant. They take time. The fitness expert noted that “your brain needs proof around your new identity."
"Confidence comes from repetition and mastery. The more you do ANYTHING, the more confident you become. The good news about this is everyone is capable of earning confidence," he explained.

"Responding to failure is all about the story we tell ourselves. Do you tell yourself that you are a failure? Or do you tell yourself you failed, have now gotten feedback, and know how to get better? It’s all our perspective," he pointed out that we control how we respond to criticism and feedback. Some run away from uncomfortable truths. Others use them to grow and become better people, for the sake of their loved ones.
Many men featured on the r/niceguys subreddit are prime examples of toxic masculinity: they have a misogynistic attitude that arises from distorted ideas of what they ‘should’ be like.
A psychotherapist explained to us some time ago that people like that tend to think that men should “never be ‘weak’ or ‘soft’” or vulnerable. People who embody the traits of toxic masculinity feel that they always need to be winners and they tend to look down on women, as well as their rights.

“A man with healthy masculinity is the opposite to these traits: someone who is self-reflective, embraces their emotions including sadness, anxiety and crying, a man who isn't afraid of their own femininity and believes that women are equal, and therefore are very clear about respecting boundaries and consent with women,” the psychotherapist told Bored Panda during an earlier interview.
He added that healthy masculinity allows men to feel comfortable with having their opinions challenged. They’re open-minded and willing to have debates because they’re not scared of being proven wrong.
