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 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.

sharbinbarbin Report

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.

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.

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.

Males who have these misogynistic attitudes against women are 1- are not the real men they think they are. 2 - have no business having kids nor getting married. 3 - need to grow up and take some courses about women and how our bodies REALLY work. 4 - needs to have a reality check about real relationships.

These are also the men who are panicking that women are choosing to be single rather than get into relationships with their loser asses. You can see them ranting all over the internet about "cat ladies" and "you need to lower your standards" and women are just like "lol, no thanks".

And what is he going to look like a few years down the road? Men gaining "baby weight" is a real thing. Will he get whipped back into shape? What if he starts losing his hair? Just sitting around podcasting is not something that will make you in great shape. I don't see this guy keeping a relationship with anybody for very long. Or he's just posturing for the audience.

Okay Pandas, I did a little sleuthing about these morons and it turns out none of them are married. Not that this makes the remarks better but they were speaking about a hypothetical future wife. It was from a podcast last January, one month after they launched their channel, and obviously went viral. So I'm assuming they were being deliberately inflammatory for the sake of views/clicks. And it worked because more than 80 reaction videos were made about it. Why? Because the boys turned off the comments on all their socials due to the backlash. Which is weird because aren't they all about having their shït together?

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.

If your partner is physically or emotionally abusing you, reach out to a counselor or an organization for advice specific to your situation. These professionals can support you as you consider what to do next. There is no excuse for abuse.

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.

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.

"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.

reddit.com Report

Note: this post originally had 53 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.

“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.
