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.

Genetics is weird, though. Sometimes genes from generations back are expressed in a child. I'd get a DNA test before making any decisions.
Yep. Skin and eye color are determined by melanin, and the amount or type of melanin is controlled by about a dozen different genes. It's entirely possible that each parent has mixed ancestry, and that ancestry was expressed in their child's skin color. There are documented cases of two dark-skinned parents having a lighter-skinned child, and of a dark-skinned parent and a light-skinned parent having twins where each child has a different skin tone. I do hope the man gets a paternity test, because it IS possible, but I imagine that his wife may have told him about her infidelity, which is why he seems very sure that he is not the baby's father. However, as you said, genetics are weird :)

Um, fact: pigmentation requires mature expression of melanin. It is very, very common for babies to not properly express melanin, so black babies can look several shades lighter (and potentially white) when born. Hope this idiot actually got a DNA test.
Well, as Lakota Wolf said, the wife may have told him of her infedelity and didn't have any need to take a DNA test. Although it is understandable that you think the baby may just look several shades lighter, you didn't have to call them an idiot.

How are you guys making this about skin color. Everyone knows most babies with dark skin come out looking pretty light, at first. Seems this guy has been raising the kid for a while, and something came up. I don’t think anybody is as stupid as you people think they are. Seriously.
Processing this s**t online in public view is so unhealthy.and that fake a*s humble game is embarrassing as hell
I agree. This probably should have been handled privately instead of on blast on social media.

"That kid could totally be the kids father." That made it sound like the baby is his own dad lol.

Has he actually taken a paternity test, or is this just based on thinking the baby doesn't look enough like him? (Too pale perhaps?) Because if it's the first, yes she's aweful and he is handling it really well. If it's the second he is the biggest jerk in the world.
I think the fact that he says he was "...there since day 1..." indicates that he's been raising the baby for quite some time and that this post was not written on the actual day of the birth. It appears that this has nothing to do with the baby's skin color and that he found out later, through a DNA test or because the mother told him.
I hurt for him and for his family. They all love that baby. How cruel.
I honestly wish I'd had the guts to tell my BIL he's not my niece's father. Pretty sure he was somewhat aware, but he is a pro level reality denier. My sister cheated on him ON THEIR HONEYMOON. She outright told my the kid could be from one of THREE men other than her husband. One is the best friend of my stepfather, who is my bet based on my niece's eye color. Needless to say I don't speak to this sister anymore. She's a horrible & toxic human being.
What an awesome human being this real dad IS! He may not be the biological father and I understand if he steps aside, why shouldn't he? But what a beautiful person for such a loving note. I hope you find the right person, sir, and that you and your family live in happiness.
Airing out your dirty laundry on social media isn't strong or good. It's passive-aggressive covert narcissism in attempt to publicly shame another while bloviating his own superiority. Really, there wasn't enough substantiated information to support either side.

Was this post done after a DNA test or did you jump the gun? It takes time for pigment to form.
Bless his heart! He know the kid is innocent and how his reaction would affect the kids life in the future. Stories like this restores faith in humanity...
Sad that a father that is willing and able to take care of his, isn’t the biological
It's not sad, it's wonderful for the child. It's not quite the same thing as OP's situation, but I'm adopted. My adopted dad was the BEST dad. My parents had a biological child together before they adopted me, and my dad NEVER treated me any different from my older sister. I was 100% his daughter. Good dads are heroes to their kids, no matter their biological (or lack thereof) connection.

Just as bad as all the men who irresponsibly impregnate women and then F off to another state to work under the table so they don't have to pay child support.
Anyone that can look at that nose and think that is a caucasian baby needs to have their head checked. Unless this comes paired with a DNA test, this man is just whining for attention.

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.

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.
