oki but thats smart and evil and amazing advice EDIT: mom i'm famous
Bored Panda got in touch with the founder and admin of the “sounds toxic, but ok” Facebook group and she was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the group and her own thoughts on what actually constitutes downright toxic behavior. First and foremost, we were curious why the group was started in the first place.
“I created the group originally as an advice group for people to post and reach out anonymously to others for help!” she shared with Bored Panda. As of writing this article, it has over a million followers, so the demand for this content and advice is definitely there.
We were also curious to hear what she thought drew so many people to view this content, as it can be quite “caustic” for the soul. “I believe people are interested in relatable life stories, and posts, and seeing them put out in a humorous way allows people to laugh about past experiences/ relationships,” she shared.
Lastly, for such a “popular” word, it can be hard to pin down exactly what it means. So we wanted to hear how she defines being “toxic.” “As for what I define as toxic, I think that everyone has their own limits and barriers when it comes to dating or even personal relationships and you have to figure out what you want to allow. I think it’s also important to reach out to trusted loved ones in your circle if you are unsure if someone in your life is toxic.”
Either buy a suit for your wedding next week or get yourself out of that situation real fast.
Experts are similarly divided on what exactly makes a relationship toxic. There are a few easy answers, abuse, physical, verbal, or other is definitely as clear a sign to get out as you’ll ever get. But this can create a false dichotomy, where some think the absence of clear abuse means their relationship is fine, even though this is far from the truth. For example, somewhat hostile language, sarcasm, and frequent criticism are common predictors of divorces.
So he stole her card and money? Go straight to police, file report, contactt college about tuition being paid with stolen money, might get some back.
Yeah but how is she supposed to figure that out without a cipher? 🫤

"My wife and I [...]" Yeah, suuure. The wife was totally involved in this decision and just madly loved the idea for sure. She also supported her husband during his studies at clown college.
Don’t bring the clowns into this, nothing of this works with The Clown Code.

Just open the can silly woman. If it isn't what you want tip the contents on your husband's head!
She clearly needs permission and a location to access the can opener, too. We need to swing in and save her!

Enjoy your sausage and canned peaches english breakfast dude, and your baked bean raspberry pie.
Don't knock baked bean raspberry pie. Goes down sweet, cleans your pipes, comes out "fragrant."

Trust. Yes, totally. I hope that his very next posting is that she left him and lives a happy life. Independent and happy. My husband keeps asking where things are and depends on me knowing the answer even if he put it away. But that is not a creepy fake 'trust game' like above, he is just lazy to look for himself.
If I wanted peaches, I would open can after can until I found them. I'd throw the others in trash out of spite. Wasteful? Sure, but war always has casualties.
No, no don't trash them. Mix 'em all together & serve it to Mr Depend On Me for dinner.

She should watch Sleeping with the Enemy - this is her future.
For a moment, I forgot what's the topic of the article and thought that they removed one label and the secret code is "when I come ask you about the can, ..." (the guests should leave or something). I thought it was brilliant! Until I reread the whole thing :(
I mean I thought it was a fun game to use up a surplus of no perishables or something where they both took turns, but nope, HE gets the master list, SHE has to trust the sociopath every time she wants to just eat some f*****g peaches.

Give her a minute, and she'll come up with quite a few trust exercises for you to prove yourself to her...then she'll leave your weird a*s
"I put a foreign substance in one of your dishes tonight. There's one coffee that tells you what it is. Then another coffee to tell you what it's in. Huh? Oh no, I didn't keep the codes! I don't even know myself since I mixed it in without looking. See, sweetie, this will help you learn to trust me! Yay for relationship building exorcises!" "Um... you mean exercises?" "Yes of course! That's what I said. Exercises. Go on, eat up."

He is so insecure in his own value and usefulnes .and so clueless on how to do to be a good man in a relationship - so he choses to be labels instead
If you want trust exercises, try bondage or s/m play in the bedroom. Leave normal life normal. You both will be happier.
No way I'm trusting a man who wants to control what and when I eat with bondage.

this is like the guy who boasted that he removed all the clocks in the house and he has the only watch. So now his wife has to come ask him whenever she needs to know the time.
That's not trust and independence,,, sounds more like complete control
Ah, the D.E.N.N.I.S system. I see he's on 'N' - Nurture dependence. dennis-sys...b5d71d.jpg 
Tell me you have a narcissistic personality disorder without telling me you have a narcissistic personality disorder.
Congrats on taking away her last shred of independence, a-hole. Does she also have to ask to use the bathroom? Does she have a chain on her ankle? Dependence does not equal love. She's trapped
You creepy, screwed-up loser - you better watch your back 'cause your wife is gonna get fed up with your twisted s**t.
? Just open the can and use whatever it is. Corn and beans? Chili mac. Peaches and peas?
I'd take the labels off his meds. Okay, you're having a heart attack. This one is nitro, this one is cyanide. Choose carefully.
Why would ANYONE publicly brag about making someone more dependent on them? Talk about saying the quiet part out loud
Speaking of canned food- if you are saving up for the apocalypse, they do NOT Keep for decades as portrayed on shows like The Walking Dead. They don't even keep for a year past expiration. I opened a can of gravy because I was out of the kind I usually use and it expired last year... worst thing I EVER tasted. Horrible tinny taste on top of what it was supposed to taste like. Tasted like rust. And this is the strangest thing I've ever read- basically your girlfriend has to ask you what she can eat.
That is so problematic. At least her posted this so the world can see the abuse front and centre.
More often than not, toxic behavior is masked through some indicators of love and protection. A controlling partner will frame their actions and demands through the lens of “it’s better for you.” Of course, setting aside any sort of protective language, it also indicates that they have no trust in your own abilities, which should make you question why they date you in the first place.
Her ex should bait her into sending him expensive stuff, like ‘bet your new boyfriend can’t even afford a decent watch’ and wait for the rolex to arrive. :p
You say you didnt think about that, and or that they make sence , or that you didnt use your whole brain, and now that u are you can see your misunderstanding.
Not to play the devil's advocate, but some toxic partners don’t exactly know any better. Humans mimic the social behavior they have seen. Psychologists have found that people who encounter positive relationships in childhood, for example, a successful marriage, are less likely to exhibit negative and toxic behavior later in life.
I mean, to be fair thats a lot of things they gave you! You should be more grateful! /s
While from the outside, it might seem easy to “just” avoid getting involved with the sort of person you can see here, it’s important to remember that most people are somewhat adept at hiding their most toxic traits until it’s too late. Plus, once you are interested or even in love with someone, you tend to overlook things you really shouldn’t.
i guess you can still ask what they provide in a relationship once you start dating. you probably pursue someone based on something like looks or a few conversations. a relationship is different and you hope someone is more than just that one thing that attracted you inthhe first place.
A casual glance through these examples show people who range from insecure to keen on fighting for the sack of fighting. While drama can spice up someone’s day a bit, it’s not controversial to say that most people have a limit for drama. Constantly wondering if your partner hates you, is judging you or something they are doing is a test is a recipe for a short and unhappy relationship.
The fights might not even be easily identifiable as a fight. Toxic partners love to gaslight, meaning that they will attempt to convince you about what you think and don’t think. Ultimately, it’s all at the service of maintaining power. An unceasing demand for power is often a sign of deep insecurity, which has all sorts of horrible ways to make someone unpleasant to be around.
False analogies are like boiled bacon metaphorically speaking.
The bottom line, if something is really starting to make you unhappy and your partner seems indifferent to it, it won’t magically fix itself and you need to leave.

Does she really not know? As in, wasn’t curious about the fishing buddies her man was meeting?
She is right though. She is not looking for a boyfriend. What she is looking for is called call boy.
