30 Stories Of People Who Got What They Deserved After Complaining About Their Partners' Hard Work

Have you ever experienced being with a person who thinks you should always do things their way? How did you deal with it?

Being with this type of person is hard and probably stressful, especially if you are married to one. Marriage alone is already a challenging commitment; how much more difficult is it if you have a partner who disapproves of everything you do unless it is done according to their preferences?

In order to make a marriage successful, people often make adjustments to understand and handle their partner's personality, behavior, and attitudes, which aren't always positive. However, it cannot be denied that every person has a different level of patience when it comes to putting up with their partner's worst side.

Sharing her marriage experience, a Redditor named Millie Barnes made a post in the subreddit community r/MaliciousCompliance. In her post, she revealed how she dealt with her ex-husband's ridiculous demand that she cook something she had never even tried before, leading her to leave him a year and a half later.

To her surprise, her post gained 18.5K likes and 1.4K comments, showing that many people in the community had experienced similar situations in their married lives. Scroll down to read her full post and the top comments from Redditors describing their experiences of malicious compliance in marriage.
