Furious Woman Decides To Uninvite The Male Members Of Her Family After They Bullied Her Fiancé
One of the pranks they pulled off was considered a crime.
Toxic masculinity is a problem that still pervades modern society. Men are expected to behave in a certain way, even if it means causing physical and mental harm to themselves and others.
This ultimately benefits no one and can lead to serious consequences. There are many reasons why toxic masculinity is harmful.
For one, it can lead to violence. Men who feel they must act tough and be in control often resort to physical violence to assert their dominance.
This can result in injuries or even death for both the men involved and any innocent bystanders. Toxic masculinity can also lead to mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Men are taught to bottle up their emotions and not show any weakness. This can lead to feelings of isolation and an inability to cope with stress or other negative experiences.
Unfortunately, a woman's fiancé experienced this kind of toxicity. The men in her family wanted to test his manliness.
To do so, they even went as far as hiding his inhaler (he has asthma). She shared her experience on Reddit and wondered if she was wrong for uninviting several family members after they bullied her husband-to-be.
Let's see how the community reacted.
Some background story about the redditor's family
Throwawayfamily976The men tried testing the fiancé's manliness through absurd questions and what they call "pranks."
Throwawayfamily976Anyone would lose it if their family did the same thing.

Even her mom is being unreasonable.

Pranks are meant to be harmless. But what the men did was far from it.

Every man is different. But the toxic men in the original poster's family refuse to see that.

How pranks are supposed to be

These men are the biggest jerks. They're considered criminals too.

What goes on in the minds of the "macho" family members.

They're the worst human beings if they're going to wait for things to worsen.

These guys obviously don't know what could potentially happen to people with asthma.
DarkElla30
These guys didn't even think about the consequences. All they care about is testing his manliness.

Involve the law so that they'll learn their lesson.

The woman's family jeopardized her fiancé's health. They probably need to face charges for that as well.

Redditors are completely on the original poster's side.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Maybe it's time to consider uninviting her mother as well.

It's like the guy went through fraternity hazing.

This redditor believes that the men deserve more than just being uninvited.
DiTrastevere
These men are indeed criminals.

Some redditors believe it's attempted murder.

Perhaps she needs bouncers for these unruly men.

It's pretty obvious who the a**holes are in this situation.
PikesPique
They'll probably only learn their lesson once there are serious consequences.

The men in the original poster's family are hands down the ones at fault here.
In most places, it is considered a misdemeanor when someone slashes tires. And the misdeeds of these men don't stop there.
For the sake of proving that the fiancé is man enough, they put him through a test that could cause a medical emergency. Clearly, these men haven't learned their lesson after being uninvited to the original poster's wedding.
We hope that the woman can protect her husband-to-be from the villainy of these ignorant men.
