Husband Gifts His Wife A Book On Self-Help Written By A Misogynist Right-Wing Author

Relationships and marriages are tough, even when partners share identical views on life. When they don’t, it can get messy.

After the initial infatuation starts to fade, true love and devotion begin to take their place. But when partners don’t share the same ideals, it is hard for a bond to be created.

Some people pretend at the beginning of relationships, and it is hard to see through them. But no one can act forever, and they eventually show their true selves.

Unfortunately, by that time, their partners are already heavily invested in the relationships, have kids with them, etc. Knowing that their partner is tied to them makes them even more powerful, and they start revealing more and more of their true nature with every action.

One Reddit user shared a story about a Christmas gift. It was from her husband, and she found it to be appalling and deeply disturbing.

Well, it happens – husbands are often lousy at gift shopping. But this was no simple mistake. And no, it wasn’t a kitchen appliance.

You are probably wondering what could be worse than that. A weight scale? No.

Read on, and you will find out…

OP asks:

Reddit

She found a package by accident, and it turned out to be a Christmas gift her husband ordered for her.

Reddit

It is a book on self-help written by a misogynist right-wing author.

Reddit

And she can't believe her husband could do something like that. It is not something you would want to receive as a gift, especially from your partner.

Reddit

OP also shared some additional info:

Reddit

The husband tried to make it right by getting some new gifts. But the damage was already done.

Reddit

Also, he still can't understand why she is so upset.

Reddit

OP also gave more information about her emotional state.

Reddit

And clarified that her views on the author of the book were based on good research.

Reddit

Redditors immediately recognized the author:

Hard to disagree...

People were mostly shocked by the message that the gift was sending:

Reddit

This book will fix ya, honey...

Reddit

Fighting fire with fire...

Other similar suggestions came...

That's why he is ex

Reddit

How can a father want his daughter to be a submissive and quiet wife?

Reddit

Some people think that there are bigger problems in this marriage.

Reddit

Obviously...

Reddit

This is an excellent question

And her answer raised new questions:

Reddit

Good point

Reddit

Doesn't sound promising at all...

Reddit

Some Redditors made a good point. He was loving and caring while she was going through a difficult divorce, and after he got under her skin and gained her trust, he started to show his true face.

There is much more here than a simple Christmas gift. He is basically telling his wife how he expects her to behave.

And the book is by a right-wing author, so we can only imagine what roles he had envisioned for women. We hope things will work out for this couple, and we hope the OP will never read that book.

Unfortunately, men will…
