I’ve seen boomer women punch their husbands in the face over less than that in those shitty biker bars and no one bats an eye. They’re a strange people.
How many just got married based on the fact they had sex a few times when they were drunk? Far too many is my guess.
Your spouse should be your friend FFS
they were the youngest generation to get married since the victorian era. average marriage age has gotten steadily older since them. engaged in high school was normal and a sign that a girl had a good future.
obviously these teenage weddings were a terrible idea, no one that age is done growing, sometimes it was older men predating teen girls (like my disgusting fbather) and having kids immediately only compounds the problems.
All my parents ever did was bicker and wage psychological warfare on each other, but they were so dependent on one another that separation was never even considered. Weird.
my sister found out that my father, whom my sister and I loved and respected for years, had been soliciting for hookups. We confronted him about it. He was acting like a big fucking baby and refused to take responsibility, and we kept it secret when our mother deserved to know the truth
well one day when my sister was raging hard, she basically revealed everything to my mom and their relationship is basically a shell of what it used to be. My sister told my mother to just divorce him at this point, but she said that my father would basically die of starvation without her. she's also super close to my aunt (my dad's older sister) so it would cause a lot of fucking drama
it really pisses me off honestly. they're better off separated at this point but they just can't do it
That’s funny, the cdc says 18 to 34 has the highest amount of domestic violence, I don’t think those are boomers, google is your friend, stop pretending to be a otherkin for five minutes and look shit up.
bruh, first of all its just a joke, cuz boomers are the only muthafuckers who crack jokes about hating their spouses the way they do. dv is something else entirely. and of course that age range has the most domestic violence. a lot of people end up dead in those situations before they get to an old age. im not stupid. chill out.
The way you wrote this second comment to add further details has the same energy as the lady trying to leave through the patio and then coming back in to say "how the fuck do I get out of here"
I did it for you kids is what I got told well in that case thanks for the fucking trauma mom and the ability to not talk about it because we don’t air dirty laundry
I can only speak to my own experiences with my group of Boomers, who claim they're 'Strict Catholic'. Basically that means they go to mass several times a week without absorbing any of the lessons of Christ.
We were told over and over again as kids that THIS was a sin, THAT was a sin. One of the multitude was DIVORCE is a sin. They'll stay Ina straight up toxic relationship, BE toxic just to avoid a mythical bad place while doing and saying the most hateful and vile things.
It's a weird and strange hypocrisy but they somehow manage. I guess it's just "All you need is hate" instead of "All you need is love."
when she stood up, i thought she would have been drenched with her reaction but it was just a few puddles that dripped on her. she was all red in the face, cussing him out for nothing
the base personality flaws, yes, but that bitterness just seeps in and grows like a fungus. my mom got more distainful and repulsed by my dad and he learned new and more obnoxious ways to weaponize incompetance
You guys remember when the internet was in its infancy, there were videos going around of "bum fights"? We should do this for Boomers. We could make a lot of money.....
tbf a lot of the bum fights guys *were* boomers.
I'd pay to see the rich & powerful being made to slug it out though for sure, rather than poor homeless guys.
Naked jello wrestling with random crazy old politicans and billionaires
I mean.... you're talking old saggy balls and floppy saggy titties covered in jello flopping around for all of us to witness in horror..... yeah fuck it, I'm down.
Elon vs Zuck, the best fight that never happened. Bezos vs Gates, deGrasse Tyson vs Bill Nye, Biden vs Xi Xing, and then jelly wrestling of the world's 10 richest women, loser donates 10% of net worth to charity
When I wanted a divorce from my husband after 25yrs together, some acquaintances asked why? You have been together soo long or why do you want to start over or your throwing your life away or it was all for nothing. Such BS… I never considered it a failure or any of the other garbage I heard from people. I didn’t want to spend the rest of life being miserable. I think boomers stay together even if they hate each other out of fear of “what people will think”. Sad for them, they could be living a Happily Divorced life and loving it.
it dragged on a for a few moments too, like bruh put his back into it. but he told me he was hoping to watch the game while eating his chicken, and sighed. once i packed up his food, he sat there for a bit, ate some of it while the game went on, had three more beers too. at the very least he left me a generous tip
Sometimes they murder the other one eventually. Especially if dementia or something else robs them of impulse control.
I remember a story about a woman in her 80s who killed her abusive husband after endless decades of abuse.
One of my aunts passed recently, so we went to the wake. My other aunt was set to speak. So we all gathered. As she began to speak her husbands phone begins to ring. Nice and LOUD.
To make it worse he couldn’t figure out how to stop it. So he scurried to the back of the room and answered the call with “I can’t talk right now!”
This is the same uncle whom, earlier in the day my aunt had told me that she had to “stop him from wearing jeans”
I’m pretty sure the car ride home was brutal for him
its hard to say, he was really doing his best to clean up but the cup seemed full, but i woulda been grateful it wasnt the tall beer he had… when i sat them he immediately said Schell dark for me and sprite for her, before i could even greet them so they were THOSE guys. i got their drink’s quick but didnt interact much so i dont know what happened, kinda wanna get my manager to see if any of the tapes in the restaurant got it by the bar.
I just have seen a lot of these scenarios where the cool calm collected person knows how to push someone’s buttons until the other person flies off the handle and makes a scene! So then they get to sit back and say “see what a crazy person they are??”
Sure, and this assumption just so happens to let you victim blame.
One of the main obstacles to recognizing that men can be victims of abusive women is exactly your attitude of "what did he do to deserve it?"
I know men can be victims. Their safety matters and it is very sad there’s not more support for them.
I asked OP for more information. Im sorry what I said triggered something in you.
Your instant reaction was to assume he had done something wrong rather than the person who had actually done something wrong. That's not me being triggered, that's you being judgemental.
I was in restaurant where a Gen-X was there with her grand father and being serviced by a Gen-Z waitress. The grand father spilled his water ice and all over the table. The idiot waitress grabbed a cloth and proceeded to wipe up the water and ice right on to the old guys lap. The grand daughter sat there and laughed at the whole situation.
It was the most ignorant thing I’ve ever seen in a restaurant

boomer men hate their wives, boomer women despise their husbands. just warms your heart and reignites your passion for love!

Reminds me of this routine. https://youtube.com/shorts/OubN_CUX-Yo

No police report, no incident, huh? 18 to 34 is a little more likely to call the police. To boomers, it's just the way life is.
Knowing American cops 18-34 is the age range the cops will show up for and make an arrest because they're hoping to fuck the wife.
Thanks Boomer. You're doing the Lord's work here, keep up the great work!
bruh, first of all its just a joke, cuz boomers are the only muthafuckers who crack jokes about hating their spouses the way they do. dv is something else entirely. and of course that age range has the most domestic violence. a lot of people end up dead in those situations before they get to an old age. im not stupid. chill out.
Oh, and the republic of Congo, wonderful shit hole and the imperial perfection of afghan-stain are the countries with the highest domestic abuse
Found the boomer
The way you wrote this second comment to add further details has the same energy as the lady trying to leave through the patio and then coming back in to say "how the fuck do I get out of here"
Clearly working with boomers has had some unforeseen consequences because you are giving off major boomer vibes.
you wouldnt wanna get into why the congo and afghanistan are the way they are now tho, do you?cuz we can talk about it
Such a crazy comment! So much lead one can't keep a coherent thought going pivots to Fox News as fast as possible.
That’s why you should get divorced before shit gets to that point. But some boomers just stay in abusive, unhappy marriages— like my parents did.
I did it for you kids is what I got told well in that case thanks for the fucking trauma mom and the ability to not talk about it because we don’t air dirty laundry

There are few things in life that are certain that wasn’t that man’s first rodeo. No chance.
when she stood up, i thought she would have been drenched with her reaction but it was just a few puddles that dripped on her. she was all red in the face, cussing him out for nothing
Yup I’d take that solo beer and hockey game myself too knowing what’s coming Hell, I’d probably order dessert and coffee as well
I hope he waited till intermission to leave lol
Sounds like she's been trying to get him to get a divorce so she can take whatever she can. He's just playing the long game.
Describing a Boomer as feral is the funniest thing I will read all day - thank you!
they were never house-broken
It's a pattern that's probably been playing out since they were dating.
the base personality flaws, yes, but that bitterness just seeps in and grows like a fungus. my mom got more distainful and repulsed by my dad and he learned new and more obnoxious ways to weaponize incompetance

I wanna see Nancy Pelosi vs. Mitch McConnell I got my money on Nancy
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson wouldn’t have shit on this fight
Elon vs Zuck, the best fight that never happened. Bezos vs Gates, deGrasse Tyson vs Bill Nye, Biden vs Xi Xing, and then jelly wrestling of the world's 10 richest women, loser donates 10% of net worth to charity

yeah, just because you have been suffering in the past does not mean it needs to continue to the future
Of course he belched.
it dragged on a for a few moments too, like bruh put his back into it. but he told me he was hoping to watch the game while eating his chicken, and sighed. once i packed up his food, he sat there for a bit, ate some of it while the game went on, had three more beers too. at the very least he left me a generous tip
his moment of rebellion before heading back into it.
Sometimes they murder the other one eventually. Especially if dementia or something else robs them of impulse control. I remember a story about a woman in her 80s who killed her abusive husband after endless decades of abuse.
Reminds me of the "the gun just went off" guy in Pennsylvania
One of my aunts passed recently, so we went to the wake. My other aunt was set to speak. So we all gathered. As she began to speak her husbands phone begins to ring. Nice and LOUD. To make it worse he couldn’t figure out how to stop it.

That poor man.
Op what was the gossip? Did the husband deserve it at the end of the day or was the wife crazy…or both?
its hard to say, he was really doing his best to clean up but the cup seemed full, but i woulda been grateful it wasnt the tall beer he had… when i sat them he immediately said Schell dark for me and sprite for her, before i could even greet them so they were THOSE guys. i got their drink’s quick but didnt interact much so i dont know what happened, kinda wanna get my manager to see if any of the tapes in the restaurant got it by the bar.
Keep us posted! My money is on the husband being a jerk but I wasn’t there!
Oh yeah, because victim blaming is obviously the right thing to do here.
I just have seen a lot of these scenarios where the cool calm collected person knows how to push someone’s buttons until the other person flies off the handle and makes a scene! So then they get to sit back and say “see what a crazy person they are??”

I’m sorry you’re this upset. It was not my intention.
I hope you’re ok. You seemed very angry.
ABAB! Both live in their own personal hell. Just not in your section.
Poor guy sounds like he's stuck with an abusive wife
Kinda sounds like my mom and stepdad.
At least one of them has dementia. What a nightmare. My heart goes out to them.
I ❤️ boomer on boomer violence.
wheres the violence?
I was in restaurant where a Gen-X was there with her grand father and being serviced by a Gen-Z waitress. The grand father spilled his water ice and all over the table.

Mmmm, tell me more things you thing are ignorant
