In the main, I find today’s crop of whining women to be the most self-involved and selfish bunch of twits.
And yes, picking apart your spouse for the amusement of others, striping him of humanity and holding him up for all to ridicule is the basest betrayal.

About 15 years ago I discovered that if I raise my husband up and proclaim him at the gates as wonderful he is. It gives me great joy to let the world know how wonderful Mr. Mercat is. Too bad for him we had already been married over 30 years but better late than never.
I have another take on this. Told to me by a wise older woman, in fact.
Dissing your man to other women lessens the likelihood one of them will try to poach him.
I don’t consider it whining. They’re all fricken drama queens.
When hubby and I got married he was already an established firefighter and also ran a hotshot crew. I knew the house, the kid, and everything that included would be mine to take care of. He was gone for weeks at a time. Was kind of like being a single parent except every once in awhile he’d come home for a few days to rest and get ready to go to work again. Lol
I’ve talked to some of the newer younger firefighters wives and they all gripe about their hubby’s being gone and how much they have to do while he’s gone. I just shake my head. I once called one of the stations and asked if someone would come mow my yard since hubby had been gone. They sent one of the new guys over. I didn’t tell them that I always mowed it and had worked longer shifts that week and just didn’t feel like doing it. Lol. I hired a gardener after that. I’ve done plumbing, mowed yards, and worked on the air conditioner. These gals now are such wusses.
Agreed.
The worst thing that I can think of to say about my beautiful wife is that I wish she’d pick up after herself better. And.... Truth be told, she’d almost certainly say the same about me.
Otherwise, I love her more than the day we met, and am thankful for the time I have with her.
If these husband bashing harpies are so unhappy, they should spend more time improving their relationship and less time working to destroy it.
This insanity is based on a key falsehood:
“Homemaking is a non-skilled job, not a career opportunity and any idiot could do it.”
I reared and supported 3 children alone because my ex-husband was neither able nor willing to provide for us. The few years I was a full-time homemaker were the best of my life and I never belittled him to my friends. When they complained about their husbands, they always acknowledged that my husband was not like that and never expected me to belittle him.
Homemaking and child-rearing was the most important, challenging and rewarding job I ever had. It just didn’t generate cash flow for the government to tax.
Providing for a family requires very different skills and a very different mindset. I know because I’ve done that too. Trust me, my homemaking went down the toilet when I had to be a full-time provider.
It takes a very strong and narrow focus to maintain a well-paying career whether you’re a plumber, mechanic, doctor, computer programmer or executive.
How many of the women who belittle their husbands could do their husbands’ jobs? Why do they expect their husbands to be able to do theirs?
Because they think their job is a job for idiots and they are desperate to look down on someone else. It actually starts with women’s contempt for themselves.
The whole feminist movement is predicated on the principle that homemaking is an inferior position. That great lie that has nearly destroyed our culture.
If homemaking were so inferior, trust me, the government would not want that job, and the lust for power starts with the lust to control children and their upbringing.
My deepest sympathies for the useful idiots who betray their husbands, their children and themselves.
I just got rid of spouse pretty much just like the one you described. Theyll never find the body. Hehe. But seriously, I’m
broke, alone and considerably more happy than I have been for quite some time.

And what do you call this? I call it the same thing you just accused women of being.
I've seen terrible spouses of both sexes. Lazy husbands, abusive wives. Why people stay in those relationships is beyond me.
As if this is new. As if the founding mothers didn’t hear from their social circles about the ne’er do well husbands among them.
Husbands and wives have been complaining to their friends about their spouses for time immemorial. This ain’t new.
