Holy shit, I assumed it was an impulsive murder (not that that is good). But doing that to her? What a total piece of shit.
Good men like you who make domestic abuse ending in murder into a pity party about your loneliness?
This is a weird place to show incel behaviour my dude, this isn't about you.
What are you talking about?
You're blaming her for being murdered by saying she should have married a "good man".
That's pure unadulterated incel shit.
Blame the killer, and the police who enabled him, not the victim.
Are you okay? Where's your carer?
I'm fine. What's your point?
I’m truly disturbed by this having as many likes as it does.
All y’all lil incels need to go to therapy.
The comment has been removed now. What did it say?
It was incel nonsense blaming the murdered woman for not picking a nice guy and complaining about nice guys being lonely. You missed nothing by not being able to read it.
Thanks
Seriously, that shit helps a lot. Just having a knowledgeable party that's kind of able to help calibrate and understand your own responses is very cathartic.
-144?
Edit: I made a snarky comment, but I think you would be better served looking up why abusive relationships are so complicated. It's more than women picking shitty guys, there are layers of manipulative behavior and the creation of a constant state of dependence and fear. Oftentimes, you don't realize how shitty someone is until you are deep into the relationship, sometimes you don't realize it all.
This is not simple women picking shitty men, there is so much more going on here and you shouldn't distill it down to something so simple
It's the men who complain about women picking bad guys who are the guys who mask their controlling behavior in "niceness."
That's what got me. I thought he was a good guy, but he was just an MRA idiot.
Wow. Way to victim blame the woman for marrying someone she assumed wouldn't kill her. Like WTF is this incel logic? You're not a good man killing yourself out of loneliness. You're a douche bag who doesn't see WHY they're alone.
If she wasn't attractive, he wouldn't have even bothered responding.
Holy. Shit.
I've no words!
It could be viewed more accurately as 'never underestimate the power that emotional abuse and manipulation can have on a vulnerable person'. You're not wrong exactly but I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. To me it makes it sound like you're saying she should have known better than to let herself get murdered.
Hey look kids, it's a fucking moron.
I'll take "Things only pathetic, misogynistic incels would think" for $600.
