That’s It, We’re Couple Shaming

Posted by M. Kroll

Oh, look, another friend is updating their relationship status. Hooray, this new comedy is actually a rom-com! Woah, there’s a love interest for every single secondary character in this new show. We get it, being in a relationship can be fun. Just because finding true love sounds nice doesn’t always mean it is. Some people are so blinded by love, or driven to find someone to live with, that they don’t realize there’s a sea of red flags. Some of them don’t even start flying until the two peeps get together! Not every couple needs to stay together. Nearly none of them should be posting about their other person online, whether it’s for attention or not.

The only thing every couple in this list has in common is that they all deserved to be shamed for being in a league of their weirdness. Join us for this wild ride!

Mom And Dad Are Fighting Online

Facebook is like a digital open-faced diary. That’s probably the best way to look at it. People, for whatever reason, as soon as they get online, are willing to air out all their dirty laundry. They don’t care who sees it. If anything, the attention makes the fight even more worth it. Look at these two geniuses if you need proof. 

Reddit by u/AbortiveBases1

Instead of throwing a pity party for himself, or taking his girlfriend out, decided to pick a fight. A lover’s quarrel breaks out in the Facebook comments! Why? Because screaming out on the sidewalk wouldn’t get enough views and “likes”. Now nobody gets to go to the movies! 

Some Thrills Don’t Need Seeking

Every marriage experiences a slow patch. That’s the price of devoting your life to one other person. Sometimes, to spice things back up, a couple may try some new things in bed. Maybe they won’t even need a bed for a while! Whatever you want to try, have fun. Just don’t involve other people that don’t know what’s going on. 

Reddit by u/ah_kooky_kat

Even more so, don’t involve the local or national media in your kinky nonsense. If you’re going to have sex on a Ferris wheel, make sure it’s one in your own home. If you have to be around other people to do it, make other plans. 

No Person Is Worth This

Tattoos can be cool, beautiful, inspirational, and awesome. They can also be costly and permanent mistakes that should have been thought through a bit more. While some people are willing to forgive their partners for cheating, some are better off just letting them go. The cost of staying together is just sometimes too steep to make everyone happy, or at least “even”. 

Reddit

Writing an apology letter for whatever it is you did to mess up is a nice start. Having it written with a needle and ink on your skin is a place you should never start or finish at. Dude, you better love her more than life itself. That looks beyond terrible and over-the-top. You’re never going to be able to go shirtless anywhere again.

There Are A Lot Of Feelings Here

Some social media rants read like epic sagas. They have twists, turns, peaks, valleys, and all sorts of cliffhangers. This is one of them. In the post(ish)-Pandemic world, people are still a bit wary of getting others sick. It’s completely understandable to want to be safe after traveling so as not to pass anything to your spouse. Even with the best of intentions, some people will still see the bad in a kind gesture. 

Reddit by u/Chopsuiiisauce

The US suffered a devastating setback in reproductive rights when abortions began to be made illegal. The news was shocking and nobody saw it coming. While everyone has reason to be upset, taking it out on your loved one like this is a bit childish.

Good Luck With All That

Not everyone is destined to become a parent. In fact, with how expensive it is to raise ourselves, without any babies, we couldn’t imagine bringing someone else under our roof. Some people though are dead-set on becoming parents to large families. Great, if you can take care of everyone and give them everything they need, have at it. The issue is, some of these people consider themselves “elite”.

Reddit by u/kabukistar

If anyone needs a reminder, eugenics is terrible and is illegal in a variety of places because it’s thinly veiled racism. Wearing glasses and living in Silicon Valley doesn’t mean you’re not terrible and aren’t above anyone else. These people need to stop. This is not the reason to bring a baby, or tens of many, into the world.

So People Are Just Torturing Spouses Now?

There’s a huge difference between being edgy and cool and being idiots. It’s a fine line, but not many seem to notice it as they cross over into “weird couple” territory. When celebrities get together, they’re destined to make the pairing a marketing opportunity or a firecracker of headlines that lasts until someone’s next big project comes out. Megan Fox’s love life is nobody’s business. When she and her fiance started doing things, like reporting on their blood-drinking engagement rings, it became people’s business.

Reddit by u/JadD9699

Machine Gun Kelly is no stranger to making the news. It was almost a benign topic when people started talking about the fact that the engagement ring he gave Megan Fox had internal thorns! According to Kelly, the ring would cut and hurt Fox if she ever attempted to remove the ring. That doesn’t sound like a healthy thing to give someone you love.

Wifey Has Some Weird Expectations

Balancing time in a relationship for your partner and just for yourself can be tough. If you do not give your wife enough time, she may feel neglected. If you’re neglecting your wife, you’re eventually going to have to neglect your hobbies for a while, too. That being said, this guy must have been in a committed relationship with his PS5, because this is ridiculous. 

Reddit by u/weeb385

Why can’t you use the Internet when playing? That sounds very specific and oddly restrictive. At least he gets to play however long he wants to on Sunday. The threat at the end, about selling it at the pawn store, is the most alarming. Why that specific store? 

Emotional Mind Games Are Abuse

This is gross. Don’t play mind games with people. If you know your partner suffers from anxiety and a lack of self confidence, don’t exacerbate that by acting like trash. Nobody should be doing this to their partner to begin with! A relationship isn’t a game to see who can screw with the other person’s mind the worst. 

Reddit by u/ParanoidPlum

Also, to make things even more ridiculous, they go and post about it? Are there weird little social media groups dedicated to laughing about mentally torturing people? Just watch a horror movie or something for  goodness’ sake. There’s no need to act like a Hollywood villain just for kicks.

He’s Mad and Apologetic?

Feelings of distrust can completely derail an otherwise healthy relationship. Whether someone occurred in the past, or one partner had been hurt before, a little suspicion can ruin everything. Even when nobody has anything to hide, having your phone hone through is an invasion of privacy. It feels gross and it shows that, even if you’re innocent, your loved one doesn’t believe you enough to trust you. 

Reddit by u/harmacist2525

That, or, this person going through the guy’s phone is a sociopath that has him wrapped around their finger. It kind of sounds like that, because he’s acting extremely remorseful for someone who did nothing wrong. Those emojis don’t make any sense either. 

Love At First Bank Statement

We’re starting this off by saying this is more of a business relationship than it is a romantic one. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with an age gap between adults in a partnership. There’s absolutely something wrong with a teenager hooking up with a near-octogenarian billionaire. If you’re going to play this game, call it for what it is. 

Reddit by u/Dhyan_95

Was it love at first sight or love at first proof of the executor of the estate? She looks happy. Maybe she is. He surely is! If both of them are, who are we to jud-no. We’re judging. Someone is being taken advantage of here. We’re pretty sure we know who, but we can’t be 100%.

What A Stupid Reason to be Arrested

There may be a million dumb ways to die, but there are a billion stupid reasons to be arrested. Poisoning your entire town’s water supply for a gender reveal party has got to be in the top ten. Just because you’re having a boy, and used blue dye, doesn’t make this any better. Making it bluer just makes people more sick. 

Reddit

How stupid do you have to be to do something so selfish and not realize it would have tremendous consequences? This kid is going to be helping you pay off this debt once they’re old enough, because this doesn’t look like a cheap ticket or fine. Maybe, if they’re having twins, they’ll get a double-fine just for fun.

What’s Up This Guy’s Butt?

Quick, if you’re in public, look around. Now, tell us what type of underwear everyone is wearing (please don’t). The point we’re making is, in most places and situations, nobody knows what anyone else has on, or off, under their clothes. That’s why underwear is worn under things. It doesn’t matter, nor does anyone care, what type of underwear you’re sporting today. 

Reddit by u/flightlessbird13

Wear whatever makes you feel supported, comfortable, and like yourself. If you want to wear a thong, and it’s not hiked up to your armpits at the PTA meeting, go for it. This guy is paranoid for ridiculous reasons. We bet, if you found his porn, or Instagram, it’d be full of women wearing thongs and that’s why he’s freaking out.

You Don’t Deserve Her, Sir

Raising a child is hard, mentally draining, and takes years off of people’s lives. Anyone who raises a kiddo is a superhero. Of course, with childcare, comes sacrifices. Many parents have to give up hobbies, careers, all sorts of things, when they’re taking care of a baby. If they can find a way to get some alone time and pursue a hobby, while still working and raising a new life, more power to them. 

Reddit by u/WideDepartments

This guy sounds miserable for no reason. Your wife found a way to balance her career and raise your child while you did…what? Exactly. She held down two jobs, made six-figures, fully paid for your child’s education, and you just complain? Wow, maybe you should write down your feelings and get a book deal yourself.

When He Goes Low, Get High

Hey, you, yeah, you reading this. If you’ve ever cheated, or thought about it, stop. It’s mean and deceitful. Also, it could lead to you failing a drug test, even if you’ve never used anything once in your life. We’re not saying the guy deserved it, but maybe don’t cheat on your partner, especially if they’re a stoner. Cannabis, a naturally-growing plant that provides some medicinal benefits, has been demonized for generations. 

Reddit by u/savannahm15

It’s a shame, because it really doesn’t hurt people at the same level of alcohol or other substances. The thing it does do is potentially get you banned or fired from a job. Some places don’t allow any sort of tolerance for the plant. If it shows up in your pee, even if your ex-girlfriend did it because you’re a cheater, that’s it. You’re out of a job.

This Sounds Like Something Illegal

From what we could gather, this is a cry for help wrapped in a letter of “love”. Is this person okay? This reads like someone in her family, when she was a child, set her up with someone almost in their twenties? The two of them may also perhaps be related somehow? 

Reddit by u/kabukistar

What State did this take place in? This has “square state” drama written all over it. The Lord didn’t bring this union together. Some perverse family member did and convinced you it was the right thing to do. The Lord may have just prevented this guy from ending up in prison. This whole family needs an intervention.

Her Highness Has Doth Spoken

Kids, don’t do drugs and post online. That combination is usually always a bad idea and leads to stupid nonsense like that. How blitzed do you have to be to think that your son’s wife needs to be subservient to you and secondary in their own marriage? Sorry, but creating your kid is where the recognition ends. 

Reddit by u/beerbellybegone

Nobody is beholden to you nor does your son’s wife, not your property, need to worship the ground you walk on. If anything, you should be calling her and seeing if she’s okay. If you’re a mother-in-law and act this way, you probably raised a crappy kid, too. 

Hey, There’s No Need For Rudeness

If you’re the type of person looking for a relationship, it can be a relief when you finally find someone just perfect for you. Of course, you’re probably not planning to spend your whole life with them, at least not at first. But for the present time, they’re good. Usually, a good boyfriend is the type of person who lifts up his partner and supports them. 

Reddit by u/simonfranssen

They also bring an equal level of excitement and availability to the relationship. If they do the exact opposite of that, get rid of them. If your guy is just weighing you down, ditch them. Don’t go online and complain about them and make them the butt of jokes. Give everyone a break and grow up.

Foreplay Is Different For Everyone

Whatever gets you going in a consenting and intimate relationship with another adult is between y’all and the walls (if there are any). Nobody needs to know what turns you on. While many kinks and fetishes are common in the world of sex, butting the back of someone’s hair isn’t one of them. If erotic hair-cutting were a wildly popular thing, salons would be making a lot more money. 

Reddit by u/Jetsam21

With their prices, it’s not uncommon for some people to ask their family to cut their locks for them. At the end of the day, it’s just hair on top of your head. Who cares? According to this terrified mom, that’s something only a husband and wife should be talking about, let alone doing! 

What Happens When Grandma’s Pregnant?

If you’re married, it can be wise to try and forge healthy and close relationships with your in-laws. It just makes things easier, especially if your spouse is super-close to his family. How close you get is up to you. However, we’d draw the line at sleeping with your mother-in-law. That seems a bit much. 

Reddit by u/Unlikely_Lemon_1878

It becomes far too much, if it wasn’t already, when your wife is pregnant with her mom’s (your lover’s) sixth grandchild. Why do some people try to make their family trees into circles? Geometry isn’t cute when you’re discussing lineage. You want to branch things out and avoid situations like this for a variety of reasons.

That Doesn’t Just Go Away

Infidelity is often a deal-breaker for a relationship. When one person decides to jump into bed with another, sometimes not even that far, things go south in the marriage. Even if people have been on the rocks, cheating is never an excuse. This person took the idea of taking a lover to a massively bad place. She didn’t just cheat on her husband once. 

Reddit by u/Sloshmoshter

She did it routinely for over two years! That’s a whole other relationship with this dude’s best friend! Aw, gross, his wife and his best friend? This is like a sad romcom. Ma’am, you can’t magic this away. This isn’t something people just let fly. The only way forward is doing it separately, because you destroyed this guy.

That’s A Savage And Toxic Move

Nobody is their best when they’re in the middle of an argument. The more heated things get, the more personal and ridiculous the insults can get. Some people will take things to the extreme just to win a fight. Throw in a heavy dose of alcohol, and you’ve set the stage for a fight with no script whatsoever. Whatever rulebook people use in an argument is thrown away as soon as a bottle is popped. 

Reddit by u/Jennyvarela

This woman, at the height of the Pandemic, called the cops on her boyfriend. The (fake) reason? He had COVID-19 and was going to infect her. This was all because she was wasted and he didn’t apologize after a fight! Never get into a disagreement with her, we guess.

Sounds Like An Expensive Repair

Dude, this is a rookie mistake. Firstly, don’t cheat on your partner. That’s an obvious one. If you’re going to, get a burner phone. Don’t be dumb. If you use your regular, you’re going to find yourself in this situation right here. Then, what are you supposed to do? Pay even more money to get a “broken” phone fixed? If more people were honest with themselves and each other, things like this wouldn’t be happening nearly as frequently as they do. 

Reddit by u/sharbinbarbin

Besides, what’s stopping the repairperson from keeping the cash and fixing the phone? Absolutely nothing. If anything, that’s the only option that person has. Get two paydays and reveal a cheater at the same time!

Why Not Get A Job?

It must be exhausting being dependent on someone else to fund your lavish lifestyle. Asking for a monthly allowance, high-end gifts, and expensive take-out just seems like a lot of work. Why not get a job, buy yourself fancy things, and feel better about yourself in the process? That way, you don’t find yourself in a situation where you’re comparing your free gifts to your sister’s!

Reddit by u/Nannookky123

It’s a win-win. Of course, if that were the case, this person wouldn’t be in this article. Instead, they’re so selfish and blinded by greed they can’t see that this is still a pretty sweet deal. If anything, her boyfriend should be the one complaining. This lady is airing out all of his finances for the world to see! 

You’re Married, Get Off Tinder

To start, you’re a bad person. Cheating on your spouse is one thing. Cheating on your spouse and using a picture of you and your infant child to attract a lover is a new low. Are you really so bored with your life while your spouse is away that you need to try and blow it up with every right-swipe? 

Imgur

Why would you even get on something as trackable as Tinder? Your bio is also a complete mess. It sure looks like you’re trying to change your situation by cheating on your husband while he’s away at work. Just get the divorce and make things easier on everyone.

You’re Both Terribly Cheap People

Coupons are a great way to save a buck and get a couple awesome deals on food and necessities. While you don’t have to go to the extreme like some television shows make it seem, a few coupons can really upgrade your shopping cart. With all of that said, we don’t advise dumpster diving for your coupons. Thanks to the Internet and trash mailing, they’re in abundant supply everywhere. 

Reddit by u/se7en_7

Furthermore, if you’re in a tight space, but only because you’re cheap, do you really have anyone to blame for cheaper groceries than yourself? Times are tough, but food is a necessity. It seems like these two people need to get on the same page and budget better. The guy also needs to realize that coupons aren’t a bad thing, but coupons from the trash are a bit concerning. 

NOT YOUR INFORMATION TO SHARE!

WHY ARE WE TALKING IN ALL-CAPS? OH, THAT’S RIGHT, BECAUSE THIS DUDE IS AN IDIOT AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. Okay, phew, that’s better. Listen, some people may experience mood swings, irritability, and other uncomfortable side effects when dealing with menstruation. It’s not the most glamorous time of the month but a majority of the planet has to deal with it, so we all should be a bit more understanding. 

Reddit by u/theMightyMacBoy

With that said, if you don’t have to experience it, don’t go alerting others to your partner’s time of the month. It’s nobody’s business. Plus, you’re just making yourself look like some insensitive jerk. This seems like a no-win for everyone involved. 

Sorry Golddigger, That’s How It Works

Finding the love of your life to spend eternity with sounds like a great idea. However, when reality sets in, you may realize that that comes with a lot more paperwork than you thought. Most couples don’t die at the same time. One person will generally outlive the other in some way or fashion. For moments like that, a will is the smartest way to divide up assets and ensure everyone is taken care of. 

Reddit by u/tesdfan17

In that regard, once someone becomes a parent, the child becomes priority, not the spouse. If anyone is confused by this, maybe it’s time to reevaluate some priorities. No spouse should ever put themselves before the kids. If they do, then they’re ot really in the relationship for love to begin with.

The Math Isn’t Adding Up

Age gaps in couples are fine, but only if both people are of age already. If you’re old enough to be acting and voting in multiple elections and investing in life insurance, you shouldn’t have an eighteen-year-old girlfriend. The only thing worse than that would be if you started being her “friend” when she was fourteen. 

Reddit by u/kabukistar

German YouTuber and anti-COVID filmmaker Joshua Wesely announced his girlfriend’s 18th birthday with the strange emphasis, FINALLY?  This photo reeks of creepiness. You may be sure she wants to spend forever with you, but is she? Someone get her aside and see if her parents know what’s up.

Go Find Another Hobby, Ma’am

If you think a spouse is cheating on you, call them out. Just do it. Make sure you have receipts and then get it over with. Life is too short to end up with you on the front page of a tabloid for sniffing crotches. You’re not a bloodhound, Becky. You’re not even a dog. 

Reddit by u/Scorpini_83

How are you going to determine if your husband is cheating just by sniffing his old undies? You’re not. This is where some people mix their kinks with their relationship concerns. You’re never going to get the answer you want. If you do, then you probably already knew it to begin with. Plus, that underwear is gross.

Emojis Don’t Make Incest Better

Don’t date your cousin. It doesn’t matter if they’re a first, second, or third cousin. Just don’t. There’s absolutely no reason, in a world of billions, that you have to find your forever-person at the family reunion. This isn’t the olden times when people kept relations within the family to protect property and wealth. This is 2023. 

Reddit by u/arqamniazi

If you can operate social media and brag about being gross, you can absolutely get on a dating app and filter out the people you already share DNA with. It’s not that difficult! If you do decide to date a consenting adult family member, be a bit more discreet about it. Also, try not to have kids.
