SINGAPORE: A woman who wanted “Advice on dealing with a sensitive husband” took to social media asking whether she should leave him for the sake of their child.
In an anonymous post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, the woman wrote that her husband liked to be the best and was sensitive to criticism be it direct or implied. “He will strike me physically if he feels that I am criticising him. He has done so already, at least once every one to two months. I continue to stay with him because I have no family and afraid of being alone”.
“Our baby is cries a lot these days. We try to soothe him by 8 pm so that bb can sleep. My husband wishes to play with bb around 7:30 pm so I pass bb to my husband. He aggressively bounces bb or have bb lie down on his lap. Bb is frequently unhappy and cries. I have to spend time soothing the bb and eventually bb settles. My husband is mad at me. Calls the baby names and scolds me for not letting him play with the baby”, the woman added, explaining that if she asks her husband to stop calling their child names, he gets angry with her.
She wrote in her post that she was worried her husband would not be mature enough to parent their child responsibly and added that she feared for her child’s safety.
“If we separate now, he might still receive joint custody – not an option atm. Any advice welcome. Is this a totally irreparable relationship?” she wrote.
Netizens who commented on her post were unanimous in asking her to leave the marriage. Here’s what they said:
Earlier this year, a woman took to social media asking others for advice on whether she should trust her own husband after he revealed to her that his female colleague was flirting with him. In an anonymous post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, the woman wrote that she recently discovered “my husband’s colleague is trying to hook up with him”. She wrote that she found out when her husband came clean and told her that “one of his colleagues has been texting him inappropriate things and sending him suggestive pictures recently (think sexy lingerie, cleavage shots, suggestive poses etc)”. Her husband has known his female colleague for about four years and she had just gotten married.
“She has never came onto him like this before this incident and their relationship was purely work related. (Or so my husband claims) My husband showed me the texts between him and the colleague and I did see him rejecting her saying its not appropriate for her to say such things to him given that they both have their married partners etc. She said in her texts that she wanted to see if she stood a chance because she really likes him”, she wrote.
The woman asked netizens: “I just wanted to know, do you all think my husband is being honest? That their relationship is purely work related and there’s nothing going on between them? And why is his colleague being such a slut? Trying to seduce someone else’s husband when she has her own? Can someone really stoop that low?”
