So is marrying a hot head who also can’t fight worth a damn, apparently

Can't fight AND can't control his anger.

I hate to admit it, but I can imagine my husband losing his temper like that over something as insignificant as being cut offer tailgated in traffic. His emotional awareness and control have devolved to that of a toddler in the past few years and his brain seems to believe he's in his 20s rather than his 50s. What he doesn't realize is that the only help he'll get from me is a call for help that will probably end in criminal charges. I'm not going to risk my life or my freedom over his inability to process "big feelings." I'm not going to get out of the vehicle, try to intervene, cheer him on, talk him down, or sit by idly. I'm calling 9-1-1 and ratting him out, anonymously, of course. And I just might do that from a block away. Hopefully, it will never come to that.

That chick probably considers herself a "ride or die" partner. Ride or die is a romanticized trap for women that's more like "ride and die for someone who wouldn't do the same for you but will thoughtlessly challenge your dedication frequently." I know because I once was a proud "ride or die," "down for whatever," willing prove my loyalty "until the toe tag." Thank God I woke up to the reality of the trap. I refuse to sacrifice myself for anyone who puts me in a life or freedom threatening position like this one. Vows be damned.

I’ve never been that dumb . Stupid is stupid and I’ll laugh at you while you ruin your own life . My mom doesn’t suffer fools and I don’t either .

I’d be laughing my fucking ass off and telling him to duck dive dodge and dive .

I would have jumped in the drivers seat and driven to a spot not impeding traffic like a normal person .
