What should i do about this situation of my cousin treating his wife like a slave - please read the details?
I saw my cloose cousin for the first time in 2 years yesterday, he just left the marines and is now back home. He came to my brothers party and i was disgusted by what he had become. He treats his wife like a slave, makes her do everything for him, talks bad about her, and says that its the least she can do since she doesnt work. I love my cousin, we grew up together since we were infants, im also not the type of person to get involved in others relationships though. Im not sure if i should say something…or stop talking to him….im just disgusted.
Well, my general rule is that, if the behaviour makes me uneasy, avoid it. If you happen to decide to stop talking to him, don’t go quietly - he needs to hear that he’s been acting wrongly.
I would say because you know him so well to try and speak to him and tell him that you are disapointed. Just be careful not to get too emotional about it.
I’m not sure you can do anything to change the situation. At the end of the day, no one’s holding a gun to her head. She is choosing to put up with being treated badly. You can stand up to him when he’s doing something, you dont have to be obviously critical but you can get your point across using humor or whatever. You could confront him. You could just avoid him. Regardless, I dont think you’re going to get anywhere and you’ll probably end up causing conflict in the family. It’s a lose-lose situation all around I’m afraid.
i can only answer from my point of view of how i would feel if my cousin did that and I was really close to him & found that offensive…
Personally i would take him aside and let him know that i missed him while being gone, but also remind him that this isnt him either…that he would never talk or disrespect anyone that way. Also I would put him in a situation asking him how he would feel if she treated him the same way and put him down in front of his family & friends as well?! it’s disrespectful, and not necessary! If he decides to have a fit then so be it…but you said your peace…
option number 2…say nothing roll your eyes at him for being the jerk he was & when he comes to you & asks wtf that was about…then give it to him!
He is probably acting like this because he has spent all of the time in the marines obeying orders 100%. As soon as he is out, he realizes that now HE can be the one who can give orders. If I were you I would stay right out of it. But if he gets worse or does something to put his wife in danger, then you could consider saying something.
This could be serious… he could be abusing her not only mentally but physically. I would imagine by now she would have left him, so either shes really in love with him or is being forced to stay in the relationship. But i dont know all of the facts. I would tell him straight up to stop doing that, no beating around the bushes. My dad was in the marines, and it didnt mess him up like that. There is no excuse for treating a woman badly.
she sldnt listen to him and what he says make him do things himself and then hed get out the habbit of making his wife do things for him
Confront him and tell him striaght up. Don’t candy coat a thing. If he’s close to you, and you’re as close to him, it may take a wake up call such as being blunt for him to realize. However, people do tend to change inthe army. Bes of luck.
but the bible say that you suppose to listen and do what your husband tell you.. but if its bad get out although he hate it
You should DEFINATELY confront them both! i would talk to his wife fisrt and make sure she knows your there for her and you should find out if shes unhappy with her situation and if so…get her help and talk to your cousin! even though you love him, you should still do whats best.
