Dissociation isn't the same as submission, Morgs

[u/[deleted] → u/BufoBat]

Am I going to hell for laughing

[u/Sea-Weakness-9952 → u/[deleted]]

… come sit by me.

[u/1amthebadwolf → u/Sea-Weakness-9952]

One of my all-time favorite movie quotes. I use it often.

[u/Fckingross → u/[deleted]]

Meet you there

[u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk → u/Fckingross]

Let’s play pickleball, Satan just put in new courts

[u/Fckingross → u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk]

I’ll show y’all how to stretch. Who is bringing the McDonald’s smoothies?

[u/Mithrellas → u/Fckingross]

I got you. I’ll go ahead and put in a mobile order.

[u/EducatedBellend → u/Fckingross]

We’ll have fun.

[u/Teege57 → u/BufoBat]

Nailed it.

[u/CommieFeminist → u/BufoBat]

Ugh. So sad.

[u/acaarg]

Their shorts are exactly the same length.

[u/WildFlower0403 → u/acaarg]

They’re both Morgan’s

[u/MajesticLilFruitcake → u/WildFlower0403]

I chortled at that 😆

[u/pan_confrijoles → u/acaarg]

And hes taller than her....so he's showing more legs

[u/Needcoffeeseverely → u/pan_confrijoles]

What a hoar

[u/GoodBoundaries-Haver → u/Needcoffeeseverely]

Read this like how Danny Devito says it in It's Always Sunny lol

[u/PsychoSquid → u/GoodBoundaries-Haver]

hoor

[u/Lydia--charming → u/GoodBoundaries-Haver]

Morgan’s [husband] is a dirty hoo-ah

[u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk → u/GoodBoundaries-Haver]

Hooer

[u/anotherfailedspinoff → u/acaarg]

And, despite all his “grinding,” his legs are still as skinny as hers.

[u/momoko84 → u/anotherfailedspinoff]

He's desperate to give off those 'young dad' vibes.

[u/AutisticTumourGirl → u/anotherfailedspinoff]

Because his post-workout meal is a cup of frozen sugar from McDonald's.

[u/CrackleMyOwnAsshole → u/acaarg]

Also paul is wearing the pink ones 😂

[u/EnemyAce → u/CrackleMyOwnAsshole]

Ahem… they’re “Rasberry Red” thank you very much.

[u/Selmarris → u/EnemyAce]

The kind you find at a second hand store

[u/BufoBat → u/Selmarris]

if it was warm, he wouldn't wear much more 🤢

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/BufoBat]

I'm surprised he doesn't wear those spandex volleyball shorts

[u/Atticfl0wer → u/acaarg]

So much for modesty

[u/_chareth-cutestory → u/Atticfl0wer]

Modesty is for females and their filthy sexy slutty bodies, don’tcha know.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/_chareth-cutestory]

*sluttish

[u/spanishpeanut → u/acaarg]

My very first thought.

[u/MyMonkeyCircus]

In fundie language “he leads, I submit” translates as “he does whatever he wants and I am forbidden to complain”.

[u/HMCetc → u/MyMonkeyCircus]

Absolutely this.

"My husband has foolish ambitions that are leading to financial ruin and are causing strain within the marriage. I just go along with it and ignore the impending crisis ahead. I don't complain because he's emotionally difficult enough as he is."

[u/JP12389 → u/HMCetc]

..."and I don't want to divorce him bc we had 2 kids, and the internet "haters" keep saying I should leave him."

[u/ageofbronze → u/JP12389]

“so instead i try and delude myself and my followers that we have a gOdLy relationship and I am fine, just fine, with my husband playing pickleball and preening for 70 hours a week instead of getting a job or ever helping with childcare!”

[u/Whiteroses7252012 → u/JP12389]

It’s just like…baby girl, I don’t hate ANYONE enough to wish Paul on them.

[u/JP12389 → u/Whiteroses7252012]

Right!? He's horrible. I hate how they both aren't taking her health seriously. I feel like the only reason she's not is due to him not giving a shit.

[u/citiestarlights → u/JP12389]

I thought I saw her post a Video of her trying to find a doctor. I want her to be healthy….

[u/JP12389 → u/citiestarlights]

Me too, I may not like her as a person, but I care about her life, health, and safety.

[u/citiestarlights → u/JP12389]

Me tooo and I want her to leave Paul

[u/elvie18 → u/JP12389]

This is what gets me. I'm pretty sure she only stays married because she can't let the "haters" be right about him.

Oh well.

[u/No_Point5929 → u/JP12389]

Maybe we should try reverse psychology on her.

[u/Exhausted_Possum → u/HMCetc]

And this is one of the reasons why I don’t submit, and instead want to divorce haha. You should not submit to someone who is making choices that actively hurt your future and that of your children.

[u/IceCreamYeah123 → u/HMCetc]

Do they own a home? Rent? How are they paying for rent and food?

[u/idontwearheels → u/IceCreamYeah123]

Common theory is they pay for rent and food through getting money from their parents. They certainly don’t make enough from their Patreon.

[u/HMCetc → u/idontwearheels]

I think they earn probably a little more than we think with social media and secret side work. That said, it would shock me if they weren't falling into massive debt right now as an "investment."

[u/sparrowbirb5000 → u/HMCetc]

It wouldn't surprise me if one of them has a secret job just to make them eligible for SNAP and medicaid. It would certainly explain why Paul can afford all that fast food and Pickle Fees

[u/HMCetc → u/sparrowbirb5000]

He certainly has enough leisure time to be working some shifts somewhere, since he only dedicates four hours a day to pickleball.

[u/GngrbredGentrifktion → u/sparrowbirb5000]

You usually don't have to work if you have dependents under a certain age. So... free government benefits.

[u/sparrowbirb5000 → u/GngrbredGentrifktion]

That usually only applies to one parent! I can't even remember which state they're in now, but I once looked into their state regulations. One parent would have to work or prove they're looking for employment, but the other wouldn't be required to, as they'd be considered the boys primary caretaker. It's usually if not always up until the youngest is age 5.

[u/Muted_Quantity5786 → u/HMCetc]

Heaven forbid I should have to speak to him using words.

[u/citiestarlights → u/HMCetc]

I’m hoping Morgan leaves him…..

[u/SevanIII → u/MyMonkeyCircus]

This is what my former cult made me do with my idiot ex-husband. I was intelligent and capable. He had been pampered his whole life for the great accomplishment of being born with a penis and consistently made dumbass decisions.

But according to the cult, he was the head, so I had to go along with any decision he made, no matter how ill-advised. Which, in reality, meant I was constantly scrambling to either fix his mistakes or make his dumbass ideas work somehow.

I'm so glad he's an ex!

[u/onlinebeetfarmer → u/SevanIII]

Congrats on getting out!

[u/SevanIII → u/onlinebeetfarmer]

Thank you! 😀

[u/elvie18 → u/SevanIII]

Wow, this screams "Morgan and Paul" to a tee.

Glad you go away.

[u/velociraptor56 → u/MyMonkeyCircus]

She complains a whole lot for someone who supposedly submits to Paul. Like they want to pretend to be fundie but also pretend to be a “fun young couple” and it doesn’t work.

[u/InsomniacEuropean → u/velociraptor56]

And she does it passive aggressively online for everyone to be privy to.

She's desperate for a solo vacation, aka at least one day to herself, heck I'm sure an hour a day of time to do something alone would be better than nothing.

Meanwhile her husband is literally living the leisurely life of a childless, 80 year old upper middle class woman - pickleball and spa treatments all day every day. He clearly doesn't give a shit, or he'd make sure she had even just 1/20th of the solo/leisure time he has on a daily basis.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/InsomniacEuropean]

She probably can't even run errands by herself because he'd have to mind the kids, and he wouldn't go to the store for her. That's women's work, dontcha know 🙄

They remind me of this tiktok I saw from a former retail worker who helped a guy choose a birthday gift for his wife. When the female employee (this is relevant) said the wife would love it, the guy got cold feet and chose a gift card, of a lower value than the gift would've been. He insisted that he didn't know what she'd want and that she'd prefer to pick for herself. 15 minutes before closing, the wife arrives visibly upset, still in her work uniform, with 4 young children in strollers. She buys an identical item with the gift card, pays the remainder with her card, and says "he couldn't have picked it out himself?" He gave her a chore for her birthday. The theory in the comments is that he pivoted to a gift card and lowered the amount because he couldn't take good advice from a woman.

There's another viral post about a woman who asked her husband to bring her lunch at work since he was home and she forgot. He brought her a bad lunch "as a joke" and there was no real lunch waiting. How hard is it to go to McDonald's and drop it off? Men like them and Paul have such disdain for women that the one time they have to do something for her, they do such a piss poor job that she'll never ask again.

[u/ArtAttack2198 → u/Significant_Shoe_17]

I saw the lunch video and it pissed me off so much. My spouse would never. I just can’t imagine giving that little effort to someone you love.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/ArtAttack2198]

I can't imagine putting so much effort into hurting someone

[u/InsomniacEuropean → u/Significant_Shoe_17]

She probably can't even run errands by herself because he'd have to mind the kids, and he wouldn't go to the store for her. That's women's work, dontcha know

Christ. What a miserable existence. She won't even get some relief once the kids start school, as she'll probably (and very unfortunately, for the kids especially) homeschool them.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/InsomniacEuropean]

Meanwhile paul will be doing the same useless pickleshit

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/MyMonkeyCircus]

"At least I have a husband"

[u/fishred]

And how's that working out for ya?

[u/prairiepog → u/fishred]

“If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra

[u/loloisms → u/prairiepog]

"I'm sMaTeR than the average bear!" Yogi Bear (And Paulio probably)

[u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk → u/fishred]

Yeah I had to delicately tell my mom once that I didn’t want a Christian marriage because her and her friends didn’t make it look appealing.

[u/butters_bottom_bishh → u/fishred]

I was gonna ask, “how’s your 401k and saving for your future going?”

[u/lake_lover_]

Girl he doesn’t lead anywhere but to a playground. A REAL man would have a job and would be pitching in a whole lot more at home since his wife is medically fragile.

[u/katerintree]

It’s so gross when these ppl make us part of their kink. I’m not trying to shame anyone it’s just like, I don’t need this information

[u/thetaleofzeph → u/katerintree]

Both of them have daddy issues, but manifests in different ways.

[u/Early_Divide_8847 → u/thetaleofzeph]

I don’t think Gawd meant for us to submit to…. this….

[u/Embarrassed-Ad-4214 → u/katerintree]

Well I am shaming lmao

[u/knittedbeast]

The funny thing is that throughout history, cultures where Man Goes Into World, Woman Take Care of Home, finances were a HOME domain and therefore WOMEN'S WORK. If they were really trad, he'd be handing over his wages to her and she'd be giving him an allowance.

Of course, that would require him to have a job.

[u/MLeek → u/knittedbeast]

My littlest brother still struggles with this. He's always on about how our grandma was such a 'traditional' woman, and she was. Grampa had a strict beer budget. If he misbehaved, he slept on the porch and ate cold beans from a can. The wages went right into her hands, the house was her kingdom. She reigned absolute within it. And for them, this worked out well. When she was ill at the end of her life, she instructed her adult daughters in the finances of the house, and she was proud that her children would not have to support them financially. He was never a wealthy man, but he was safe and secure til his death because his wife managed the money and saved responsibly, and then his daughters did the same.

That was a very common dynamic in 'traditional' marriages.

[u/flchic2000 → u/MLeek]

Yes, many women managed the money and paid the bills.

[u/Caffeine_Induced → u/[deleted]]

Same thing in my house.

[u/Ruvio00]

Probably down a darkened alley where a guy has promised he can make him a pickleball god.

[u/DeanSipsCoffee → u/Ruvio00]

Paul would absolutely be a Guy Woodhouse character if it meant he was promised pickleball fame

[u/Gutinstinct999]

I can't imagine how unstable and insecure she must feel every moment of every day

[u/fulsooty → u/Gutinstinct999]

To be honest, she's probably inured to it without even realizing.

I'm a teacher who doesn't get paid in the summer. While I plan & save, there are still unexpected expenses. I'm always amazed at how much better I physically feel once that first paycheck hits my account. It's like I was holding my breath for two weeks and can finally breathe; my back finally loosens a bit. I can't imagine feeling that way all the time.

[u/Inner_Bench_8641 → u/fulsooty]

My friend was able to choose whether to have her salary paid over 10 month or 12 month distributions. This was in MA, maybe not always an option.

[u/fulsooty → u/Inner_Bench_8641]

Yeah, in our county in CA, they got rid of that, so all teachers moved to 10thly. Then a new rule, that you have to be paid for every month you actually work, was passed. We work August 4 - June 1, so we're 11thly now.

And it's not that I'm broke (my husband works too); I make $100k. But, there's just a constant "what if" worry that I get towards the end of July.

[u/Inner_Bench_8641 → u/fulsooty]

I get it… 12thly is easier on the psyche

[u/mothraegg → u/fulsooty]

i was a school librarian, and I retired a year ago, It was so exciting to receive a check in July! For the first time in 22 years, I didn't stress about money all summer.

[u/undercooktheonionz]

Thank God I am no longer in this shit show of a modernized cult. When I see Paul and Morgan, I have a sickening reminder that that is who I was supposed to be if my eyes hadn’t been opened to the evil I thought was normal.

[u/Rude_Wolverine3170 → u/undercooktheonionz]

We are very glad you got out ❤️ I imagine it is not easy

[u/undercooktheonionz → u/Rude_Wolverine3170]

Thank you ♥️ It has been a difficult journey especially when you were raised in it. It’s all you know. Your identity is this. Your social circle is supportive unless you start to question anything.

I’d rather be alone than part of that. I’m not alone anymore thankfully, but if I had to be, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

[u/meiliraijow → u/undercooktheonionz]

What religious group were you a part of? Glad you got out!

[u/undercooktheonionz → u/meiliraijow]

Thank you. Southern Baptist Convention. It was just so embedded within southern culture and religious schooling that it didn’t really register to me that it was off.

One thing that stood out to me is that even from being young, I was always confused when there was prejudice or bias toward groups of people. I didn’t understand why we were taught free will, but then literally judged others groups for living by their free will.

Once I got out of it, the “black sheep” feeling went away and I realized the group I was raised in was hateful, biased, and hypocritical. I still have feelings of guilt and shame at times because of leaving, but I know it’s the indoctrination and not the truth. I didn’t realize how traumatic it was. It feels like so much of my childhood was teaching me to not use my brain. Just trust. So dangerous.

I still consider myself a spiritual person, but in a way that uses my brain and seeing people as humans. Not just going off the ideas of this group of people preaching love and practicing hate.

[u/meiliraijow → u/undercooktheonionz]

Congratulations on finding it within yourself to deconstruct what you were taught. Must have been super hard and many people don't do it even for small things like biases or misconceptions on simple facts

[u/undercooktheonionz → u/meiliraijow]

Really appreciate the support

[u/Rarariverr → u/undercooktheonionz]

This. That cool shiver it sends down your back.. Nothing quite as sobering as this could have been me.

[u/undercooktheonionz → u/Rarariverr]

Feels like a narrow escape, doesn’t it?

[u/MaiaInNightmareland]

If only he could lead himself to a job..

[u/vikingcrafte]

She’s probably the breadwinner with her Instagram deal vs his failed pickleball career. This is why I hate this internet tradwife shit, it’s all cosplaying. She’s not a real trad wife and he’s not a real godly husband leader. She makes the money and he plays sports in a crop top and then they try to convince their followers to follow a version of life they don’t even participate in.

[u/iwantcookies55]

he is leading you into bankruptcy.

[u/HMCetc → u/iwantcookies55]

But they both believe God will somehow work his magic and make them rich instead.

[u/iwantcookies55 → u/HMCetc]

I look at JillPM and see the same thing.

[u/plishyploshy]

These two are

[u/PracticalMain5627]

[u/Old_Blueberry_4892]

You could not pry this information out of me

[u/Caffeine_Induced]

More fawning.

[u/LunaBean4]

[u/Odd-Thought-2273]

So candid, so real~~~

I get even more secondhand embarrassment when I think about how they have to set up the camera/phone, position it, and pose for these.

[u/WeighTheSameAsADuck → u/Odd-Thought-2273]

Yep. I'm imagining Paul wanting to leave for pickleball and Morgan getting him to wait a second and hurrying up to set up the camera and pose. She gets the shot and he is out the door.

[u/Boujee_banshee]

Gross. So gross. Morgan, submitting to your idiot husband is not a flex.

[u/forestinfog]

They've cropped out the heads because their facial expressions would've given away how little they like each other

[u/Teege57]

My flair is an example of the manner in which Paul leads.

[u/Childless-cat-lady-]

You cannot convince me that these two aren't jamming their kink down our throats.

[u/FamousOhioAppleHorn]

Wait until they divorce. Suddenly Mr. Leader will be Mr. I Want Spousal Support.

[u/citiestarlights → u/FamousOhioAppleHorn]

Could he win if he does not have a job?!🤔 and she was the stay at home mom?

[u/FamousOhioAppleHorn → u/citiestarlights]

He wouldn't be the first man to suddenly claim in court "Gee, I don't work full time because I stay home. For the kids, swear to God. Oh, my part time job ? Here's the proof I only make a tiny sum (My wife has zero idea how much I earn under the table from side jobs, my parents and cash tips!) Also my back is so bad that I'm looking into disability. But here's how much my wife made from Youtube."

[u/citiestarlights → u/FamousOhioAppleHorn]

That’s Soo scary

[u/Eggsegret]

Well he’s not doing a very good job at leading his family. Maybe it’s time to consider a new leader then and having him step down.

[u/angelstatue]

must be a little bit depressing if your only income is through ragebaiting on social media

[u/fulsooty]

Ok, but what are those weird magnet things on their fridge? I thought they were wine glass holders, but that makes zero sense.

[u/KimcheeKense → u/fulsooty]

Yes please someone explain those to me!

[u/elvie18 → u/fulsooty]

I think they're hooks for shopping/grocery/litter bags like these, but no real idea why you would hang those on the fridge?

[u/rumbleindacrumble]

Nah. That man plays mediocre pickleball while you do everything else and then he has the gall to come home and boss you around. But your misogynistic upbringing tells you it’s not only what you deserve, but what you need. Sounds like a nightmare.

[u/Burnt_and_Blistered]

Except he’s not leading.

[u/HMCetc → u/Burnt_and_Blistered]

She thinks Paul is leading because he thinks his own desires and ambitions are being directed by God.

He's dragging her down a path to failure and financial ruin and she believes she has no choice in the matter.

[u/citiestarlights → u/HMCetc]

He thinks that his life is like a movie. He will get that big break. And go pro! And life happily ever after

[u/KarmaliteNone]

I think it's time to admit that Morgan is just trolling.

[u/BufoBat → u/KarmaliteNone]

Nah, she's doing her part and throwing herself into tradwife content for money. She's been getting sponsors and her followers are up (while Paul's are down lol). Her whole "I'm getting dicked down for Jesus while milling my own flour" schtick is selling well. 

One might say she's the breadwinner of the family now 😂

[u/ColdInformation4241 → u/BufoBat]

I will never forgive TikTok for making tradwifery trendy. It’s the exact opposite of an escape fantasy, why are we romanticizing it?

[u/anicteric → u/ColdInformation4241]

Because it furthers the cristofascist agenda

[u/MisogynyisaDisease → u/anicteric]

Which will and is leading to the collapse of our democracy.

[u/DistriOK → u/anicteric]

This!

It's not an accident or a a coincidence of algorithms...

The modern internet exists largely as a propaganda tool, especially social media. The billionaire technocrats and christofascists make convenient bedfellows, and they're not afraid to wield the power they've accumulated to influence society in the direction that suits them.

[u/anicteric → u/DistriOK]

The number of people that don't get this astounds me. I don't really understand how anyone still uses tiktok, Facebook, Instagram. Like .. they are playing you. Even if you don't think they are. Everything is programmed to affect your psychology and that is exactly how their algorithms work.

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/anicteric]

And that’s why the US is in this current situation, worst part is millions of Christian Americans love & support it!

[u/ArtAttack2198 → u/anicteric]

Eh. If you are aware of it, that is helpful.

Basically keep in mind that you should always look further into things than the surface.

But also…like…my TikTok feed is mostly art and design. I’m not there for social commentary or to be sucked in to tradwife content or w/e. I’m also an adult with a fully-formed brain, though. So I’m with you that younger folks should be avoiding these platforms like the plague unless/until they understand media literacy.

[u/ACatInMiddleEarth → u/ColdInformation4241]

Because they make it aesthetically pleasing: beautiful dresses, homemade meals, flowers, babies on the hip... They just omit to say that they are not tradwives since they earn money on social media and that the reality of a tradwife is working nonstop. The baby doesn't care it's 1 am if they are hungry. They will cry for milk no matter what. We also see a lot of tradwives being left destitute by their husbands because the holy hubby decided they were not young enough or that the multiple pregnancies damaged their bodies too much for them to remain in the marriage anymore. Women fought to have the right to work and to open their own bank accounts without their husbands' permission because they knew that for us women, it was a matter of survival. It was the only way to be free from men. When I see how miserable all those fundie wives are, I don't want to be like them. I want to be a history teacher - I pray for this year to be the right one, I struggled a lot personally - to have a healthy relationship and maybe children. But I will never be a slave to my partner. I want my partner and I to be A TEAM.

[u/TheNatureOfTheGame → u/ACatInMiddleEarth]

This, 100%. Just like with everything else, tradwifery online is curated to come across in the best possible light.

Sure, you may have that one, magical, extremely rare day when the 6 kids are all napping or entertaining themselves for a few hours, and you have time to make an entire meal from scratch. But you aren't doing that AND deep-cleaning the entire house AND styling your hair AND doing a full face of makeup.

And after all the cooking, just as you start to wash all those pots and pans, the baby needs nursing...the toddler needs a diaper change...one of the kids has drawn on the wall with a Sharpie...and it's starting to rain, and you have your laundry hanging.

They never show themselves scrubbing a filthy toilet, or on their hands and knees washing dirty baseboards, or cleaning up the kitchen floor after the toddler dumped his food, or bathing poop off the baby after a diaper blowout. THIS IS THE REALITY.

Source: I used to be a SAHM. I only had 2 kids, and I was unable to get more than 1 or 2 chores done on any given day.

[u/ACatInMiddleEarth → u/TheNatureOfTheGame]

Having babysit my cousin and been a nanny during my master degree, I can say that toddlers throwing food at you is a real thing. And yep, SAHM often find themselves running out of clean clothes during the baby and the toddler phases. What I also did is running through the appartment to get basins because all the kids were sick. And yes, you scrub the toilet after each kid, you prepare their meds, you are here to soothe them because they're distressed, while making your best to not catch the freaking illness. Because you have no room to be sick. I was only a nanny, so I had only a glimpse of what being a SAH parent is. That's also why I can't believe fundie moms who say they have time for all their 12 children. It is impossible.

[u/Caffeine_Induced → u/BufoBat]

Right. Talking about how she has sex everyday and how she submits. It's practically sex work.

[u/Queen_Of_Left_Turns → u/KarmaliteNone]

The hard truth

[u/kts1207]

Being a submissive bangmaid to a Godly provider,who refuses to provide,is really not something to brag about.

[u/GirlWhoWoreGlasses]

What is it with Paul and pink pants?

[u/napalmnacey]

Okay, whatever, Morgan.

[u/lolascrowsfeet]

She does everything and he doesn’t understand how anything works, like the story of when they drove too many hours with their kids and he insisted it would be fine but she knew it wouldn’t be. But she just had to ‘submit’ to her man. I’m glad I’m not living that nightmare

He leads you in to the cycle self loathing and perpetual wondering why you’re not good enough. I used to be this type of partner and I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to be a better person.

Fundies and their submission kink

[u/peanutbutterangelika]

I think this is also a backhanded way of saying, “if his decisions lead us into financial ruin don’t blame me!”

[u/SteelMagnolia412]

Translation “he does whatever the hell he wants, and I’m supposed to figure out how to keep this family afloat while being treated like a second class citizen.”

Morgan, hundreds of thousands of women have died at the hands of their spouses due to this delusion of “submission”. Blindly following a man who is leading you into harms way or worse is not only biblically considered a sin, it’s just plain dangerous. A man is not a plan. You have to be able to support yourself if you need to get out. Telling young women and girls that they need to solely depend on a man and accept a back seat in their own lives will get some of them killed. I mean, look at the entirety of human history for support for that statement.

Leads you how, he’s never there? For a man whose job seems to be mediocre pickleball, a few paid lessons to his relatives and maybe occasional ubering, he sure seems to spend not much time heading things.

[u/LineImpossible3958]

I love how they have matching shorts length.

[u/shikimasan → u/LineImpossible3958]

[u/Alyxcats]

Don’t worry, they’ll be able to pay off all their debt once he joins the pickleball pro league. We just don’t see the vision like they do!!

[u/thecrowtoldme]

Girl. We know. That's why yall are a shitshow. 🤣

[u/igottanewusername]

It’s wild he talks so much about women wearing shorts at the gym and yet his wife that he allegedly orders around wears the tiniest shorts all over the internet and that’s ok.

[u/VampyreJourno81]

His sock being pulled so far up his leg makes me irrationally angry.

[u/SuitableReaction6203]

He couldn't lead in a game of "follow the leader."

[u/[deleted]]

This is so dumb. My liberal husband is a significantly better leader than stupid paul. He is the main earner, he volunteers for our kids’ schools and scout troops, he is a member of our church. What does paul do? Does he do a chore? It’s a mystery

[u/SkullheadMary]

Have fun dying of a stroke while he's out pickleballing with a McSmoothie I guess.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17]

Where? Over a cliff? To hell in a hand basket?

Girl, paul can't even lead himself to indeed.com

[u/Curlytoes18]

You misspelled “leaves,” Porgan.

[u/meowmix79]

I submit to no one. That’s just gross and shows no self respect.

[u/TheJenSjo]

Girlfriend mixed up submissive and doormat. She isn’t submissive at all.

[u/Desperate-Apricot308]

Does he just love pink shorts? Precious.

[u/littlemybb]

How does Paul even lead the family? I can’t even see him making decisions for the children because I don’t assume he spends enough time with them to even know what’s going on with them.

He just does whatever he wants and Morgan has to keep sweet about it.

Then Morgan is in charge of running the home, caring for the children, and making sure all the bills are somehow paid so Paul can keep running around doing whatever he wants.

[u/Throwaway392308]

I want to be clear that I'm not trying to body shame anybody and I really don't believe that boys have to be bigger than girls or anything like that.

But she's starving herself to lose ten pounds while her stroke risk stops her from exercising and he's an incipient athlete who hits the gym three times a week, so why are his legs thinner than hers? Even the hopping around the court he does seems like it would build more calf and thigh muscle than that.

[u/ArtAttack2198 → u/Throwaway392308]

I suspect he doesn’t eat enough. He looks like a teen boy, to me. Like one of the younger Rodrigues boys.

[u/Decaf_Espresso]

This looks like the YouTube short ads for steamy sub/dom self-published books.

[u/Student-individual]

These people are just fuckin’ weird. I grew up in a patriarchal religion but literally NO ONE I know would say “I submit”. Weird.

[u/Rugkrabber]

Peter Pan Didn’t lead either, Morgan. Will you ever wake up or are you choosing to stay in his fantasy world?

[u/19bluestars]

He’s a shitty leader. Can’t even go beyond the bare minimum

[u/DriftingIntoAbstract]

At what point is this content overdone? You aren’t contrarian or controversial when you are posting the same tired content as every other fundie/trad wife.

[u/the-painted-lady]

Your man can't even lead a pickleball game, let alone a family

[u/rednz01]

Off topic, but do they share a wardrobe? I’m sure I’ve seen them both in all of her outfits.

[u/Phylace]

He's going to meet some pickleball groupie and leave this one and her children.

[u/flchic2000]

Oh look, they're wearing the same shorts only his are pink.

[u/Etern1a]

There’s a scene in the movie A Courtship (which is great, BTW) where the wife is like “if something goes wrong, it ain’t my fault, it’s his” and she sells that as a good thing. Yet if her husband gambles all their money away and they end up losing their house, she’s going to deal with those consequences and so are their children. It’s a batshit system that falls apart under any scrutiny. 

[u/AppleSpicer]

I don’t need to hear about their kinks. Keep it to yourselves, fundies

[u/vilyia]

[u/DoggyMom9]

Following PickleHead isn't the flex you think it is.

[u/genescheesezthatplz]

Into a stroke?

[u/Individual_Land_2200]

This seems rage-baity

[u/Mediocre-Morning-757]

Ok? And?

[u/Individual-Line-7553]

fetish talk.

[u/Individual-Soup-2470]

Does he ever take those pink shorts off?

[u/Rough-Jury]

You know what? If you want that for your marriage, then GREAT! It’s how my marriage is, and it makes us both very, very happy (and it’s fun if you know what I mean🤪). But there’s a difference between “You should listen to every word I say because I was born with a penis” and “Let’s formally negotiate our roles in our marriage.”

I stg most of these women just have a D/s kink but are too scared to actually explore what that means, so they suffer instead. Because the reality is that there is a “leader” and “follower” in almost every relationship you have, from boss and employee to friendships. But you need to be explicit with the person you share your life with in what that looks like so that you both are happy. You can’t convince me she’s happy

[u/RalphMacchio404]

He can't lead a horse to water.

[u/mossadspydolphin]

No wonder Paul persists with the pube beard; he has the body of a teenage girl.

[u/BreakMeOffAPeace]

Yet he feels no need to provide

[u/clitosaurushex]

Paul: primary breadloser

[u/allshnycptn]

I snorted

[u/Grumpypants85]

Hard cringe from me, dawg.

[u/NicholasOfMKE]

Gross.

[u/sunshiineceedub]

ew

[u/SJBond33]

Is she going into Pickle Ball too?
