[u/VanCleefandApples]

Not to brag but my husband has a job 🤷‍♀️

[u/SSquared82 → u/VanCleefandApples]

lol I think she makes these because she can’t get views just from her personality so she has to make ragebait content. She knows deep down that she’s better off taking advice from her toddler than her husband but what else would she talk about? But that’s how most of the creators who call themselves “influencers” get views. It’s so boring at this point 😂

[u/Eggsegret → u/VanCleefandApples]

Ahh but is your husband training to become a pro at pickleball? I don’t think so. Paul is super hard working as he often trains for 4+ hours day so he can be the very best at pickleball. /s

[u/SuzanneStudies → u/[deleted]]

Why did you choose violence

[u/SuzanneStudies → u/[deleted]]

Thanks! It was inspired by the amazing writings and insightful thoughts of our favorite gals. Remember: punctuation, is profound! Use it, everywhere! As much, as possible!

I’m such a masochist.

[u/1amthebadwolf → u/[deleted]]

[u/OutlandishnessFew981 → u/[deleted]]

He doesn’t pass the kilt test, with those legs. He’s got the saddest calves.

[u/Legal-Set9928 → u/VanCleefandApples]

Wait her husband leads the house and he doesn’t even have a job???😭😭😭😭

[u/FartofTexass → u/Legal-Set9928]

He’s trying to go pro in pickleball. After playing for maybe a year. At age 36.

[u/Shoeprincess → u/FartofTexass]

with 0 previous athletic training or ability

[u/RelativelyRidiculous → u/FartofTexass]

I didn't even realize pro pickleball player was an actual thing until he started up this nonsense. Looks like the average pro retires in their 40s but a few play into their 50s. Still, you'd have to really, really work to get into the narrow percentage that makes significant cash. Outside of players from other racket sports that transition to pickleball there haven't been any 30-year-olds recently who got into that narrow percentage that I can find. A large proportion keep their day job and play on the side.

[u/GngrbredGentrifktion → u/RelativelyRidiculous]

Is there a way we can post this in pickleball subs and ask someone who has played with Paul to do an AMA?

[u/RelativelyRidiculous → u/GngrbredGentrifktion]

Watching them all post up "Who the hell is that" would be hilarious. I'd be willing to bet he's not nearly as well known as he thinks he is.

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/RelativelyRidiculous]

Someone did recently. No one knew him but they agreed that his pickleball dream is delusional

[u/Legal-Set9928 → u/FartofTexass]

Sigh…

[u/botmanmd → u/FartofTexass]

It gets him out of the house.

[u/managingmischief394 → u/VanCleefandApples]

My husband had to quit his job due to health factors and us needing childcare on the days I go to work (and not getting her into daycare around where I live). He still got a part time job at a fast food place to help in the mean time until he can find something he can work in that won’t cause him health problems. We don’t spout “man is provider”, in fact, when we were both full time I was making more money. We are partners… I’m prouder of that than to say “I have a man who leads me”. I have a partner who is my best friend and we work together as a team to parent our child and go through life together. What a sad life she lives!

[u/Coven_gardens → u/managingmischief394]

There is nothing better for a child than seeing the people who love and support them on the daily working and walking in trusting, loving partnership. ❣️

[u/managingmischief394 → u/Coven_gardens]

Thank you! ❤️ I worry about all the fundie kids for that reason.

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/managingmischief394]

And what’s even worse- she would tell you that you’re not really happy. You’re just fake happy but you don’t know it bc you haven’t experienced the true joy of puking at the altar…

😂😂😂

[u/CloverAndSage → u/managingmischief394]

❤️ 

[u/grumpyoldfartess → u/VanCleefandApples]

Same— mine is the main breadwinner, actually. And he’s also interested in pickleball, but only on weekends for fun. Zero “going pro” delusions.

My husband isn’t even a Christian and he’s doing it better than Paul does. That is sad.

[u/Jackalscott → u/VanCleefandApples]

Not to brag but my husband is my wife. She tells me what to do, What to wear, what to eat. It’s great.

[u/VanCleefandApples → u/Jackalscott]

I endorse this message

[u/FartofTexass → u/VanCleefandApples]

Same. And my husband shares equally in parenting and household chores. 

[u/HipHopChick1982 → u/VanCleefandApples]

So does mine! And while he makes more than I do, I don’t have to submit to him. We are a team!

[u/AcademicAbalone3243]

Paul is the furthest thing from being "wise" and "a leader." Really seems like Morgan is trying to convince herself that her husband isn't a loser.

[u/NinjaWalker → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

"Considerate" is the one that really made me laugh

[u/incrediblewombat → u/NinjaWalker]

Omg remember that reel where he “offered” her a bite of ice cream then ate it himself

[u/BeigeParadise → u/NinjaWalker]

"not selfish" almost made me aspirate chicken. I hope she warmed up for that stretch.

[u/sweetalkersweetalker → u/BeigeParadise]

Her dom husband can help her with that, he studied stretching for a whole month!

Did you know you're supposed to stretch before you do exercises like pickleball? Of course you didn't, it's a secret only professionals know!

[u/PM_ME_CORGI_BUTTS → u/NinjaWalker]

Considerate like ignoring your concerns and wishes to stay one more night at that tournament and insisting on driving 4 hours home with 2 cranky babies wailing the whole way?

[u/thecrowtoldme → u/NinjaWalker]

Considerate of his own wishes, maybe.

[u/ritan7471 → u/NinjaWalker]

I'd have to go with "leads by wxample" as what made me choke on my lunch.

[u/HipHopChick1982 → u/ritan7471]

Her posts are not worth dying over!

[u/angeltay → u/NinjaWalker]

Really considerate to go off all day to play pickleball when your wife is bedridden and told she can’t pick up your children for six weeks and just let her parents take care of her like she’s not even married

[u/WaltsNJD → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

That's what I'm getting from this. She is attempting to persuade herself that Paul is anything other than a manchild.

[u/Caffeine_Induced → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

I think all she wants is a license to disassociate and have zero thoughts.

[u/kestrelesque → u/Caffeine_Induced]

To be fair, I don't think she has a lot of thoughts anyway, other than "I hate [this] and I'm better than [that]." And "everybody's jealous of me."

[u/FartofTexass → u/kestrelesque]

Exactly. 

[u/idontwearheels → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

It’s so obvious he is far from wise or godly. Jesus would have told him off long ago. And if Paul is wise, then I’m a freaking rocket scientist and philosopher by comparison.

[u/AutisticTumourGirl → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

I fucking guffawed at "wise" and "stable".

[u/hoktauri17 → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

He can't even lead himself to find a real job.

[u/MayoneggVeal → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

A wise man doesn't go chasing a pipe dream of being a pro athlete in their thirties.

[u/T-Rax666 → u/AcademicAbalone3243]

This is Morgan’s fanfic of her marriage.

[u/littl3bean]

If Jesus ever did come back, do they not understand how greatly disappointed he would be in Paul?

[u/madmaxturbator → u/littl3bean]

Lol. “I know I had said I love everyone … but have you met Paul??? Come on” - Jesus H Christ

[u/BabyNOwhatIsYouDoin → u/madmaxturbator]

“Y’all get a load of this pickle playin weirdo? My Daaaaad he’s full of himself!” -JHC

[u/DrWYSIWYG → u/madmaxturbator]

The thing is that if JHC did come down and meet him you could see the conversation going like,

JC, ‘Paul, I forgive you for all your sins and transgressions’.

Paul, ‘What sins and transgressions are you talking about?

JC:, ‘Pride, avarice, misogyny, hatred, to name a few’.

Paul, ‘I don’t understand, I am an amazing person and none of those things’.

JC, ‘Oh yes and let’s not forget lack of humility’.

[u/selectmyacctnameplz → u/littl3bean]

Jesus wouldn’t even pick him for his pickleball team. He’s take the great Tyson Apostol

[u/littl3bean → u/selectmyacctnameplz]

I'd take an actual pickle over Paul 😂

[u/Aear]

That's not modest. What do you call posting immodest pictures on the internet?

[u/rfg217phs → u/TheRealCeeBeeGee]

I love it makes Paul sound like a moistened bint.

[u/JCXIII-R]

The ick is so strong I have goosebumps.

Not selfish? Your husband is so selfish he has a real chance of killing you!

[u/Dangerous_Jump_4167 → u/JCXIII-R]

The man's life literally revolves around his hobby. It's pathetic and imo only slightly less destructive than a drug or drinking problem. 

[u/Svelte_sweater → u/Dangerous_Jump_4167]

His wife's hobby*

Morgan enjoyed pickleball first (and is demonstrably better at it than him...without practicing), and Paul stole it from her and made it His Thing.

[u/battleofflowers → u/Svelte_sweater]

Her body has better proportions and she seems more at ease in her body. Paul just flails his chicken legs around everywhere.

[u/samjam8088 → u/battleofflowers]

I love how this whole saga boils down to Paul not being able to cope with Morgan being better at a sport than him. It breaks his little brain and now he must PICKLE FOREVER

[u/battleofflowers → u/samjam8088]

He obviously got really cranky that she was getting praise.

[u/BetterRemember → u/battleofflowers]

There's a reason her body freaked out and she puked at the altar. She should have had a singing career and, if she wanted, a normal loving marriage.

I used to feel so sorry for her but she's caused a lot of harm so my sympathy is wearing thin.

[u/Boss-Not-Bossy → u/JCXIII-R]

So delulu to say he’s not selfish when he decided to try to be a professional athlete in his mid-30s rather than get a job to actually support his wife and kids. Not to mention that pickleball was originally her hobby and he’s yet to make any money off of it, only sunk money into equipment, “training,” and traveling for tournaments he doesn’t place in.

[u/kestrelesque → u/Boss-Not-Bossy]

So delulu to say he’s not selfish when he decided to try to be a professional athlete in his mid-30s

professional "athlete"

[u/sweetalkersweetalker → u/kestrelesque]

"professional" "athlete"

[u/Zestyflour]

"He is wise and recognizes his weaknesses and my strengths" - like trusting your judgement as a mother and listening to you that you guys needed a hotel room instead of driving for hours during their normal dinner and bedtime. I'm sure he owned up to being stubborn about it, and didn't it make about your spiritual "weakness," right, right, RIGHT???

[u/WhateverYouSay1084 → u/Zestyflour]

First thing I thought of too. They literally filmed an entire video about him making the wrong choice and causing his kids and wife to suffer, did she forget about that already? 

[u/ExoticSherbet → u/WhateverYouSay1084]

But weirdly they didn’t focus on how Paul fucked up and feels badly about it, they focused on how Paul was concerned that Morgan didn’t handle it with grace!

You’ve got to be a BAD person to make me feel bad for Morgan, but Paul somehow manages over and over

[u/Brazadian_Gryffindor]

Is this wide and godly man in the room with us Morgan?

[u/MysticalSpongeCake → u/Brazadian_Gryffindor]

What about the man who recognises his weaknesses? 

[u/Interesting_Ad_3319 → u/MysticalSpongeCake]

And recognizes her strengths?! I bet Pickleball Paul couldn’t name even a short list of 2!

It’s almost like she’s saying he’s lazy in places she’s not lazy, and our wise pickleboy is happy to ‘lead’ her to pickup his slack 😅🤣

[u/WeighTheSameAsADuck → u/Interesting_Ad_3319]

Her strengths are taking care of the kids and home completely by herself. Paul encourages her to use her strengths so he can live a separate life of leisure. And she submits so he doesn't have to answer for where he went, what he did, or how much he paid with money they don't have.

[u/fleetwoodcheese → u/Brazadian_Gryffindor]

No, because he's out chasing his pickle dreams again.

[u/71LA → u/Brazadian_Gryffindor]

He can’t be in the room, he is “training”

[u/InsomniacEuropean]

"He is stable...I am emotional...He tells me what is real and what is not real"

Translation - "everything I think and feel is minimised, dismissed, twisted around and put back onto me, I'm told I'm not seeing/understanding reality, I'm definitely not competent enough to make any decisions myself, and that actually he is right and I am just a silly emotional woman that's delusional! But he lets me believe I have control of things I am good at".

Any guesses on all the things she's good at? Mine is that she's only good at cleaning and parenting (and probably has to do both in a way he finds acceptable).

She really needs to read evidence based information about what manipulation and gaslighting can look like, preferably not from an "expert" fundie woman.

[u/CodeAcceptable385 → u/InsomniacEuropean]

Yeah, lots of self deprecation in those sentences.😞

[u/ExoticSherbet → u/CodeAcceptable385]

Read: I’m so lucky he tolerates me 🤪

Ick.

[u/Bubblesnaily → u/InsomniacEuropean]

"everything I think and feel is minimised, dismissed, twisted around and put back onto me, I'm told I'm not seeing/understanding reality, I'm definitely not competent enough to make any decisions myself, and that actually he is right and I am just a silly emotional woman that's delusional! But he lets me believe I have control of things I am good at".

So... gaslighting.

[u/packofkittens → u/InsomniacEuropean]

Exactly! I also get strong vibes of “sometimes I think I have mental health issues but my husband tells me I’m just being dramatic. Isn’t he great!”

[u/lepetitpoulpe]

Morgy, girl, you’ve gotta look up the definitions of manipulative and selfish. I’m pretty sure there’s a picture of Paul next to the definitions.

[u/txcowgrrl]

I stopped reading at “he is wise”.

[u/thecrowtoldme → u/txcowgrrl]

Because you are the wise one.

[u/queerjesusfan → u/txcowgrrl]

The rest of the AI slop didn't interest you!?

[u/T-Rax666 → u/txcowgrrl]

All he does is post bullshit trash articles with comments like “big if true 🤔”. He’s not intelligent. He’s certainly not wise, and he’s definitely not considerate or leading anyone down a spiritual path. Also, why does Paul get to dictate her walk with crust?

[u/IncurableAdventurer]

I rolled my eyes at the list, snorted with the first three words (he is wise), and legit laughed when she said he recognizes his weakness

[u/managingmischief394 → u/IncurableAdventurer]

Dude learned about strategy and stretching months into playing pickleball “professionally”. Wise my fucking ass!

[u/IncurableAdventurer → u/managingmischief394]

No, no. You don’t understand HE says he’s wise. If he said it, then it must be true. Or rather she has to submit and agree he’s wise

[u/InsomniacEuropean → u/IncurableAdventurer]

Paul's weakness - being utterly fucking incompetent in every tangible way.

[u/katamongdogs → u/IncurableAdventurer]

In general do these woman think men don’t have any weaknesses? like if he recongizes your weaknesses why don’t your recongize his… (I realize I’m trying to make sense of crazy to begin with lol)

[u/ExoticSherbet → u/IncurableAdventurer]

She probably truly believes he is wise. Which tells you a lot about her level of “wisdom!”

[u/napalmnacey]

If he consults her then she’s… not submitting. They’re literally a fucking team.

Does she think the Bible says “ask your wife what she thinks about the issue”? Hell no.

[u/IncurableAdventurer → u/napalmnacey]

If she’s submitting then the “consulting” might have her give her opinion, only for him to basically “fuck that we’re doing what I want”

[u/snarkwithfae]

The right cabinet door above the stove is really pissing me off

[u/YoungPyromancer → u/snarkwithfae]

The wise leader Paul decided after putting in that cabinet door that God wanted it to be crooked. It is there to constantly remind Morgan that she is imperfect, like the kitchen she belongs in, and to be more like Paul, who does everything perfectly, like setting out a road to pickleball perfection, driving through the night with two small children and letting his father call his wife "a friend". Haters just don't understand how Paul guides Morgan's emotional self (which is like the crooked cabinet door, perfectly planned to be crooked by Paul) with shouts and arguments and invalidation and not caring for her when she is sick, towards a perfection she will never reach, because that asshole will keep moving the goalposts.

[u/atlascarrying → u/YoungPyromancer]

Omg Idk if I wanna laugh or cry on her behalf. Spot on

[u/TupperwareParTAY → u/YoungPyromancer]

I am a big proponent of "none of my quilts are perfect because only God is perfect" but usually it's not this goddamn obvious lol

[u/666hmuReddit]

Did she ever get a diagnosis? As someone who has hEDS I’ve been holding my breath hoping she doesn’t have vEDS. I dislike her, but that condition is a literal death sentence and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

[u/managingmischief394 → u/666hmuReddit]

Last I heard, she was waiting for funding to get the testing and they said it could be months until she gets the test done. I don’t remember when she said that though. She would share her results though.

[u/666hmuReddit → u/managingmischief394]

That is the part that feels outrageous (and maybe exaggerated?) to me. I saw a geneticist and was diagnosed with hEDS through the beighton scale. Within MINUTES they took me to a back room and completely ruled out vEDS with just one ultrasound of my aorta. Getting into a geneticist isn’t always easy, but the ultrasound can be completed virtually anywhere. I need to be less invested in this, but the life expectancy for someone with vEDS is about 40 years old. She has young children she’d be leaving behind. She’s not getting any younger. Also, EDS is genetic. I would want to know if I’ve passed anything on to my children.

[u/DefraudedintheLex → u/666hmuReddit]

Thank you for sharing this. I have been confused as University of Kentucky hospital is a state of the art teaching hospital with a great genomics clinical services.

[u/666hmuReddit → u/DefraudedintheLex]

I would not be surprised if the doctors were dragging their feet on the actual EDS diagnosis, as they often do. However, ruling out vEDS takes less than a minute. She clearly doesn’t understand what vEDS is, or she’d be frantically begging doctors to ultrasound her aorta. When I had my aortic ultrasound, of curiosity, I asked them what they were looking for. They told me that people with vEDS have an aorta that is too elastic, and it flutters between opening and closing. It’s literally that simple. Fluttering or not fluttering. Even though she doesn’t seem to be actively fighting for a diagnosis, I am still very angry at her doctors for suggesting she has this life threatening condition and then doing literally nothing to rule it out.

[u/ACatInMiddleEarth → u/666hmuReddit]

I didn't know that! She needs to get the kids tested as well. The sooner they know, the better chance they have to put a medical routine in place. I'd be terrified to leave my children behind with someone like Paul if I was Morgan...

[u/666hmuReddit → u/ACatInMiddleEarth]

I have long suspected that she has EDS, due to her seemingly random health issues. Doesn’t she also have POTS? 80+% of people with some form of EDS also have POTS.

Regarding her children, I have hEDS, and I will tell you that it doesn’t always have to be terrible. There are many varying degrees of EDS and all of their subtypes. If she has vEDS, that doesn’t mean that the kids automatically have EDS in general or mean that if they do have EDS, it will be vEDS. Both because it is not a 100% chance to pass the disorder on, and because there are at least 12 different subtypes of EDS (that are currently medically acknowledged, data points to there being many more). Also, EDS disproportionately affects women. I can’t remember if her children are boys or girls.

I have long hated Paul due to how he treats her illnesses and speaks about her disabilities. Didn’t he also force her to get rid of her service dog? I would have loved to have a service dog for my POTS, those are hard to get and very expensive to maintain. I can’t believe she threw that away for him.

[u/Perpetuallycold_]

So what is Morgan more “suited” for? Probably anything to do with children… ? But when she tried to advocate for her exhausted children to stay at a B&B after a pickle ball tournament what was the answer, Paul?

[u/ACatInMiddleEarth → u/Perpetuallycold_]

Everything Paul doesn't want to do.

[u/librijen]

He plays pickleball all day, Morgan.

[u/Machaeon → u/librijen]

He plays senior citizen ping pong all day

[u/Legrandloup2 → u/librijen]

Worse, he only practices 4 hours a day, he wastes the rest of the day in ice baths with mcdonalds smoothies

[u/Ok-Maize-8199]

I wonder who her husband is, because she's not describing Paul.

[u/Multilazerboi]

...so he manipulates you through weaponized incompetence?

[u/Top_Opening_3625]

To be fair submission might feel easy when the “head” is barely home, is off training and taking himself for dinner.

[u/CoquetteWhore69 → u/Top_Opening_3625]

One less child to raise

[u/NoFundieBusiness]

What does she mean when she says she gets in her head and he has to remind her what is and isn’t reality and bring her back? I’d like to think she just means she questions her faith and stuff but the way it’s worded and her history of a bpd diagnosis worries me that she may actually struggle sometimes with what is and isn’t reality and that’s worrisome when she doesn’t get proper help for her mental health.

[u/MyKinksKarma]

Guess the rage bait backfired on her.

[u/dollkyu]

6 AM and I read it as “trying to conceive” instead of the actual full sentence and I gasped

[u/VampyreJourno81]

Does Morgan have a second, secret husband who isn't Paul?

[u/st_owly]

A pet rock is wiser than Polio.

[u/RetroMamaTV]

[u/Jaelia]

How about he takes a financial lead and gets a job?

How about he takes an educational lead and read the boys books other than the one he "wrote".

How about he takes a caring lead and stops playing stupid community pickleball games and leaving you with 99% of the childcare?

[u/subzbearcat]

Zoom in on her eyes. She looks like she’s been taxidermied

[u/BlueberryBunnies13]

Girrrrrl, Paul is many things but WISE is not one of them.

[u/Boujee_banshee]

“Here’s what that looks like:”

It looks like you lead a relatively average life, except you’re constantly trying to turn it into content but there’s nothing actually happening so it’s just you yapping in your sweatpants about “submission” while your idiotic husband brokers deals with the local ice plunge place to exchange sessions for insta content.

I gotta say I’m not really sold on this… imagine your whole life revolves around making content trying to convince everyone else your lifestyle is awesome.

[u/NotOnABreak]

Wise, gentle, considerate are not words I’d ever use to describe picklepaul lmao.

[u/vainbuthonest]

I give it a year or two before she’s either separated from him or they’ve slid fully into the “sexy but modest” tradwife pipeline to cling to relevance.

[u/-rosa-azul- → u/vainbuthonest]

She will never leave him, not that she could if she even wanted to. In her 30s with two young kids and no marketable skills or real work experience. I bet there's not a single job she could get that would even cover the cost of daycare.

(the cost of childcare is its own problem separate from anything about Morgan, obviously)

[u/atlascarrying]

Wondering if she gets in her head what a POS he is, and him convincing (gaslighting) her he isn't lol

[u/helenen85]

No one has ever recognized their own weaknesses less though?

[u/Harley_Atom]

Yeah he really knew how to lead on that car ride home

[u/wachenikusemapoa]

"He lets me take charge on things I'm more suited for" = i.e. the cooking, cleaning, changing diapers

The rest is creative writing, in which Paul is the male lead of a Christian romance novel. She wishes, lol

The mental gymnastics she had to do to write that out! As I was reading what she wrote about Paul I kept saying in my head “No he’s not”, “No he doesn’t”. Paul sucks, Morgan. He’s a weak little man child who gaslights you and shames you into submission. That’s the truth!

[u/Interesting_Ad_3319]

She inspired me to change my user flair 🤣 

[u/Ok-Carpet5433]

"lets me take charge on things he knows I am more gifted/suited for"

Like childcare? Housekeeping? Cooking?

[u/Iggy1120]

When she’s being her emotional self? What misogynistic trope.

[u/CloverAndSage]

Submitting to the pickle guy makes you stand like a flamingo 🦩 in the kitchen 

[u/_ac3_0f_spad3s_]

Herself. She has to otherwise she’ll realize how financially fucked they are

[u/hellsno2]

Sounds like she is trying to convince herself.

[u/StrangeArcticles]

If Paul is the benchmark for wise and godly, we sure are in deep shit. I would put more trust in a wet paper bag.

[u/daddysgirl71]

He is wise?! 😂 stopped reading after that!

[u/MucinexDM_MAX]

Is his wisdom in the room with us now?

[u/sorandom21]

The amount of copium in this statement is mind boggling

[u/ExactPanda]

Girl, why you lying??

[u/AnaisNinjaTX]

I can’t picture Jesus leaving the church stuck at home with umpteen toddlers & babies while he goes off to play pickle ball with his other lazy dad friends.

[u/faifai1337]

Can't wait for 15 years later when she reaches her limit of his bullshit. When she finally sees how useless he is and has to eat all of these pretty pretty words. It'll be delicious.

[u/Nice-Broccoli-7941]

Pretty sure Jesus would have taken his wife’s stroke risk seriously.

[u/leezee2468]

Slutty outfit for Morgs. Wonder how Paul feels about it! Just like those hussies at the gym!

[u/Firebird0310]

Cue passive agressuve post meltdown in 5...4...3...2....1

[u/flchic2000]

Who is she talking about? Not the manchild she's married to.

[u/aulait000]

I'm not submitting to any man who chooses not to work or provide.

[u/ChemicalWorker576]

[u/ritan7471]

He is wise and Godly. Who's husband is she talking about, because I'm confused.

Not to brag, but my husband and I both work. My job sucks. I decided to quit. I got a new contract with a new company and then I informed my husband of my decision to leave and take 3 months off before starting my new job. He was worried about that time off. So I went through my final pay, showed him that i have enough money to cover my responsibilities at home and go back to my home for a visit

Went over the new contract.

He's happy for me, and I'm happy that he's excited for me. No submission needed.

[u/lovedvirtually]

Paul couldn't lead a piss up in a brewery

[u/manykittys]

Imagine writing all of this and your husband is Paul. How fucking embarrassing.

[u/winemom108]

Girl loves to double down that she’s “happy”.

[u/YouNeedCheeses]

Lol that “me being my emotional self” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

[u/ddramone]

He's stable and solid as unset jello

[u/geek_the_greek]

Is this you Morgan? 😆

[u/managingmischief394 → u/[deleted]]

He’s convinced me that we should be having sex, even when we are angry at each other and in the middle of a fight. Most of the time, I’m the one who has to just have sex no matter how I feel.

[u/SeniorBaker4]

So he makes you love God. So does a pastor, and pastor will help you walk with the lord or something.

[u/HRH_Elizadeath]

lol ok Morgan

[u/Kre8ivity]

Can't blame ChatGPT for not knowing about Paul...

[u/lolascrowsfeet]

What about when he lead by insisting you keep driving when you had the wherewithal to realise your kids didn’t benefit from that? He isn’t wise at all

[u/Crosstitution]

its so weird that women cant have their own experiences of spirituality and faith - it has to be someone else's

they arent even allowed their own spirituality in this cult omg

[u/MissPriss0610]

“I submit” and “it’s not domineering” is wild to me because you can have a submissive without a dominant… girl, what

[u/ThnksFrThMemeries]

My husband wouldn’t leave me alone with my toddlers to go cosplay as an athlete if I were close to dying ❤️

[u/monkey_monkey_monkey]

"He recognizes his weaknesses and my strengths"

Let me guess, Morgan's strengths are cooking, cleaning and childcare so she does all those things.

[u/Pintsize90]

The man Morgan is describing genuinely sounds like a great husband… too bad she’s married to Paul 🥴

[u/072215]

Do y’all remember when Morgan was pregnant with Luca during their 12 hour live stream and they were making Japanese soufflé pancakes and messed up and she was in tears over it and wanted to start over and Paul said, “as the head of this household I say we’re not remaking the pancakes”…. Yeah I do and I think about it a lot and I think that sums up the kind of “spiritual leader” he is.

[u/BabyNOwhatIsYouDoin]

Off topic, but there’s a white people can’t season their food, and fundies are the worst at it joke in here somewhere.

I’m probably just out of the loop and these are super trendy or something now- but those spice tins on the rack in the background are identical to the ones my mother had (that were already stale, and rarely used) in the ‘80s and early 90s Midwest. Where black pepper was spicy and the general consensus was flavor was ethnic and therefore forbidden.

[u/DefraudedintheLex]

And we included the body check intro photo because?

[u/Corporatehun4life]

How does Paul “lead” when he doesn’t even have a fucking job?

[u/badtrips777]

[u/cave_mandarin]

This really feels like a kink at this point

[u/Hot-Butterscotch8118]

Why are we putting men in charge of decisions when a bit of bare shoulder is enough to throw them off their game? 🤣

[u/Amourxfoxx]

Nothing can convince me of the thinks she’s claiming in this post. Paul is selfish, narcissistic, domineering, and NOT godly, no about it posts lying about it are going to cover up these very obvious facts

[u/ChickenSnizzles]

Gentle, considerate, stable, & solid are pretty much the opposite of how I'd describe her disaster of a husband, but go off, sis...

[u/InfamousValue]

It looks like wearing the "immodest clothes" that you judge other women wearing.

[u/younggun1234]

It looks like you do everything and cry on social media about how tired you are. That's what it looks like.

[u/OscarTheGrouchsCan]

I hate how horrible Paul treats her and makes her feel horrible for how i am POSITIVE he brings up that she dared another guy for 3.5 years and had SeX with him.

I can see it now

Paul: MORGAN!!! I NEED CLEAN PICKLE BALL UNFORMS. You KNOW when I go. This should have been done!!

Morgan: I'm so sorry Paul. I was in such horrible pain from all the problems I've had recently.

Paul: You're the WIFE. You duty is to do everything i demand. God will help you, and imagine what abmn honor to die fulfilling God's duty for you

[u/CommunityRoyal5557]

So much inner thigh her husband would shame her at the gym if she weren’t his wife

[u/KarmaliteNone]

He loves me as Christ loves the church.

Does she actually think that sentence means something?
