In Which Robert Loves His Wife

[usmcmom]

Thanks, Doormat for the mention of Love, Joy, Feminism.

I quickly read through the post about Robert and decided to share his wife's response to show how "loved" she really is.

And YES, while I may not enjoy it, I do think discipline is essential. When I screw up something, I need to be called out. If it’s minor, a conversation will take care of it. If it’s big, then there needs to be a consequence. Do I like it? No, but that’s because it’s my own PRIDE and selfishness. No one wants to be told they messed up, but if we aren’t ever corrected, we don’t grow. We don’t learn from our mistakes. It has nothing to do with it being against God, it’s pride that says ‘you can’t discipline me’. When he screws up, I pray and leave it to God. If it is a major thing, then I take Jesus’ advice and would go to my pastor. That’s never been necessary, and in all honestly, my husband asks for accountability to me much more than I ever ask of him.

As is typical in Submissive marriages, she clearly states that when she makes a mistake she expects to be punished. When he "screws up," she simply prays about it. Didn't Ken express this very same double standard in one of his many posts about (justifying) porn use? If the husband is viewing porn, the wife is to shut up and pray about it. If the wife is viewing porn however, the man must punish her.

I don't know of anything in the Bible that states a woman's sins require earthly punishment but a man's are to be left to prayer from his wife.

Did Robert seriously rate himself as a 10? I must have missed that part of the post.

I did catch the part where he considers Amanda a 6. I think she's quite pretty.

I'm not going to pick on his looks, but if he really ranked himself that high while giving his wife a lower number, that's quite low even for him.

Well, maybe he rated himself a "9." He made it clear that he's much better looking than she is, in his mind. He's also mentioned how often women come onto him. When someone brought up the "6" ranking recently on his blog, he clarified by saying "I once said that the world would consider her a 6....."

Um...because that's better?

[usmcmom]

Sorry to dominate this thread, everybody, but here's where Robert explains his rating of Amanda.

Nice to be able to match faces with names (if Amanda’s a 6 I’m reading the charts wrong). You know my name, but since there are already a few Rebecca’s here I’ll stick with Timea.

Looking forward to your coming posts. Boring or not.

I said the world would judge her as a 6 when we married. I’ve judged her at a 10…and I’m one of the lucky fellows whose wife gets truly prettier (not just prettier in the eye of the beholder) with each passing year. She just rolls her eyes at me in good sport when I tell her she’s beautiful several times a day…

Can anybody explain the difference between "I'd rate my wife a 6." and "When we got married, the world would have judged my wife a 6." ??????

"Robert" is totally a poe.

He's so far over all the fucking edges his purpose is clear.

Antagonize FJ. Period. End. Of. Story.

I guess we all gotta' have something.

I have noticed a recent pattern in his posts lately. It seems every few posts he throws in a "Femenism is Evil" rant just to fetch some commens and get some hits.

But he has also been posting alot about how great he is lately. Rescuing dogs, feeding homeless, and now he is donating to a women's shelter... how convenient.

It doesn't seem to be working. He receives very few comments these days. If he had any supporters left, surely he'd publish their comments.

Every time Amanda notices his traffic numbers and gives him the side-eye that means "this is why you were too busy to do the Walmart run, huh? Your 11 readers?"

[thoughtful]

7. Do something to protect her. Switch hands you are holding so you are walking next to the scary dude on the sidewalk. Put an extra lock on the door. Take her to the gun range.

So basically Robert is walking next to himself on the sidewalk?? Because he's the scariest guy in his wife's life...

He's beside himself! :D

He says one should pray "Outloud."

Outloud, eh?

Some stories for you, Chiffarobe Clod.

...and all the Christians cringe and hope Christ is doing a better job of loving the church. How does one love their wife sacrificially? Bob's so glad you asked.

Sacrificial, Christ-like love, y'all. Known to us heathens as the basic tasks of adulthood and a bare minimum of positive interaction with one's partner and children.

I would consider most of these the bare minimum of what I'd expect from a husband. Hell, the asshole I'm married to is getting better about this shit (might be because he's finally realizing what he screwed up as HE cools his heels in a homeless shelter and I'm living in our gorgeous home over 300 miles away).

Armoire Ass does not impress me...I'd be way too inclined to tell him where to get off (come to think of it, I think I did)

#5 always gets to me. Guys who see taking care of their own children as a favor are grade-A assholes.

[DGayle]

Also I didn't do the dishes last night because I wasn't feeling well. My husband, who also isn't feeling so swell, woke up early today to do them before work so I can have a break since I would be the one taking care of the home and kids while he was at work. He does things like this all the time because he sees it as him contributing to our household, not as a favor.

[jerkit]

Sometimes I do have moments with both lori and robert where I think "it's all a lie. POE!"

[nelliebelle1197]

I looked this couple up. They got married two weeks after me (2011) and are already expecting their THIRD child. Holy sweet baby infant Jeeebus NO.

And note that Robert Staddon is David Waller's great bosom...buddy.

This is a really weird comment from boobert:

Bill/Charlie,

Congrats on 41 years. Yes, most of these things should be daily and weekly things. But they aren’t for many of my readers. Love, sacrifice, submission, giving…these are not as common as you’d think and it’s not hard to look around and see that in most family’s and marriages. You are still on a short leash Bill/Charlie as far as commenting. Have a great day. Robert

It's like he's humping to exert his dominance.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, Robert! You make me laugh. Kind of like my daughter did when she was in seventh grade and got mad at her friends.

Except she outgrew it. :?

That man is I credibly nuts. He is going on today about all the good charitable stuff he does. I am going to try and find something I read the other day Where Pope Francis was speaking about how many people go about quietly doing good for others. He was encouraging people to serve others in their everyday life, quietly without looking for recognition. Interesting contrast.

Each time my husband or I manages to do something nice we yell "Gotta put it on Facebook!" We really don't post about it, but we sure get tired of people who DO post their good deeds. Of course, they usually end their tale with "I'm so glad the Lord was guiding me to perform this act of kindness."

Robert is so desperately trying to prove he's not who he originally said he was. I don't know why he can't be content to just let people in his little corner of the world notice that he's a nice guy. Why does he have to proclaim it to both of his fans all the time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Regarding his comment to Bill/Charlie: Just who are Robert's friends that he sees so many horrible marriages? I know the Alexanders are in his (bloggy friend) circle so that explains a little of it, but geesh, between Robert and Klorien, they sure hang out with some dysfunctional people!

An article came across my fb feed today which had nothing to do with FJ, but it did contain this, which I found quite enlightening and was convicted to share with my fellow FJers. It's like fundies read this chart and put it into action, which is quite frightening, IMO.

According to the article:

The diagram was originally designed by a domestic abuse charity to help women identify when they are being abused, and has sections entitled 'use male privilege' and 'use isolation'.

[Doormat12345]

Didn't L Ron mention he had set of Blueprints lying around. Jeez What a horrible excuse for a human being.

[moodygirl86]

Uh Robert, are you expecting thanks for doing those things on your list. Because most people would do all those things anyway, without considering it a sacrifice. I'm glad I'm not married to you. Though I tell you what, if you were English, I'd wonder if you were my best mate's dad who's also called Robert and is married to an Amanda. This guy is every bit as lazy and self-centred as you are.

[Burris]

Oh, Robert, your mundane acts of decency - those things most couples do for one another as a matter of habit - are not evidence of "sacrificial love." They're proof you're not always an asshole.

When a man splits his paltry food with his toddler - and gives that toddler the larger piece - that is sacrificial love. (It's not smart, for several reasons, but it's love beyond Robert's comprehension.)

Because my husband is a better person than me - no; he really, objectively is a better human being than me - I hesitate to call the help he requires a "sacrifice." But sitting beside a husband's bed for untold hours waiting for his lungs to heal after a damned near inexplicable (and just about as unsurvivable) pulmonary failure - waiting hour after hour, day after day, week after week - MONTH after MONTH - before the doctors allow him to regain consciousness...and knowing, all that time, that the woman in the room nearby is vegetative while her husband waits for some proof of life, which the doctors assure him will never come - that is sacrificial love. When he finally came to realize the futility of his situation, he did the honorable thing and ended it. That is sacrificial love.

Every damn one of them -- CM did every damn one of those things and was PROUD of doing them.

[Hisey]

Don't forget that prior posts and comments revealed that Robert had overturned a table, once, when he was mad at his wife.

He also posted that he thinks slapping his wife is OK and that fear is a good thing.

I guess these things are part of sacrificial love.

[memabelle]

Congrats Robert for doing things for your wife that any decent human being might do for anyone they cared about in even a slight capacity, much less the person they chose to spend the rest of their lives with because, I don't know, that person is THE most important person in his life. Doing decent things for your wife that a majority of men around the world - including non-Christians I'm sure! - do for their wives does not make you NOT an abuser.

Also count me as a person who absolutely hates when a man wants to be thanked for watching his own kids. They're YOUR kids - it's your effing job.
