A woman shared a video of herself and wrote, “He begged me to stop cheating, but it’s literally just biology. As a woman, I can’t help but look for wealthy men to protect and provide for my offspring. Also, it does not mean anything anyway.


“He sent me a paragraph explaining how he felt, and I replied with, ‘idk what you want me to say rn,’” wrote one user in the overlaid text.

“When I started punching the ground and bawling my eyes out because I cheated,” another wrote.


Someone else joked about ghosting, captioning her video: “Made plans to meet him at 7 pm, so I switched my phone off at 6 pm.”

Women are often asked to compromise in their in-law's house even when they are not comfortable with the way they are treated. An influencer replied back to this age-old regressive tradition and said - “When a guy tells me his in-laws are mistreating him so i tell him marriage is all about compromise and he should learn to adjust for his happiness #womeninmaledominatedfields.”


Another video captioned: “He was crying in bed, so I said ‘here we go again’ and turned around and fell asleep.”

The comments section quickly lit up with users sharing similar experiences, including one person who wrote, “ARE WE ALL DATING THE SAME MEN?”

Another added, “This trend makes me realize I’ve never had a unique experience.”
