My husband has turned into an incel/troll

Anonymous
He listens to niche alt-right podcasts and is a twitter troll.

He cannot be reasoned with and he spews hateful rhetoric about women and minorities.

I promise he was not like this!! I don't know how much longer I can do this!

Divorce. If he doesn't respect women he doesn't respect you. Do you have kids? He's a terrible role model and you accepting it is a bad role model as well.

Why is he celibate?

If your husband is an incel, that’s on you. If you don’t know what incel means, also on you.

Why aren't you having sex?

Seems very odd to be an incel in a marriage. Usually the term is dead bedrooms.

Instead of arguing over whatever issue he's become crazy over, ask him to take an internet break. A complete break. No podcasts, no niche news sites, no Twitter, nothing. Ask him to stop for a month. And then have him pay attention to the changes.

If he can't or won't do that, yes I'd be looking to leave. The alt-right does not respect women, so your life will only get worse from here.

Mine turned this way after Trump. We ended up divorced.

Dont miss it at all. Being married to someone who hates you for being a woman is no way to live.

An incel is a man who can't get a woman and therefore is angry at all women because of course it's all their fault. Is that your husband? Seems like he got you, but maybe this version of him never would have gotten you?

This thread made me laugh really hard and really loud. I'm at a coffee shop and the people next to me are wondering if I'm mentally ill.

Incels are the introverted, low self esteem, unattractive guys that girls laughed at and made fun of, and most guys also shunned. They are typically only accepted by other rejects and misfits who no one really likes and everyone thinks is ugly / unattractive.

The rejection and bullying and exclusion combined with shyness and poor social skills and low self esteem and self loathing turns into anger at women. They want to have a girlfriend / wife but feel unlovable and unattrative and undesirable given all the hate and rejection they received. So they sit in their rooms getting angrier and angrier at the injustice in life. They are involuntarily celibate due to being rejected / undesirable by women.

Is that your husband?

It's hard to say without knowing what the comments are. Is he saying that bio-males shouldn't compete in women's sports or is he saying that women shouldn't vote?

If this is a drastic change, then take him to a doctor for a check up.

If he's just slowly changing his views, then talk to him about why. See if there's some way to meet on common ground before just divorcing. There are lots of couples with one R and one D. It's not like either side is 100% right or wrong. In real life, adults don't leave their spouse the second their views diverge.

I’m always amazed at the ease with which divorce is thrown around on DCUM. I think it’s just that misery loves company and these divorcées want everyone to be as bitter as they are.

He can only be an incel if you're not sleeping with him, OP. You do realize that, right? Incel means "involuntarily celibate."

I mean, I get how you might not find him attractive with that behavior. But I thought I'd point it out.

Ima guess OP doesn't know what incel means.

Maybe OP meant MRA instead of incel.
