[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's not a "Mean Girl Husband", he's an a$$ hole. Honestly are you a teen, still calling adults "mean girls."?[/quote] It's a behavior, not a person. It's childish, so it's appropriate to call it out in adults. It can also be called relational aggression (using gossip, exclusion, teasing, and other underhanded or passive aggressive forms of bullying to ostracize people from a social group) but due to the popularity of the movie and musical "Mean Girls," which is about this behavior (and the the social psychology book they were based on), that's become the shorthand term for these behaviors. Just calling him an a$$hole doesn't capture it. Many people are a$$holes in a direct way -- they physically intimidate people or swear at them or whatever. What this guy is doing, what "mean girls" do, is something else that is harder to deal with specifically because it's indirect.[/quote]
