A man has sparked widespread discussion online after openly admitting that he avoids going home to his wife, choosing instead to sit in his car for hours after work.
In his candid confession, the man revealed that his marriage has become emotionally unbearable, explaining that he dislikes his wife so much that stepping into their shared home feels impossible. According to him, the only thing keeping the marriage intact is financial dependence.
“I can’t afford rent on my own, and she earns more than I do,” he admitted. “If I got a good job tomorrow, I would leave.”
He went on to explain that his nightly routine now involves sitting in his car for up to two hours, simply to delay returning home. “I hate her that much,” he said, adding that if he were financially stable, he believes he would be with a woman he truly desires instead of “settling.”
The man’s comments became even more controversial when he suggested that his wife should feel “lucky” to be with him, despite his resentment and lack of emotional connection. He also acknowledged that the situation is unhealthy and cannot continue indefinitely.
“Something has to give because I can’t keep living like this,” he confessed. “I could be with someone I actually want, but I refuse to overextend myself. I’m kind of comfortable being nothing.”
Since going viral, the confession has ignited intense debates across social media platforms. Many users have criticized the man for remaining in a marriage solely for financial security, calling it dishonest and emotionally harmful. Others, however, see the situation as a reflection of deeper societal issues, including economic pressure, power imbalance in relationships, and the stigma around men depending financially on their partners.
As conversations continue, the story has raised difficult questions about love, responsibility, and whether financial comfort can ever justify staying in a relationship devoid of respect and emotional connection.
