It's a stereotype, but it's one that isn't untrue.

I've noticed this behaviour in older people a lot more than with my peers.

But to be fair, they grew up with parents from a generation where divorce was illegal, rape was excused an disabled people used as guinea pigs. They did not come from a great situation

Last week I bought my wife flowers, just as a nice thing for when she got off work on a Tuesday. Sat down on the bus and the lady across from me leans over and says: You shouldn't've bothered.
Three....THREE other ladies nodded and mmhmmm'd.

It really pissed me off that the assumption was that I'd fucked up and made her mad somehow and was trying to smooth it over with flowers.

My wife was like this all the time. It was so exhausting and I couldn't keep track of what she was mad about anymore. Then she started accusing me of cheating on a regular basis.

Then I found the texts in her phone to multiple other guys. Pictures and everything. I bent over so far backwards for her to keep her happy and that's what happened.

Dumped her ass, got a new girlfriend that is radically different (she communicates) and I'm getting my life back on track. Restraining order in place. The future will be good.

When someone starts accusing their partner of cheating out of the blue, it can rather often mean they themselves have been cheating and are projecting their insecurity about it onto their non-cheating partner. I'm sorry you went through that, but it's great to hear you're in a better situation now.
