Don't roam around the country with a man that's not your husband: a lesson of the Gabby Petito case
September 20, 2021 | me

Posted on 09/20/2021 8:02:05 PM PDT by karpov

A woman marries a man when she trusts him and expects to have a lifelong relationship with him (and vice versa). If a woman has not reached a level of trust and commitment with a man to make him her husband, she should also not roam around the country with him. When a young woman is murdered, it is often because she is leaving a boyfriend. She is especially at risk if she is far away from family and friends.

What I have written would have been considered common sense 60 years ago but is now attached as judgmental or victim-blaming. Well, I will give my daughter the same advice, to which she can listen or not, as an adult.

RIP, Gabby.

So true. I remember a time not so long ago drivers on the road were courteous. Now if you use your horn to warn a driver of their mistake they flip you off.

I’m guessing all women not married should self isolate, always wear a mask and social distance in public when allowed out....

Sarcasm spelled out for dim-witted...

Pretty sure karpov’s point is that they were shacking up. 20-30 years ago that was looked down upon and people were shamed. Now no one cares and I think that is the problem.

It’s a slow burn for these freaks to get control of their minds but once they do, it is over because all logic goes out the window. Our daughter is MARRIED to a psychopath. In fact, he looks like, acts like this Laundrie guy. His parents could be clones of this killers. Our daughter has told us some of his actions that are terrifying and she always downplays them, even makes excuses, like they are normal. We have tried everything under the sun. The more involved we get the more she has pulled away from us.

That’s all we can do is hope and pray. Her life and two kids lives have been destroyed. The mind games he plays are like military style psych ops. He asked for a “divorce” in February, she agreed and he is still living in their home, refusing to leave. Even convinced her to move a mattress and herself to the basement, which is the least of his sick control. He works for a states treasury department and an IT expert. If she doesn’t answer the phone (he will try to call like thirty times in just minutes) when he is at work, he has somehow wired the WIFI so that music starts blaring all over the house. He has hacked into all her emails, texts and tells her she can run from him and try to hide but it won’t work.

Sorry to go on but this Gabby thing has just disturbed us so much because of what we see happening to our daughter. She was a strong, smart person and now she is so perversely weak that we don’t recognize her.

Agreed but to many women are just lemmings and blindly follow strong personalities.

If you’re playing the odds, you’d note that it occurs at a much lower rate.


Stats please

Actually don’t bother

This is just another stupid useless statistic

In the end of the day, does it matter that the murdering psychopath was her boyfriend, fiance, or husband? Dead is still dead.

Well at the very least don’t travel with him after he confides in you that he hears voices.

“Good gracious Karpov, they were engaged and living together.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good gracious Karpov, they were engaged and living IN SIN together.

Fixed it.

The lesbians murdered in the area were married, so I guess it’s kind of a crap-shoot.
No they weren’t. Words have meaning.

Correct. Married in the sight of God? Nope. Uh-uh.

You think Karpov is going to convince engaged people not to live together?

Really?

Good advice.

And it also applies if a woman hit a man.

I make this point as I read that Gabby earlier admitted she had OCD and had hit Laundrie some time earlier.

Were both parties nuts? I would think so.

Plenty of Husbands and Wives murder their spouses.
Some married for many years even.

Gabby saw all the warning signs and chose to ignore them for whatever her reasons where.

That has to win the award for the most self-righteous post of the week.

What's next? Mandatory burkas and forcing widows to throw themselves on their dead husband's funeral pyre?

Gabby Petito's life would have continued if he had dumped her when she hit him...or if she had dumped him.

Yeah it goes both ways.

There's toxic relationships that might NOT be toxic with a different partner. It can be a bad mix or one of the people can be worthless or even evil...

He was evil - so in that case it doesn't matter but in many situations lovers can bring out the worst or the best in each other. If either party's bringing out the worst - violence - end it.

No need to figure out 'who's at faul' - - - just end the relationship.

One bite at the apple... or as they say: "you don't have to eat all of a rotten egg to know it's rotten".

The issues with homosexual parents are worse

However the order in which I listed who’s most dangerous to the child still stands

It’s been that case as long as these sorts of records can be found

Unrelated woman
Unrelated man
Mom
Dad

In decreasing order

It would stand to reason boyfriends sleep with girlfriends daughters more than dads would

Far more easy to rationalize and frequently consensual

Woody Allen I suppose is a prime example

Morgan Freeman too but in his case it was the step granddaughter ....way way younger....who I think died tragically

I rarely say things here I haven’t looked up fwiw

Most here just shoot first seek back up later

Sorta like headlines only please....which I do too admittedly

It is very hard to get any data which defies woke narratives

The woke narrative is men are mean

Women are superior and nicer
