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.

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.

Oh my God

This forum is absolutely ridiculous sometime

Jesus

I mean really

Husbands kill their wives only slightly frequently than paramours do

I Wardaddy who loves women.....anyone here knows me ....knows this....traveled the globe with likely over a dozen wonderful women.. from 1975 on....
Two of whom were and one now still are ribs

And somehow we managed not to kill each other...a miracle I suppose

Once I had one get pissed and leave me on the side of the road for a few minutes till she came back crying...
And made it up to me very enthusiastically on a Montana hillside back when flathead lake was actually desolate with only white face cows watching us....ah to be 23 again....

Hipsters use the word cringe a lot....which I find effete

And I hate as much as twenty dollar waygu beef burgers with truffles on pretzel dough buns

But posting a vanity blaming the poor dead girl....for taking a western trip with her beau....she’s a girl to me....is cringeworthy

The poor lass had her own issues.....sadly or she might have seen his more clearly

And the boy is likely mentally ill in a serious way

It’s a tragedy

I hate you dont leave me..

It’s an old story which usually doesn’t end in murder...

I mean do some Freepers really live in the same world
as the rest of us

That’s why it’s called a vanity post. I hate these holier than thou Freepers.

If the vanity post was “hey Freepers, in High Plains Drifter, was Clint’s character a ghost?” yeah I could follow that.

But if it’s “don’t go biking in the forest, a rapist called Bill Clinton will pop out and rape you in the ass because I told you so!”. Yeah, it’s a lecture that everyone knows so just keep quiet, will ya?

Thank u

I never treated women poorly in my care even in third word shitholes with artillery pounding away down the road in Nicaragua etc

Or Bush War in west Africa

Or our west like these folks

I was raised to care for split tails

Venerate and respect guard

And they treated me well in return

They felt safe

Man is that ever a need fo womyn

Main reason so many love Fedzilla

I’m gonna look up boyfriend versus husband stats

On stat the woke hate is the. It’s dangerous critter for a child in the home is an unrelated by blood female, then unrelated by blood male, then mom then dad ....in that order

Boy that flies with the woke as well as female pilot accident rates versus males

Truth sux when it doesn’t fit narrative

Two diff arguments

Yes marriage is preferable
No question....it and Christendom is what made western civilization the premier civilizing force of the entire planet

And now we’re demonized for it

No it doesn’t have to end in murder in non marriage relationships

It’s hard to ascertain but it seems that maybe the murder rate for non married partners either sex is only about 10-15% higher rate than married partners murdering one another

Another little factoid is for every 90-100 men who kill their wives in the USA .....75-80 women kill their husbands

That is damn close.....

Maybe I should make breakfast in the morning....run her bath....warm that bath sheet in the dryer first

Maybe double that Nordstrom’s allowance this week

Cant be too cautious these days....

You’re right about one thing

It was imprudent to dump him on the trip

If that’s what she did

But doesn’t mean I blame her

Was she supposed to keep traveling and banging some guy she now loathes

That could happen married too

Women get really mad at you an they can say truly ugly things to you to hurt you and won’t hesitate to thrown sex and all that moaning an groaning and multiple and simultaneous orgasm euphoria right at you like an acid bomb

They are in fact experts at this maneuver

Which can leave even a resolute confident man going WTF....

ALWAYS AND I MEAN THIS AS MUCH AS I MEAN NEVER EVER DENY GOD

when women go cra cra

And they will

WALK AWAY......YOU CANNOT WIN TOE TO TOE

you’re dealing with a creature poets and writers and kings and warriors from Ulysses and David on have been unable to contend with

Walk away....it makes them have to think...

Otherwise the focus from her will be how you reacted to what she provoked

She wants you to do this...it absolves her

They learn this very early...it is how they fight...it’s their left hook

In all that close quarter camping, did Gabby miss her period? The coroner should skip the Wuhan Flu test and check if she had an unplanned pregnancy.

Unlike headline readers here

I searched for stats

Unmarried partners either sex kill each other only slightly more frequently

At home or on va kay

Sorry to pour water on it

Not to say marriage isn’t the cornerstone of western civ that it is

But these are divergent arguments

I appreciate your diligence but since they include homo couples now I guess? which are several times more violent I wonder if we will ever have decent statistics on this ever again.

Also boyfriends molest their step or sort of step kids at a far higher rate then bio dads

They do, of course. But statistics show that married women are the least likely to suffer from violence, on average.

Stats on this?

They were engaged to be married. They’d known each other since HS.

Bull crap. Plenty of women have been murdered by their husband.

so women should always be afraid of men?.....are men always vicious killers?.....

my father, my brothers, my husband would NOT ever ever hurt a female.....

I too however would like women to stop being the good sports and not demand MARRIAGE before cavorting around....

its time we return to the old sensibilities...the old values....

This is the dumbest post I’ve ever seen. They were a freaking couple. They lived together. Stupid vanity post.

Because a husband has never ever murdered his wife...


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

Just like that there are dads who molest their kids, but not as often as stepdads, who in turn do so less often than stepdads friends.

When you are right, you are right. If she’d been a 250#, thick black woman with tats all over, it would have barely touched the news.. unless her bf was white.

yeah apparently I’m learning this morning that there’s witnesses to Gabby being slapped around by laundryman. Then the parents gave him a 3 day head start to exit the country. I seriously question, even if I was breaking bad if I would have done that.

Where do you think he ended up? Venesuela?
