WTF Facebook status

[julez]

A friend shared her husband's facebook status, which was this:

I love my wife more than any other person on the face of this earth.
If my wife and kids were in a boat that was sinking and I was the only
one who could swim I would save my wife. That is how the Bible commands
that I love my wife. She comes before even my children.

I
will love her and I will continue to lay down my life for her daily even
if she despises me or even if she ignores me or even if she doesn't
love me back.

My love for her has nothing to do with what she does for me. I love her because God has called me to lay down my life for her.

Good for you...?

Oh my...

Sounds like someone is in the doghouse.

It's especially weird to me that she re-posted it.

"My creepy husband looooves meeeee. Even if someday I don't love him back, God commanded him to love me foreverrrrr. Aww!"

[snickers]

Hmmm,
This is weird to me.
Do they currently have children?

[joshlyman]

Honey, I love you so much I would let our children die for you!

[bonquiqui]

This was exactly my first thought.

I also know without a doubt that DH and I would both save the kid, and that's how both of us would want it.

That's, um, special.

[blueshirt2003]

I hope he is never put to the test.
I can't help but feel like instinct would take over and he would save his child(ren).

[ErinExpat]

Her response makes it even weirder. They sound like teenagers.

[speckledfrog]

He lays down his life for her daily? Rough neighborhood!

This is really disturbing.

On many levels.  Right now I'm stuck on the fact that he only loves his wife because God told him to.  Nothing to do with her. 

[livinitup]

He sounds like a dramatic jerk.

[lolc]

That's weird.

I think the biological/evolutionary imperative is to preserve the offspring. Or Bible. Whatevs. Weird!

I need to know the many ways he lays down his life for her daily.

She has a peanut allergy, he eats a Snickers daily.  One less threat.

If my husband saved me instead of our kid, he would be the next to die.

[sonrisa]

I'm okay with the "I'd save you first" sentiment. Personally, I'd be pissed at DH if that was his how he felt about our daughter now. But it is fine in abstract for someone else.

His reasoning though: "God commands me to love her first" rather than genuine feeling is fucked up. Especially the way he phrased it. I'm not big on how the bible views kids. The bible allows you to sell your daughters too. I'd hope he wouldn't do that.

I would hope my DH loves me enough to know he should always take care of our children no matter what.
I would hope my DH loves me enough on his own that he doesn't have to pretend to do so because God told him.

Yep.  Lots of 'em.

Friend also shared this status of his yetsterday- it's like CHRISTmas!

CREEPY HUSBAND: Remind me next time I expect to sit in traffic like this to bring a Gatorade bottle

CREEPY HUSBAND'S FRIEND: Brother, upload some great music from Indelible Grace to your favorite mp3 player and praise the Lord and bless those around you. Redeem the time!

Creepy Husband liked this.

OMG.

[wise_rita]

Oh HELL no! I would not breed with someone who's going to save my ass over the child.

Freak.

Wow

[foryourboy]

Um...wow. Why do people share so much on facebook?
