tatertot posted a thread asking about being p-whipped. I think the claim that Mr. Tot is whipped is highly incorrect.
However, I do know a situation in which the guy is truly “whipped”. I shall call him “Bob” and her “Jill”.
I was over at Bob’s place. He lives in an apartment with Jill and two other roommates (oh, let’s call them “Tim” and “Kim”). Well, we were all drinking, as college kids are wont to do. This is the first time I’ve ever really been “drunk”, so I’m just lying on the couch considering how pretty the cieling is and thinking of penguins.
Then the weirdness happens. I know that I didn’t just imagine this in a drunken stupor, because it was later confirmed by the people involved.
Kim and Jill start making out. My first thought was something on the order of “Wow! Chicks making out! Woohoo!” Then I remembered that Jill and Bob were together, and began to wonder what he was thinking. Suddenly, Jill announces to everyone that she enjoys making out with Kim more than making out with Bob. She didn’t say this in a joking way. She meant it.
Bob looks rather perturbed, and is about to say something. Jill sees this and butts in, “I’m secure in our relationship.” Bob shuts up and says nothing.
Now, think about this. His girlfriend is not only making out with someone else, right in front of him, after she just insulted him … not only that, but she has the nerve to make it look like any peep from him would reflect badly on him. WTF?
Oh, and later that night, whilst I was barely conscious, Jill and Kim gave Tim a handjob right in front of Bob and me. And yet, Jill and Bob are still together, even though it is painfully obvious to everyone that Bob is extremely upset over these (and other) events. He obeys her meekly, doesn’t hang out with friends without her permission, and just all around let her run his life.
It’s really quite sad.
