Despite living in the 21st century, there are still individuals, often men, who hold outdated and peculiar beliefs about marriage and women\u2019s rights over their own bodies.<\/strong>

A netizen recently shared screenshots from a disturbing conversation where a husband accused his wife of incest because she was breastfeeding their child.

The absurdity of the situation sparked widespread shock and ridicule towards the husband\u2019s entitled and primitive views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screenshots of a text exchange between the husband and wife were originally shared to Reddit, but have since been circulated on X (formerly known as Twitter), where they have understandably sparked a firestorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message exchange starts with the husband texting his wife: \u201cYou\u2019ve been breastfeeding? You know how I f***ing feel about that,\u201d adding that her choice to breastfeed their newborn son was \u201cdisrespectful\u201d towards him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the wife \u2013 who is, at this point, still recovering from labor in hospital \u2013 offers to compromise by breastfeeding their son out of her husband\u2019s sight, he simply tells her he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the wife advising her husband on the nutritional benefits of breastfeeding, he replies: \u201cThe benefit to where I\u2019ll never be able to look at you the same way again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then continues: \u201cI think you\u2019re a bad wife. I think you don\u2019t respect me. I think you took a joy away from me. I think a lot of things. I enjoy your boobs. Now they\u2019ve been in another man\u2019s mouth, I no longer enjoy your boobs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s probably necessary to reiterate the fact that the husband\u2019s newborn son<\/em>, not a fully grown man, is the person he is referring to. When the wife points this out to her husband, he chimes in with: \u201cHe\u2019s male. And your son. That makes it incestous in my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After screenshots of the odd exchange were posted on Reddit, many users took to the comments section to voice their opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one person sarcastically put it: \u201cHer boobs aren\u2019t for his pleasure anymore, now that they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re intended for another man\u2019s mouth has been on them. And we all know formula is exactly the same as breastmilk. How dare she take away her husband\u2019s enjoyment of her body?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone else added: \u201cMy God. What did I just read? A b*****d father jealous of his newborn child for being breastfed and blaming the mother. What has this world come to? How s***stain of a human being you have to be to think like that? They really think women as sex toys, dont [sic] they? They are sexualizing and villifying [sic] their own partner based on breastfeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman who shared the story on Reddit (who is not the wife accused of incest by her own husband) shed light on the issue, telling Bored Panda: \u201cI believe that our society still sexualizes breastfeeding, and this man just had an overly sexualized view of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman also spoke about her own experiences, saying: \u201cReturning to work after my child\u2019s birth, my employer refused to accommodate my nursing schedule. They suggested supplementing with formula, and I think the husband took that mentality too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing further information from the wife\u2019s personal page, the netizen revealed that the husband apparently also deemed bathing their sons after the age of two as incestuous. \u201cHe seems to have an overly sexualized view of things, perhaps even interpreting the Oedipus complex too seriously,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internet is rife with stories of entitlement, but prioritizing one\u2019s bizarre and possessive interests over a wife\u2019s body in the presence of a newborn is particularly extreme. It only serves to highlight the ongoing struggle to dismantle outdated beliefs and promote respect for women\u2019s autonomy and the freedom to do what they choose with their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
