✓ Please use "spoiler" formatting where appropriate. Follow [text you wish to hide] with (/spoiler), (#spoiler), or (/s) to activate. SPOILER
✖ No personal attacks.
✖ No gendered slurs.
✖ No graceless generalizations. Speak only for yourself. Do not generalize based on gender, race, or ethnicity.
✖ No misogyny, misandry, transphobia, ageism, racism, general assholery, invalidation, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.

✓ Please be inclusive with question phrasing. Questions specifying majority demographics are not permitted.
✖ Downvote only to indicate that either a comment or post does not add to discussion; not to indicate disagreement. AskWomen benefits from honest answers with a variety of perspectives. On that note, saying, "Be honest," is rude and unnecessary.
✓ Familiarize yourself with Reddit 101.
✓ Use the report button on all comments and posts that violate the rules in the sidebar.
✓ Add flair! We have flair for men, women, trans folks, and gender neutral people.
✓ Be specific: ask a general question, get a general answer.
✓ This is not a debate sub. Attempts to invalidate or argue someone else's response are not permitted.
✓ Common topics are determined by how often the topics come up, how likely the answers are to change, and whether it is already a FAQ topic. The timeframe for considering something common or recently asked takes all of that into account.
⚠ Moderator Discretion: While the rules of this sub are listed above, no set of rules can cover all of the content that people may post. Unfortunately, there will always be some things that our rules do not currently or perfectly cover. In those cases we reserve the right to take action and remove anything that we find insidious, inflammatory, or that does not fit within the spirit of the community even if the stated rules do not specifically disallow that content. In short, don't be an asshole

This includes topics like children, motherhood, pregnancy, and friendships. Everyone is welcome to participate in Thersday regardless of your own gender, but questions should remain focused on women and their experiences and opinions.

"Not a great partner" could be that they weren't responsible, didn't prioritize you, couldn't handle household chores, crazy family, no career, etc...
Maybe they were great personality wise, all of your politics/religion lined up, etc
I understand weaponized incompetence is a big deal, and an insidious way of behaving which really doesn't leave any other options open except anger and criticism or leaving the relationship. An apology and a promise to do better doesn't really cut it, when it's a continuous state that doesn't go away. But what are the perimeters of that? I guess everyone will have their own line. E.g. if your partner and you are furnishing your new place, and they go out and buy crockery, but they don't color match the mugs and the plates, is that weaponized incompetence? (Is it incompetence?) I saw a post about how British people don't wash suds off their plates. I always thought it was strange when people don't do that. If you ask someone to do the dishes and they leave the suds on, is that (weaponized) incompetence? Does it change if they are British? What are the "biggest" things you don't think are worth criticising and what are the "smallest" things that are?
What’s your vibe? Your communication style? What makes you you that attracts people to you?
When you catch a guy eyeing you, does it make you feel objectified, flattered, or a combination of the two?
Is this a daily thing or a hair wash cycle thing
Was there a specific opportunity, decision, or moment that made a significant difference in your financial situation or career? Maybe it was finally having stability, learning a new skill, or taking a big risk?
People have started to get scared to get married by the fear of paying dowry or the fear of getting to pay alimony on separation. How does one overcome this?
How do you look cute, stay warm outside, not overheat inside, and not have to carry around too many layers?
Due to popular demand, every Monday from 12am ET and (-5 GMT) until 12am on Tuesday, submissions related to dating, relationships, or attraction will be removed.;
