Did any of you see this video?

I would link this story, but I don’t have access to the link at work, but it’s been bugging me all day..

Edit: Found it. http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/living/2013/07/25/raising-america-bpr-husband-talks-wifes-tantrum.hln.html?hpt=hp_c4

There is a video link on youtube of a woman having a tantrum and not only did her husband film this thing, but the douchebag posted it on Youtube.

While I don’t condone the woman’s behaviour I know what an anxiety attack looks like and this was classic. I have a daughter with a severe anxiety disorder and I deal with this on a regular enough basis as we work through exercises to help mitigate her attacks .

Is it just me or does too much of the comments and slant of how terrible the woman is and not how her husband who was going out of his way to ensure maximum carnage here? I don’t see this is about cigarettes/finances/going to the lake at all. There was a trigger which we didn’t see.. and he just fed it.

I hope she gets the help she needs.. and I hope she’s smart enough to have this 200 pound NPD tumor removed as well.

I haven't watched it. I'm 'afraid it might be of me a few years ago.

Thank heavens I had a friend who said to me "why do you take his bait/bite the hook?"

I seen this video.. I think it's very disrespectful of the husband to post the video on Facebook and YouTube. The wife was having a tantrum because she wanted smokes and to spend the day at the lake with her husband. Yes she did act like a spoiled child...but the husband was provoking it too. He should of talked to her about it..instead of making it a joke and videoing it.

I don't know what to think other than they both have major issues.

I don't for a second think he should have posted it or attempted to humiliate her like that. She was likely at the end of her rope because this was a long standing pattern and he pushed her buttons like this often. His disregard for her feelings is evident.

OTOH she is a grown woman, and nobody in a marriage should have to live with that kind of outburst. Even if he is being a total ass we are still responsible for our behaviour and nobody can force you to act that way.

The only thing I can say for sure IMO is that unless both of them were to make huge changes they shouldn't be married because the whole dynamic is pure dysfunction at it's best.
JMO.

I found the one on youtube that was the 3.5 minute version. She's out of control and that's really disturbing.

However her husband was relentlessly taunting her, laughing at her, pushing her (because he was video taping it, he likely wanted to keep it going as long as possible) - when she would calm down and sit quietly weeping, he'd start taunting her again! And zooming in and laughing as she screamed. How disgusting.

The wife has emotional problems and needs serious help, but the husband gave me absolute chills. I'm glad they're getting a divorce.
