What Offset's Behavior Should Tell You About Abusive Men

It's embarrassing.

What Offset's Behavior Should Tell You About Abusive Men

While celebrities' lives continue to be filled with drama and unnecessary fighting, something can be learned from rapper and TV personality Cardi B's recent announcement about her divorce. After evidence continuously revealed her husband Offset was unfaithful, she finally called quits on the marriage and announced it on Instagram.

Some praised her for the decision, as it was long overdue, but many (mostly men) called for her to take him back because it was "just a little cheating."

As if.

As a huge name in the female rap game, Cardi maintained her public personality of independence and continued on with her life. Offset, on the other hand, became restless and took to social media, pleading with her to take him back.

He made an awkward, fake-emotional video that he wanted to be back with his family. He commented on her posts and Instagram live videos, harassing her and gathering support for his flawed cause. Other popular rappers known for infidelity began to support him, demonizing Cardi B for not taking back her wildly unfaithful husband.

At the Rolling Loud Festival this weekend in Los Angeles, he stepped on stage with rapper 21 Savage to plead to Cardi through the crowd; the crowd chanted "take Offset back" as if he wasn't a habitual cheater.

The height of all the harassment was when Offset interrupted Cardi's set at Rolling Loud with signs that urged her to take him back. He confronted her in front of the world, in front of all her fans, putting her in a tight space with no room for disagreement.

She shamed him in front of the world by telling him no again, but what he did was abusive.

Cornering her in front of the world to elicit a response, as if his problems were not bad, is abusive. Gaslighting her when he was clearly in the wrong is abusive. Rallying the entire world behind countless acts of unfaithfulness when she did nothing wrong is abusive.

Offset's behavior is something every girl can learn from when going into relationships. Men who try to publicly embarrass you into submission are abusive. Men who rally their friends to ask for your forgiveness and demonize you when you refuse to give it are abusive. Men who create opportunities for you to fall back into their unfaithful or abusive habits are who you should stay away from.

I applaud Cardi B for being so strong and setting an example for young women around the world who face abusive men.

All celebrity drama aside, Offset's behavior is a clear example of an abusive man with the mindset of a child and the sensitivity of a rock.

Do better, Offset.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
