He Wrote A Pretty Mean Comment To One Of His Wife’s Friends Who Was Trying To Get Her Involved In A MLM And He’s Telling The Internet His Wife Thinks He Went Too Far
A 23-year-old man is married to his wife, who is the same age as him. They tied the knot 2 years ago, and they have been with one another since they were back in high school.
Speaking of high school, his wife used to be friends with a woman named Jane. She is still friends with Jane on Facebook, and he happens to be Facebook friends with Jane too since he never deleted people from high school from his friend list.
Although he’s not really that active on Facebook, he is aware that Jane is selling beach body and all she does is post stuff about that.
“I’m going to start this off by saying I hate MLMs,” he explained. “If you have a high school diploma and are worried about going nowhere in life, go to trade school. STOP with the MLMs.”
So Jane is over on Facebook posting extremely cringe-worthy things about beach body, but then she began reaching out to his wife in an effort to get her involved in her MLM.
“The first time she did the stereotypical Facebook message “how you doing girl?? Omg, I miss you so much you’ve been doing so well in life! By the way are you interested in losing weight?” That type of sh*t,” he said.
“My wife told her politely that she’s not interested. She has reached out to her 3 more times since then.”
“She is not taking no for an answer. After my wife expressed her frustration, I commented on her latest beach body-inspired post.”
This was his comment:

“Hey Jane, not sure if you remember me, but I hope you’re doing well. Please do me a favor and leave my wife alone.”
“She is not interested in being a part of your pyramid scheme. By the way, you lose weight from exercise, your magic shakes don’t work. Sincerely- an actual business person.”
He totally did it in a mean-spirited way on purpose, and Jane saw it and quickly deleted the comment.
Jane then unfriended his wife and unfriended him on Facebook. That wasn’t all though; Jane’s husband sent a message to him threatening him to never come to their town.
His wife said she wasn’t upset by the fact that he made a comment in the first place, but she does believe he took it all too far.
He thinks he fixed a big problem because Jane did stop trying to hound his wife to join her MLM.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“100% agree. I don’t take kindly to MLMs in my DMs. The people who work in one know that they get paid based on what other people buy, and they know how the business functions.”
“Just because they are too blind or unwilling to see how predatory they are doesn’t mean everyone else has to be kind to them and excuse it.”
“MLMs are horrible and prey on women who make little money, enticing them by waving money at them, when in reality, they spend more than they earn.”
“You didn’t curse her out or anything, your FB comment was pretty mild and doesn’t warrant the threat you received from her crusty husband. I wish more people commented stuff like that on MLM posts lol.”
“I have a friend who is 20k in debt to various MLMs and has basically sold $200 of product to his aunts.”
“I have tried talking him down the ledge only for him to change from essential oils to candles to makeup to who knows what it is this month.”
“A lot of those MLMs are almost cult-like in the way they work. The “hunbots” as they’re called can be VERY aggressive with each other and even the higher-ups in the chain can be extremely gross and gaslighty.”
“She was probably trying to recruit her on as part of her downchain or trying to meet a quota since a lot of these hunbots HAVE to make X amount of money or they face extreme gaslighting.”
“Look up Happy Mind Cruel World on youtube when you get the chance. She talks a lot about the inner workings of MLMs and the cult-like tactics they use.”
“They are not almost cult-like, they are flat-out cults.”
