Staying In Amway For Fear Of Breaking Marriage
Yup, that was the criteria a searcher used and found their way to this blog:
Staying in Amway for fear of breaking marriage.
Very disturbing. Not the part about fearing Amway because Amway should be
feared.
I heard at countless Amway meetings how Amway saves marriages. And even some
bullshit from our Platinum about how WWDB has a lower divorce rate than the
rest of the population. How the hell he came up with that little gem I’ll never
know. But then all he’s good at doing is spouting off lies and expecting his
beloved cult followers to believe every word he says is true.
I think what I have to say about the hell I went through thanks to Amway and
what other women have said, some who’ve left comments here, and other comments
I’ve borrowed from other web pages speaks for itself.
The wives of ambots are victims in the Amway pyramid scheme.
We have to put up with husbands who are being brainwashed by their cult
leaders. They turn into nasty, sarcastic, sneering assholes who are turned
against everyone who doesn’t support their Amway business.
As our Platinum used to chant: “People who are not in Amway are stupid.”
Our husbands believe that. They don’t want to be around stupid people. And yes
just because their sack of shit Platinum says it makes it true. In their
brainwashed minds that is.
In addition to the personality change that women have to put up with from their
ambot husband, they can also look forward to not spending much time with him.
There will be at least two Amway meetings a week. Maybe as many as four. The
upline will be demanding the husband’s attention either in the way of lengthy
phone calls, never ending text messages, or being summoned to last minute
counselling sessions.
Let me just take a moment to send a big fuck you out to our former upline now
that I’m reliving those horrible memories! Fuck you assholes!
Also the wife has to deal with spending no time with the ambot husband. He’s
not interested in family get togethers, going out with his wife and family for
fun outings, going on vacation. Nothing. He’s not interested in doing nothing
unless its kissing his upline’s ass and going to Amway functions.
Then there’s the finances. Credit cards are being maxed out so the ambot can
buy as many Amway products as his upline bullies him into doing. Gotta get that
PV up there so some upline fucker can meet that month’s goals! Bank account is
dwindling. Bills are not being paid. Rent or mortgage is a few months late and
perhaps eviction or foreclosure proceedings have been started. No marriage
needs that kind of stress added on to the participation in Amway being the
cause of it.
Their credit scores have gone down the toilet.
And just a few months ago their marriage was great. There was no debt. They had
some savings. Bills were never overdue. They were having fun together and
loving life.
Then the evil monster named Amway took a shit on their marriage.
Wives can tolerate a lot of things from their husbands. There’s always that one
ugly piece of furniture they want in the house. Or that Rolling Stones T shirt
they had to buy. They always have some dipshit asshole for a friend that the
wife can’t stand. They go through weird phases like when they decided buying
a 4 wheeler was a good idea.
The problem with Amway is that the wife ends up having all her husband’s new
friends turn against her if she doesn’t join him and stand by his side smiling
stupidly at him and keeping quiet like a good little ambot wife. The
upline ambots do everything they can to destroy the marriage telling the ambot
his wife is a dream stealer, negative, unchristian, a loser. What ever those
troublemaking bastards brainwash the ambot into believing. They are hell
bent to destroy the marriage because she doesn’t support the Amway business and
doesn’t want to put any more money into it or go further into debt trying
futilely to be part of the less than 1% of IBO’s who actually earn money at
Amway. She knows a business with a 99% failure rate has the odds stacked
against them from the start. There are better ways to invest their money.
Common sense decisions like that and cutting off money to the great Amway gods
makes ambots scream out every lie they can to turn the husband against her.
The wife has fallen into a dark place when she has to hit the Internet with the
question asking if she should stay in Amway even though its breaking up their
marriage.
What does she kick out? Amway or the ambot?
And one more time let’s just send out a big old FUCK YOU to Amway, WWDB World Wide Destructive Bastards, and the fucking assholes in the Amway upline. Fuck all of you!
The old stereotyped idea was that men are the sex with common sense, and women are the sex with silly fantasies.
ReplyDeleteThe Amway experience disproves that.
It is almost always the husband who is sucked into the Amway scam by cultic manipulation, and the wife who is deeply skeptical about the entire thing.
The Amway recruiter appeals to the man's vanity and pride. He tells him to "be independent," and "become a business owner," and "cut free from a rotten job and a demanding boss." The recruiter flatters him with "love bombing" and fake friendship. He caters to the husband's fantasy of being rich and respected, and the male need to be "with a winning team."
The wife generally isn't so naive and dreamy. She's probably put up with a lot of bullshit from men over the years, and can recognize when she's being conned. She understands the value of a dollar, and the need to have a dependable source of income. If she handles the family finances, she's probably a lot sharper and tougher about expenses than her husband.
Yes, it can happen in reverse. Sometimes a silly and overenthused wife will be the one who is caught in the Amway trap (after all, look at all those silly women who fell for the LuLaRoe racket, and lost a fortune.). And maybe in that case the husband will be the sensible one who is skeptical about it.
But for the most part Amway appeals to men, and especially to not-so-bright men who live in a dream world. This is why so many wives have come here with stories about the disaster that hit their marriages when their husbands got caught up in the Amway trap.
Anonymous - yup you nailed it:

15 years ago women were leaving comments on blogs and forums about how Amway was destroying our lives and that's how some of us bananas got together. There were no anti-Amway blogs from the woman's point of view even though we were out there and figuring out we weren't alone when it came to dealing with the fucking assholes in the Amway upline brainwashing our husbands into paying money to attend Amway cult meetings and buying shitty overpriced Amway products.
And yup generally Amway appeals to not so bright men who probably only have bleak futures in unskilled labor type jobs with no chance of earning good incomes.
