A
reader tells us about life with an ambot boyfriend.
My boyfriend joined amway over the summer and has increasingly become
defensive about it when I mention that it's weird and how I refuse to join.
This is the only thing we fight about and I avoid talking about it at all
costs! He's now starting to find negative things that come out of my mouth. One
time I yelled at him about it and he apologized and said I wasn't negative. But
he'll ask me to join. This last time we fought he told me that if I said no this
time, he'll leave me alone about joining. He hasn't mentioned it since but I'm
scared that this will come up again. He promised he'd never leave me for this
and because of this and tht I'm being too paranoid. I don't show any support
for this. He's actually in the process of applying for real corporate jobs and
I'm praying that this is my only hope in him waking up and realizing its a
scam. When people ask him "what do you do for a living?" He mentions
NOTHiNG about it and says he's looking for a job, and if someone asks him about
why he's been out of town for a "conference" he says "it's for a
little side thing I'm doing." ... Those are SOME good signs but I'm having
anxiety attacks when he goes to their weekly brainwash sessions and when he's
at a conference. I'm walking on thin ice. If I don't show support for amway
maybe he can start noticing what I see in it... Or he can think I'm not
supporting him. Help :-(
Yup boyfriend shows the classic Amway ambot symptoms. Ambots are angry
despicable bastards and make life hell for the people around them.
All Amway ambots get defensive. That’s the life of the ambot constantly showing
their devotion to the Amway cult and how dare anyone not like
Amway and not support their business. HOW DARE THEY!!!!! Amway ambots
put a lot of effort into defending this scam and that makes them viciously
ANGRY.
Amway is the kingpin of all things negative. Amway ambots are obsessed with
pointing out everything in the world that is negative. The rest of the world
doesn’t have this finger pointing thing down. What’s negative to one person
isn’t too another. People in the real world learn to tolerate negatives, maybe
they read a book called Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff. People in the real world
don’t have to pick pick pick at everything and bitch about things they think
are negative. People in Amway make all things negative their life’s mission.
Really an Amway ambot pointing out everything around them that is negative –
there’s nothing unusual about that. They all do that. Amway ambots pointing out
everything they perceive to be negative is how they make themselves feel
superior to the rest of the world. What brainwashed ambots don’t see is the
rest of the world perceives Amway ambots to be negative.
Amway ambots calling other people paranoid? Look in the mirror Ambot!
Yeah an Ambot will need a corporate job to afford being in the expensive Amway
social club. No one in Amway admits to being in Amway because that’s just so
fucking embarrassing admitting that you got suckered into this MLM cult and
you’re out to scam people and recruit new cult members. Its better to say
you’re unemployed.
And whether we’re married to an ambot or dating an ambot or living with an
ambot we’re always walking on thin ice. We’re fearful of saying the
wrong thing like GET THE FUCK OUT OF AMWAY!!!!! and have the ambot anger
directed our way. Ambots are the most angry people around. They’re angry
because they’re losing money. Angry because they can’t find others to join up
to the scam so they can make some money back. Angry they’re being abused by the
Amway cult leaders they love and worship more than anything else in their
lives.
Here’s the good news. 95% of IBO’s quit Amway within 2 years. Most within a few
months of signing up. You just got to wait them out and that can be hell with
them nitpicking and finding everything negative about you they can point out
and they only do that to please the fucking assholes in their Amway upline.
Sometimes you got to wait them out by watching them max out their credit cards
and spend all their savings. Some can bounce back even if it takes them years.
Others have to declare bankruptcy and go into foreclosure if they have a
mortgage.
Amway is all about destroying lives and relationships. The Amway cult leaders
turn the ambots into nasty, ugly, negative finger pointing bastards so the
people around them stay away. That’s what Amway is all about. Sorry to say your
story can be told nearly word for word by every Amway widow out there.
What this girl says about her boyfriend is interesting. He's applying for serious corporate jobs with substantial salaries, but at the same time he's joined up in a two-bit MLM racket like Amway? It doesn't make sense. A corporate job is genuine work, with genuine benefits and a genuine guaranteed income. Why in hell is he wasting his time on what is a crappy, low-level salesman's job that runs on a sleazy recruitment basis?
ReplyDeleteI can only guess that this boyfriend has a real psychological hangup of some sort. Is he afraid of going into the corporate world? Does he think that he doesn't have the ability for corporate work? Does Amway seem friendlier and less demanding? Is he caught up in the fake folksiness and love-bombing that Amway is so adept at
demonstrating to potential victims?
Something is wrong with this boyfriend. He seems to be caught between two possible worlds -- that of a real business, and that of the ripoff phoniness of Amway.
My advice to the girl -- if he persists with this Amway nonsense, drop him like a hot potato.
Anonymous - it might not make sense to us that the boyfriend is applying for high end corporate jobs and getting involved with the Amway pyramid scheme but then we're not brainwashed Ambots. And even if he gets a good paying job he's going to be out on his ass if he spends most of the day doing Amway shit instead of the job he's paid to do. We've had dozens of AmKids and spouses show up here to say dad/spouse got fired from their 6 figure J.O.B. thanks to Amway. That's the other thing. You show up to work with the Amway arrogant prick attitude that you're better than the rest of your coworkers because you're a "business owner" doesn't usually go over so good in the real working world.
DeleteI say most women can put up with their Ambot boyfriend/spouse for awhile and wait them out because 95% of Amway participants quit within 2 years and most of them within a few months. But we only have so much patience. And then as you say drop him like a hot potato.
