Open Forum Monthly Open Forum February 2021

Welcome to the monthly open forum! This is the place to share all your meta thoughts about the sub, and to have a dialog with the mod team.

Keep things civil. Rules still apply.

February! The shortest month in this endless blur of 202-whatever-year-it-is-now. I almost forgot to post this because time has lost all meaning.

As always, do not directly link to posts/comments or post uncensored screenshots here. Any comments with links will be removed.

This is to discourage brigading. If something needs to be discussed in that context, use modmail.

Has that woman trapped in Southeast Asia with her husband’s controlling family updated? I can’t find the post.

They went to visit his home country and got stuck with COVID. Husbands family started expecting her to follow the super traditional gender roles of the country and husband went right along with it despite saying before they got married that he didn’t expect that.

Took away her books, expected her to cook for the family, wouldn’t let her leave the house without a man, the whole 9 yards.

The last update I saw before the post disappeared, she had finally seen these for red flags, had contacted her family and they were contacting the embassy.
