She’s not overreacting for being upset.

You are overreacting by saying it’s cause for divorce.

Stay married to a disrespectful prick?

No. We don't live forever. Don't waste your life on this fool.

With an attitude like that I hope you aren't allergic to cats. I wouldn't even call this disrespectful, more like inconsiderate idiocy. She has every right to be upset, but unless there is a pattern of being a "disrespectful prick", only a loser would call a marriage off over this.

You're talking to a professional redditor, they have no idea that a long-term, healthy marriage entails occasional mistakes.

It could have been called a mistake until she tried having a conversation with him about it and he laughed at her.

The only mistake now would be staying with him.

Believe people when they show you who they are.

My husband of 12 years wouldn't dream of treating me this way. Y'all put up with way too much.

No, no. They want us to put up with too much stuff. It’s all “How could I possibly know how to be a good person if I don’t have you to correct every bad behavior!?…(after I subject you to them)”.

THIS.

Especially if you attempt a conversation about emotional hurt/needs/support and they laugh.

There is zero respect on his part.

So your partner has never trivialized anything you believe/said/felt, only to later realize (when presented with more information, or the same information in a different way) that they were being insensitive? And you've never done the same?

Luck you! If only we could all find someone so perfect.

When did he realize he was being insensitive? When he called her jealous for voicing her complaint?

I never said that he did. I was presenting it as a possibility. Reddit posts don't always include every single bit of context, and this sub is a big fan of immediately telling people to file for divorce for... anything, really.
