Why Would Anyone Take Him Back / Dhar Mann

Go To

More than a few Dhar Mann videos focus on a woman staying with an toxic/emotionally abusive husband, easily forgiving him after he "learns his lesson" and apologizes.


  • In the case of Carlos from "Husband Won't Let Wife Work," the abusive husband doesn't even have to apologize. Instead, he simply expresses pride in his wife Selena only after her cupcake business becomes a success, with Selena seemingly forgetting about how Carlos constantly degraded her and her ambitions (in one instance, in front of their young daughter), accused her of being ungrateful for wanting to work, cut her off from their finances so she'd have to give up her business plan, and insinuated that he just wanted her to settle for being a homemaker, despite feeling unfulfilled in such a position.
  • Ironically, in the aforementioned video, Selena, Carlos, and their daughter Rosa are played by Jovanna Vidal, Armando Rey, and Angelee Vera respectively. They all also played a family in "Rich Dad Can't Buy Daughter's Christmas Wish." In that video, the father is just as awful as Carlos. In response to his daughter Ana getting upset over him preparing to leave for work during Christmas, he cruelly tells her that Santa Claus isn't real and walks out on his exasperated wife when she confronts him about how he's been treating her and Ana, with his reaction to her rant indicating he couldn't care less how much his wife and daughter are hurting. But just like Carlos, the father inexplicably changes his ways after reading his daughter's Christmas letter and both Ana and his wife forgive him with open arms.
  • Platonic example: After he abandons him to try and be "cool" twice, why would Nelson's friend Kent bother to take him back after "TikToker Uses Nerd For Views"? Nelson very easily turned against Kent, used his ideas for himself just to keep up his image around Brad and his crew, and quickly let the fame go straight to his head. It's especially frustrating since in "Nerd Throws Party Behind Parents' Back," Nelson similarly deserted a different friend to impress the popular crowd, only to realize they were a bunch of fake friends when they deserted him after throwing a party in his house and leaving it trashed. Unlike the first instance of abandonment, Nelson doesn't even have the excuse of being pressured into abandoning his friend; he just sees the opportunity for Tiktok fame and ditched Kent in favor of Brad's crew. It's hard to believe Nelson won't just end up doing the same thing again once the opportunity to become popular presents itself to him again. This Youtuber easily points all this out.
  • In "Jealous Girl Accuses Guy of Flirting," Kyle easily forgives Nina and takes her back, despite the fact that the video's events proved in flying colors how much of a toxic person she is. She spends the whole video stalking, emotionally abusing, and gaslighting Kyle for the crime of having female friends and is revealed to have a history of letting her jealousy and insecurities ruin her relationships. She also comes across as a misandrist, seeing as how Kyle's perceived flirting is enough to make her start espousing an "all men are pigs" mindset. Kyle doesn't even have a word of dialogue calling Nina out for how badly she mistreated him; he just smiles and accepts her half-hearted apology that only comes after she finds out the girls she got jealous of are already in a relationship and were only helping Kyle make a present for Nina respectively.
  • While it's not as damaging or troublesome as the above scenarios, the two examples below show how dating (or even being friends with) someone with major flaws such as severe trust issues or gullibility is not a pleasant person to hang around with as such people could easily turn on you and betray you to avoid getting their own feelings hurt, regardless if you actually did what they're accusing you about.
    • "Step Kids Refuse to Get Along" sees the titular kids (Sophia and Noah) scheming to break up their parents David and Diana, with their acts of sabotage against David succeeding in causing Diana to break off their engagement. While the truth eventually comes out, you'd think the ease of which Diana was willing to believe the worst about David and accuse him of not being serious about their relationship would make David hesitant to marry someone whose trust in him is so fragile. Instead, Sophia and Noah coming clean leads to an immediate reconciliation between David and Diana, with the latter's trust issues never getting addressed by either half of the couple.
    • An employer/employee example: In "Evil Maid Mistreats the Owner," Iris fires both her driver Alan and her daughter's soccer coach Jessie after her maid Anita sets them up to be accused of being drunk on the job and stealing respectively. In the end, once Iris figures out the truth, she works with Alan to catch Anita in the act and makes plans to rehire both Alan and Jessie. While Alan is implied to have a good relationship with Iris's daughter (who is shown to have never believed he would drink on the job), you'd think Alan — and by extension, Jessie — would be uncomfortable working for a woman who would instantly assume the worst about them and fire them based off flimsy evidence and unsubstantiated claims. But Alan never expresses any trepidation about this, and it can be assumed the same would be applicable to Jessie.
