    Some old redneck man who was a friend of a family member, who was in a failing marriage with a woman 10-15 years older than him told me “Don’t treat a woman like gold, treat her like shit and she’ll never leave you” or something to that effect. That sounded horrible even to 13 year old me.

      Unfortunately it isn’t wrong it is just horrible and abusive advice. Destroying the self worth and confidence of a person can trap them in a relationship because they feel they can do no better so they stay. I feel bad for that person’s wife, I hope she ended up dumping his ass

        It was my understanding they separated. In any case, dude died of cancer a few years later. Not sure about much beyond that.
