I am kind of curious as if there is anyone here that has had a relationship break up because of cult influence or a MLM? (especially Primerica) If so I would be interested in hearing about it.

Yes.
My ex was totally brainwashed by the religious wackos she grew up around. The self-rightous sense of superiority they instilled in her, turned into a total lack of respect for me as a husband and a man.

Damn Missouri Synod Lutherans anyway!...

What the hell is MLM. If I google it I keep coming up with multi level marketing and surely that can't be what you're referring to.

MLM is Multi Level Marketing a.k.a. pyramid scheme renamed.

Primerica is a good example, another is Innovage, they are actually a "parent" company for Cydcor, who run MLM schemes all over the country.

These places are just as bad as any cult. I have lost a few friends to this type of "profession".

I have a habit of running guys off with my nightly Raelian movement rituals.

Did your friends ever leave Primerica or make any money. This is part of why I am single again.

Oh so it actually was multi level marketing. I thought MLM was the initials of some perverse cult. Or maybe that's what Primerica really is. I guess then I would have to say that no I have been lucky enough to not have had any break ups because of either of these reasons.

That's really bizarre. Primerica has called me, way too many times, and I've ended up yelling at them on the phone. I hadn't realized it was cult related, but it does make sense.

All of them have now left the respective MLM they got brainwashed into.


Primerica is not a cult, it is an MLM style business. Their mantra and methodology for doing business is however, cult-like.
