    Hi All;

    Next month it’s been a year since my 8 year relationship ended.

    During this time I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and learnt a lot along the way.

    I see hypergamous female nature everywhere and I actively try to avoid it during the day to day. I see my closest friends settling down. Buying houses with their partners and getting engaged. Leasing expensive cars and spending excessive cash on couples holidays and weekend getaways. Everyone around me is in a relationship and when they eventually open up…are miserable.

    Stories about vengeful ex-wives, cheating girlfriends and ungrateful partners. Stories about buying houses together then breaking up 2 months later. Surprise pregnancies and the MORE MORE MORE mentality. Everything I learnt to avoid here.

    I have moments of sadness…where I think ‘what if?’…but my logic always trumps my emotion in the end. Thankfully, even after 8 years, I got out with no baggage. She tried to come back but I cut her out cold. This was for my wellbeing.

    I wanted to share some of my successes over the past 11 months:

    1) I got a new job with a £10k pay rise.
    2) I learnt a new language to conversational level
    3) I’ve run a half marathon race every month
    4) I’ve always been fit but my gym gains have been phenomenal this past year.
    5) I downsized my accommodation (To stop pleasing cupcake and focus on my finances) Saving £300 a month.
    6) I’ve paid off £10,000 in CC, Overdraft and loan debt. (Now just my car to go)
    7) Trashed social media and changed my mobile number (I only have 12 contacts)

    Let me say, NONE of this has been easy. BUT I’ve done it and when I look back i’m amazed at my progress in such a short period of time. Of course, there are always improvements to be had but I love my life.

    I live a very minimal and frugal lifestyle and in another 6 months time I’ll have ZERO debt and very low overheads – this is where I want to be. Once I hit this milestone I will reevaluate and go from there.

    I have freedom and I love it. I’ve had some disasters along the way but I’ve been able to deal with it as my money isn’t being wasted on making someone else happy. If I want to go to the gym I can. If I want to go off grid for a week I can. If I want a nice steak I can.

    If you take anything from this post remember; this is a tough journey but the benefits of a MGTOW lifestyle FAR OUTWEIGH the ‘traditional life’.

    Damn thats alot of ground covered brother, well done! Imagine what you will accomplish in five or ten years time especially with no c~~~ to weigh you down.

    similar scenario in my neck of the woods, old friends have vanished and complicated their lives with marriage, kids and are drowning in debt, meanwhile I have been chilling out with my feet up eating popcorn and watching the bank account grow bigger and bigger! The only way is up brother all the best!

    Arcturis buddy!!! It’s been a long time, and I thought perhaps you were one of the many who left this place permanently in the big exodus. Terrific to see you post again.

    I’m so glad things are going well for you. All sounds great. The minimalism thing is incredible, isn’t it? I’ve been pretty frugal ever since I left my ex, and was always frugally inclined (in part thanks to having had a wonderfully frugal Welsh grandmother lol), but I’ve been monitoring my outgoings very carefully this year, and I have been shocked at how big a difference it’s made. My income massively exceeds my outgoings and it just feels amazing not to worry about being able to pay for bills etc.

    I did a post recently on FIRE (financial independence, retire early)–have you come across it? I remember you mentioning in a previous post that your aim eventually was to live off the 4 per cent, which is basically the aim of FIRE, but I wondered if you were conscious of the movement per se or not. If not, you might find Mr Money Mustache and other FIRE forums online useful.

    Onwards and upwards man 🙂

    There aren't holes in your pockets. It's called marriage.

    Love that quote “I may have 99 problems but a woman isn’t one of them.” The thing is though once the woman is removed most of those other 99 problems start magically disappearing as well.

    Awesome work brother! I have found having no debt is the best sleep aid ever, you will have that soon!

    This is a great accomplishment in such a short time. One more case for the reason this site still exists. This place needs to continue to get the message out to all men that the path forward is hard but the rewards are worth it. Well done.

    skip the cavernous vag and go your own way

    I love this post. This is exactly how it’s done. Good for you! The fact that you love your life is the best part.

    Just look how productive men are without the greatest distraction and hindrance we know of. Keep going son, once debt is paid off and you feel even more peace, freedom and TIME you’ll be closer to ‘self actualisation’.

    I used to think feeling great was a crime, but when you get your life in check, i.e. exactly how you want it, you feel GREAT and feeling great brings so many opportunities in life.

    Lion, you Legend! Good to see you mate. MMM I’m aware of but I will look more into FIRE thank you.

    Sometimes I have to remind myself of my progress in such a short period of time – a post was long overdue.

    I’ve ghosted a lot of people this past year and my life has only got better as a result.

    Cheers for the comments all.

    Extraordinary progress in under a year.
    Well played sir. An inspiration and model to follow.

    Everyday above ground is a good one. Everyday above ground while single...better still.

    I don’t know about that 😀

    It’s definitely good to take stock regularly: nowadays I do a weekly review and a bigger stock-take of my life every 6 months. It’s so helpful to review what you’ve accomplished, and to keep setting goals and make sure you’re executing on them. (I once blew off a woman who wanted to get me to come out for drinks on the basis that I was doing my 6-month review that day. She didn’t like it lol and seemed quite offended by the whole idea of my taking stock of my life at regularly intervals. I wonder why? Maybe because her life was directionless and empty? Maybe because a man who takes charge of his life is less likely to get sucked into the vortex of a woman’s timewasting?)

    The more you can do to make sure you’re in control of your little ship as you navigate choppy waters, the better.

    There aren't holes in your pockets. It's called marriage.

    That is a lot to accomplish in just a year. It took me at least three years and about $12,000.00 pulled from my retirement to get back on track. It’s rough starting over, but it’s damn well worth it to get out of a s~~~ marriage.

    Yes, the freedom is wonderful and it’s a great feeling knowing that woman won’t be wasting any of my money ever again. I’ve lost count of how many nice steaks I’ve eaten since the divorce and the recovery. Isn’t it great being able to do what you want when you want without having to hear some controlling bitch complaining about it?

    Congratulations on getting your life back, Arcturis. Do you celebrate a little bit each day like I do? Just last night I was singing and dancing in my kitchen because I was so happy to be living the good life of freedom.

    The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.
