An email to my wife

[Anonymous 1]

Wow! I was married to the thing on two legs for ten years and after her bastard son was reared and gone she had no use for me. Ten years I could have spent better. She was cold and calculating and I won’t forget that. That was 14 years ago and I have had a good life since, paying off my house and car and have minimal expenses that don’t include dating. It’s not good to date a single mother that is not your offspring. You usually have no say in the rearing nor discipline of them. Avoid single mothers as they are not supportive of replacement fathers in many instances.

Why put up with the charade anymore? I gave it up 14 years ago and really don’t miss the drama. The intimacy just isn’t worth the trouble any longer.

To No Ma’am:

Quit reading my mail. I don’t appreciate it. I didn’t give you the right to spy on me and know everything about my life.

Your small ‘tweaks’ to my story are not fooling me at all.

You do not have permission to take my story and use it in these forums or in books for any purpose. Very uncool. How are you doing that?

Anyhow…

Just kidding. Man alive, wow!

” Avoid single mothers as they are not supportive of replacement fathers in many instances.”
YES AVOID THEM!
Let them pay for their mistakes on their own.

Yep.

My last relationship ended when my father died. I called her, and asked her to come be with me, I needed her, would pay for the plane flight, no worries, just come. She said no. Wouldn’t give a reason. Unfortunately, I was so messed up from grief, and having been raised by an abusive father who never taught me how to process s~~~ like that, I put off breaking up with her. That’s a story I won’t get into here. Ugh.
After the inevitable breakup, I asked a mutual friend “What happened?” She said “She decided you weren’t fun anymore.”
I thought about how much time and energy I’d spent to entertain her. How I helped her when she got laid off, letting her move in. Helped her write up her resume, helped her find agencies, was there for every bit of drama in her life, no questions asked, but she couldn’t be bothered to be there for me on one of the worst period in my life. And she’d been talking about buying a house together, a month before it happened.
That was my last serious relationship. It was about 14 years ago. I will never put myself into a position to let a woman kick my guts out like that again. I don’t date. I’m over sex. I like alone, or family, or friends. She made me lose all trust in woman, it was the final shove that put the red pill down my throat. We weren’t even married, I can’t imagine going through that with a wife, and having to deal with the divorce on top of it, at least I was able to basically say “f~~~ off” and never speak to her again.
I got a christmas card a couple of weeks later from her. It had a note in it, you could tell. I never opened it. I just didn’t f~~~ing care what she had to say anymore.
The pain faded. Now it’s just a small ember of resentment. I don’t wish her ill, I hope she found happiness – but I don’t ever want to see her again.
I’d love it if every woman got a letter like that, after a breakup. They’ll gaslight and try to turn it around, but it will stick in her craw for the rest of her life, that someone called her out on her s~~~ that thoroughly. I kinda wish I had done it to my ex.

OP’s post is Briffault’s law in a nutshell.

Seeing men share their stories like this makes me truly understand how fortunate I am that I never was married. Or even had kids for that matter.

I should be a father 10x over with how reckless and clueless I was.

Even though my last and only serious relationship felt like hell for me, I really am blessed that I never had to be faced with custody battles, child support, and alimony.

I really feel sorry for all the men that have.
