Do Any Ex Married Men Get Triggered By A Song?

[Remove me!Participant]

I remember seeing Silver Linings Playbook and he gets crazy when he hears the song they played at their wedding.

I have a song like that. I was eating at a restaurant last week and the song came on, hadn’t heard it in over a year. Last time I heard it I just dropped cash on the table and left mid meal.

I just popped my headphones in this time because the guy I was eating with knew about this song and understood. But every time I hear it, I get rage and anger.

Anyone have a song like that?

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

Music part of brain i heard is next to memory .

When you here a song you then relate that song to past memories .

THE PLANTATION HAS NOW TURNED INTO THE KILLING FIELDS . WOMAN ARE NOW ROLLING CAMBODIAN STYLE .

I will Survive.

F~~~ing peice of s~~~.

Try haveing to play it at a gig, then send the paycheck to the ex.
Hahah
F~~~…..

Yeah I got one song. Just the one.

REAL TALK.

I have a few songs that remind me of ex girlfriends. Women that while blue pill i really cared about. But then when i listen to the lyrics, i realize just how dumb that s~~~ is. When love has you blinded, anything that produces dopamine can mess with you logic and common sense.

Yes im still reminded.. but more so reminded of how much of a chump I was. NEVER AGAIN

p.s. Of some of the song I still enjoy. Just without the irony.

Triggered as in angered?
Most of the garbage what passes as “music” these days irritates the crap out of me.

Music/songs elicits zero memories of relationships for me, most times it is just irritating background noise except for some songs that cause pleasant memories for me.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

When my ex and I were together our song was Peaceful Easy Feeling. Now, it’s Already Gone. There are lots of songs that remind me not of my exes, but of what I was going through during and after the breakups. I still play them sometimes, when I’m in a certain mood.

"Don't follow in my footsteps...I stepped in something."

I wouldn’t say triggered but sad. Our wedding song fit our story as a couple well and when I hear it, I get a bit sad.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

Yes, it is “Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye. Can’t decide if she gave me the disease or the healing.

Great song. My favorite classical piece.

I would guess some get triggered looking at their bank account, pension statements, when a nice car drives by that they had one they used to own but had to sell…

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

[NoMoreParticipant 1233]

Nah, I’ve always liked country, classical, and metal/punk. All of these she hated. Our wedding songs were popular pop stuff, which I don’t listen to. In my car, I listen to audiobooks and podcasts. So, I almost never listen to much music anymore. If I do, it’s one of my playlists.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

[MoreSkyParticipant 4865]

As with most gents I have songs that remind me of my ex-wife, one in particular that could be classed as “our song”, which was playing when we first met.

After separation/divorce but before red-pill/MGTOW these songs would remind me of the ex-bitch and would make me angry or depressed.

When I hear those songs or the particular song these days I don’t get triggered or angry, they are red pills and I think “Thank f~~~ I’m out of that”.

I have replaced “our” song/songs with songs that remind me that I am much better off now.

Here’s a couple:

"...reinvent your life because you must; it is your life and its history and the present belong only to you.” It is Your Life, Charles Bukowski.

Not triggered but some songs do evoke an emotion.

[CombatRollParticipant 2594]

NOPE. My STBX and I had different taste in music. She liked the foul mouth rap bulls~~~ on the radio (why does a 50 ish bitch listen to that s~~~??).

We fought all the time about control of the music. I used to love to have a drink and sit outside and listen to music and she was a total wet blanket and would sit her fat ass on the couch inside and look incensed that I was enjoying myself.

Now I listen to whatever I want whenever I want.

I cringe when I hear any sappy song. Redpill glasses do that to you.

this s~~~. makes me want to go to the gun range and put 525 holes in a paper target.
the c~~~ used to play this all the time and sing along

and this screeching cat…whenever she got off her ass and cleaned house, liked playing

oh God it is f~~~ing awful 48 minutes of excruciating spleen ripping caterwauling

we had a 50 cd changer, and it was full of s~~~ like this, stuff I hated, loathed.

f~~~, she would clean a few things, and then want to move the furniture. Well, I would be the moving the furniture. Big heavy wooden tv cabinet with a stereo cabinet, big ass tube tv, video tapes, cds, collectible bulls~~~, pictures. big ass desk, computer, printer, 2 couches, tables and her basket collection and all the s~~~ in the baskets. We had a huge cabinet just for dvd movies that we watched once. Renting movies was too pedestrian for my special snowflake. Oh God, the specially constructed cabinets for all her scrapbooking s~~~! She would lovingly dust paper! After the furniture was moved and the floor vacuumed, then all the pictures hung on the wall were in the wrong places, take the pictures down, spackle the holes, touch up the paint, then hang the pictures in the new places.

Halfway through, she would command me to make lunch so she could continue to “clean.”
I have to move s~~~, vacuum, patch holes, paint, hang pictures and make lunch? Really?

She put furniture in the strangest places, sit for a while, and then change her mind.

Did I tell you we had 2 living rooms? Once a month, I moved furniture around the house. Saturday was downstairs, and Sunday was upstairs. Yes, 4 couches, 2 giant entertainment centers, 2 coffee tables, lamps a double load of useless baskets full of useless s~~~, lots of pictures, and all the f~~~ing birdhouses. yes she collected decorated bird houses. 200 of them I think. to f~~~ with her, I used to randomly move them around.

We had 3 sets of patio furniture. Bottom deck, Middle deck, and pool deck. Also had a collection of folding chairs, chaise lounges and small tables for out in the yard. I think we had 5 patio umbrellas. Didn’t have to move the outdoor stuff thank God. One set had a concrete table top 6 feet across. We had a $3000 set of patio furniture. Unbelievable.

Our house was essentially a resort for the members of her large family and giant circle of friends, orbiters and hangers-on.

Today, I have a desk and a computer, a chair and a table. If I want entertainment, I have a laptop computer to watch videos or look at pictures. Zero birdhouses, or baskets in my home. None. Ever again.

holey fuk I am sooo triggered right now. gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[HermitParticipant]

Wouldn’t say triggered at least not in a negative way, but this song will always take me back to the joyous day of my divorce. It’s my divorce anthem.

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.

Wow, May! That is horrible. They use that Donna Lewis song at Gitmo to interrogate the prisoners, until Obama outlawed it saying it was too cruel. I have to agree. But it sure got them to talk!

Like others, I didn’t share a lot of musical tastes with my ex, our wedding song wasn’t on the radio much, so it never comes up. However, several songs that listened to frequently while going through divorce definitely will. “My World” by Sick Puppies does it every time.

I also find myself trigger slightly by a large percentage of pop music that put women on a pedestal…probably why I rarely listen to modern music anymore.

I’m not coming back
I’m not gonna react
I’m not doing s~~~ for you
I’m not sitting around
While you’re tearing it down around us
I’m not living a lie
While you swim in denial
Cause your already dead and gone
You’ll leave me out on the curb
Just like everyone
Else before you

Welcome to my world
Where everyone I ever need
Always ends up leaving me alone
Another lesson burned
And I’m drowning in the ashes
Kicking
Screaming
Welcome to my world

I don’t care what you think
I’m not seeing a shrink
I’m not doing this again
I’m not another
Student or a mother
To take your s~~~ out on
So lets see what you got
And lets see what you’re not
And whatever else you pretend
You’ve defended my intentions
Long enough

So here I am again
In the middle of the end
The choice I wish Id made
I always make too late.

Ok. Then do it.
