I wanted to mention two relevant texts that have helped me in my journey, in case they were also helpful to some of you.
The first is The Enchiridion by Epictetus. This is a seminal Roman stoic text about personal living, and living for yourself. I’ve seen “OldBill” quote this one a lot too, when he says it is only our impressions of things that worry us. There is a link to it in the Internet Classics Archive:
http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.htmlThe second is Freud’s paper on female sexuality. Similar to Schopenhauer’s paper that is currently up on the MGTOW site, this one talks about female psychology and was the only source besides MGtOw that adequately described what I saw in my wife’s brain as she left and filed for divorce. And it’s Freud. There is a link to it here:

Anonymous13Thanks man, I’ll save and find time to read these links.
Meh, Freud was a bit of a cuck: “The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?'”
He probably knew full well, but answering it would’ve jeopardized his chances of getting laid. Schopenhauer’s essay was much more badass.
Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.
this one talks about female psychology and was the only source besides MGtOw that adequately described what I saw in my wife’s brain as she left and filed for divorce.
What exactly did you see in your wife’s brain? Most of that document talks about early childhood and the realization that she lacks a penis.
A man shouldn't make his life's objective to be on the side of the majority, but to avoid finding himself in the ranks of the insane. (Marcus Aurelius)
Thanks Stealth,
I am familiar with Epictetus and second your recommendation for others to read. While the points currently require some thought and consideration to place them in a modern context, they are overall well thought out and worthy of reading.
“1. Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.”
Thanks also for the Freud recommendation but I’ll pass for the moment, I have never cared for Freud or Jung.

Exactly this. Even without the penis envy theory, lots of parental issues…sexual attraction to her father, enmity with her mother, and confusion of transferrance to her husband. It all would have sounded abstract if I hadn’t lived through it up close & personally.
