Hi everyone. I’ve been reluctant to write my bio because I’m (still) married and you may think it’s a bit hypocritical, but I’ve decided to pitch in because I agree with the MGTOW philosophy.
I’m 50 years old and have been aware that something is very wrong for a long time, but there was practically no information out there 20 years ago when I started feeling out of phase with the rest of the world. I read a book by Robert Blythe called Iron John a classic study of masculinity when it was released and thought it had a lot of interesting points about how we are brought up in the west as opposed to older more tribal cultures.
I got married at 22 and regretted from the first day. I was raised in a single parent family and I’m guilty of not wanting to inflict that on my kids so have stuck around in a relationship that is mostly a complete sham. All the s~~~ty things written about women in the red pill forum are completely true in my opinion. I don’t think there are any good women out there. The female gender is just a collection of deceivers ranging from poor to masterful. If they’re interested in you then you have something they want and it’s not romance!
I’ve been thinking that there must be a load of men out there in the same boat as me i.e. married with regrets, but bound by a sense of duty to stick it out. I’ve thought about chucking in the towel a lot over the years, but I think it would cause me financial meltdown and, more important to me, would risk spoiling my relationships with my children. That time is now coming to an end as they are all technically grown up but the housing costs are so high here in the UK they can’t get their own places. I’m patient and I can wait a bit longer.
One thought I have not been able to answer fully is whether my wife is in on the feminism scam or has been sucked into it unintentionally. If you’re brought up as an entitled princess/special snowflake all your life and every form of media re-enforces that particular view why would you think anything different?
Whenever women are involved there are many layers of lies and half-truths. Like I thought I was getting married to the woman of my dreams only to find out all I was doing was taking on a legal duty to take care of her special needs for the rest of my life (and after via insurance and my pension). I couldn’t escape after she told me she was expecting and I’m still financially responsible for her and my children. That would have been the case whether I was with them or not as my older brother is proof of the latter.
The deal got worse the longer I’ve stayed. I gave up a lot of my interests to divert my finances and time so that she could stay at home with the kids. I worked 12 – 16 hours a day most days of the week for years to keep up with the bills, only to be told I was not making enough time for her and the kids! Whatever I’ve done to benefit them has at some time been turned against me. Instead of being thanked for everything I’ve done, I’ve been made to feel guilty for not being ‘Super’ man and delivering more.
Anyway enough moping, onwards and upwards! I’ve done a lot of reading over the last few years and am taking charge of my life again. I’ve started spending my money on things I like to do and in the last year have been camping, visited the top of Ben Nevis, skydived and skiing. I realised that I only have so much active time left and I’m not going to waste that in front of the TV watching loaded scripts s~~~ting on men and our achievements. If it all goes belly up and we do separate I have already decided to go John Galt/ghost so that I don’t support this stupid system. I could write a lot more, but that would just be boring. Thanks to everyone involved with this brilliant website, I wish it had been around 28+ years ago.
