Hello & It's a pleasure to be here (just another intro)

[Emperor HeracliusParticipant 317]

Good afternoon fellow red pillers, longtime lurker and first time poster here.

A little bit about myself…

I am a 29 year old whose life and choices have been dominated in part by women. I got first hand-exposure of the dark side of women from my own mother, who despite her good intentions had completed dominated and emasculated my father (a hard working immigrant from Greece) and currently has left him a defeated, tired shell of a man.

I have been a relationship for five years with my current girlfriend. I try to give the benefit of the doubt by telling myself she is the exception to the rule in regards to women. She is well-spoken, good with money, educated, and reasonable, and by some miracle she hasn’t been poisoned by the toxicity of the SJW/feminist craze of our current culture. However, like all women, the mid-life crisis and societal pressure eventually creeps in. She of course wants to settle down, have kids, and live “happily ever after”. She is approaching 30, the looks are starting to fade slightly, and she wants kids before she turns 35. She is also looking into buying a house, even though I am not financially prepared for that or to front the expense of a wedding.

As a self-aware man and a realist, I know better. Marriage changes women. Having kids changes the dynamics of the relationship permanently. My culture expects me to drop $30k on one day; HER day. The wedding is all about her, how she looks, her friends, her family, in addition to my family’s expectations…
I have been told by nearly every other older man (including my father and uncles) to avoid marriage. Children & the wife tie you down, robbing you of your potential and total control over the direction in your life.

I currently stand in a crossroads in my life. On one hand, I realize that if I give up my girlfriend now, I will most likely forever shut the door the possibility of having the “family life” with a woman who is actually intelligent and has a good personality. On the other hand, I am not where I want to be at in life at the moment. I moved to the state where she is originally from since I was too afraid of losing her. She moved back for work and to be closer to her family, and I blindly followed along without a thought to how it would affect my job prospects and long term happiness. I feel bogged down because this is not how I envisioned my 29 year old self to be; jobless, friendless, and empty all because I was too afraid to lose a potential wifey that society pressures all young men to pursue.

MGTOW has pointed me to the right direction and the posts and stories here have given me solace and confidence in what I need to do to seize control over my future. Thank you for listening to my story and I look forward to participating in the discussions here.

The good intentions don’t exist.

Welcome. Most of us have stood at similar crossroads. I can simplify it by saying if you want someone else ( a woman, the state, her family and friends) to have control over your free will, finances, pursuit of goals, leisure – by all means go ahead and marry and have kids. Kick in the mortgage and some car loans and you’ll have fulfilled the “fantasy” which is all it really is. But that would not be commensurate with a MGTOW lifestyle. However if you value sovereignty over your life – you know the answer already.

Welcom Emperor Heraclius!

NEVER GET MARRIED

trust me they change. It will suck

HEED MY WARNING

[Anonymous 13]

Welcome.

Let me get this straight, she wants all the trappings of marriage and kids yet you have no money?

This is so doomed, sorry but it is.

Also, she made a decision to move away from you? Putting job and family over you?

You had to follow her?

Run.

Welcome home, Emporer
Beer’s in the fridge

That being said, if you want to keep that title, don’t get married. Lol

She may be nice now while she is in the acquisition stage of her life but as soon as you say “I do” she will say “No you don’t” to absolutely everything and then one day she will not be happy and you will get divorce raped. DON’T DO IT!!

She will notice your changed attitude from you reading this site. Her s~~~ tests won’t work.

Then she will get pregnant.

When you find yourself in the majority, it's time to reflect.

You probably don’t realise how lucky you are just now, yet so close to catastrophic life failure.

Tick tock.

Marriage now comes with an inevitable divorce rape. Wether that’s three years down the line or thirty.

Marriage should no longer be a consideration for any man at any time.

I know that sounds harsh but so is divorce rape by a c~~~ with the full backing/blessing of the law that will see you homeless and no f~~~s given.

Honored to have you here, Emperor. Remain. Single. Period. When you’re my age [early 50’s], she will be knocking on 60. 25 year olds will be hitting on you. Remain. Single. Period.

When women lead, destruction is the destination. -- Me.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink it.

If it has tits or tires, you know you're going to have problems.
