I woke up

[Nice Guy EddieParticipant 527]

Gentlemen,

My story is pretty much straight out of the playbook. Early 30’s, great job. Fell in love and got married because it seemed like the right thing to do.

Fast-forward 10 years. 2 kids, mortgage, the full 9 yards.

Then I developed a serious medical illness, requiring prolonged hospitalization.

My wife struggled to deal with the loss of security that accompanied this, went to a psychologist, and was told she had PTSD and had to offload me if she was going to get better.

So she did. When I was in the hospital.

I’ve been in a fugue state for pretty much the last 5 years. Surviving, but not living.Paying rent and all of the usual bills for my ‘family” whilst my “wife” continued to live in the house that I paid for. With her new boyfriend. Being grateful for what minimal access I was granted to my boys.

And then, one day, I woke up and said to myself: “I don’t want to live like this. I don’t have to live like this.” As we say in Australia, I hardened the f~~~ up. I guess I swallowed the red pill.

And life has been intensely, immensely liberating since that day forward.

Rang a lawyer and got going with divorce, financial settlement and child custody proceedings.

Told my sons what was happening and why.

I don’t subscribe to the more extreme elements of MGTOW philosophy. I don’t hate women. I’ve got 6 sisters whom I love, and I have a lot of female friends, some of whom I have f~~~ed, who I cherish.

My current girlfriend, who is an intelligent, independent free thinker, thinks this change in attitude is fantastic.

To any man who is caught in the same hell I was in, and doesn’t know what to do: Act. Do something. Life can and will get better. Throw off the guilt imposed on you by society and your ex. Reject the shame that you feel about your failed marriage.

Cheers
NGE

Just make sure that when she starts playing mind games, testing you, or pulling any of the other crap so common to today’s females, you take care of yourself.

Also, feel free to post any questions or frustrations you have regarding your current relationship.

Welcome, brother! May I say that your first wife is a total c~~~? And your second one might turn out to be just as c~~~y as the first? I may. I hope you’ll be happy with her, but… prepare.

Rage and vent all you want, my man, that’s what this forum is partially about. The red pill is harsh, but it helps.

Thanks for the heads-up, Pvt. MGTOW.

I’m lucky in that my gf is a clinical psychologist and quite intelligent.

She was a bit defensive when I told her I had been learning about the MGTOW movement, but (at least at present) she understands.

Having been brought up in a home with 6 sisters, I am pretty adept at dealing with female bullying; I did let my guard down when I fell in love with my ex but I’m not stupid enough to let that happen again.

NGE, You’re not alone, you’re among the very few men in society that actually discovered just how disposable we really are and just how heartless they really are.
Now we rise above it by realizing just how precious we really are and just how disposable they really are.

I don’t bother with women anymore because I don’t like to treat anyone like trash and throw them away in the first place.

I may be obnoxious at times but I don’t hate women or anyone for that matter, I just know how they are, I accept it, then be on my merry way…

Hopefully,that will be a good thing in your relationship. Unfortunately, we have had a few horror stories here about crazy psychologist girlfriends.

Just know this: she likely has the ability (and if you make her mad enough, she may well use it) to screw your life up royally at any time she desires. We have more than enough false accusation stories on this site to prove that any woman can make your life miserable, and a psychologist has even more sway than your average woman.

Welcome Nice Guy! Your Mgtow Brothers are looking out for you. Be careful. Love apparently is a very dangerous thing.

Welcome Eddie to MGTOW. I would like to echo what the private said. When I first came to MGTOW, like you, I was coming off a nasty divorce and had a NAWALT, borderline Unicorn, girlfriend. She was the nicest, coolest female I ever had a relationship with.

But over time, you start to get the s~~~ tests, drama, and games that raise little red flags. Just be mindful to protect yourself. You don’t have to hate women, but they are like a handgun: have fun shootin’ but handle with care.

I will say this, after I re-pilled, I didn’t put up with any of the s~~~ or games from her that I used to tolerate from my previous women. And when I called her on behavior you read about on this site, she would back down. Ironically, it seemed to make her want me even more.

So pull up a chair and take a look around. Any questions, fire away. There are some good guys on this site.

Thanks for the supportive responses, guys.

I’m being pretty cautious with the new gf; no “I love you” BS, no moving in with her etc etc.

We’ll see how it pans out.

Seen it a few times as has been said, women do see men as disposable when they have children way way more so, but thats understandable its nature.

Some great advice and input in this thread,

Hello, and Welcome.

Your story is appreciated and serves as clear reminder to me to get this over with asap (currently married to an asian expat.) This site is full of supportive people and has a wealth of knowledge. Like you I do not hate women either, might as well hate the tornado when it destroys your barn. I wish you luck with your current girl. Myself I don’t think after this i will have any kind of relationship with a woman.

[Anonymous 3]

Welcome!

Be careful with the new girlfriend too, I have experienced, that women can be totally different persons at the start of the relationship, work hard to get you.
But time goes on and after some years one begins to have sleepless nights thinking on “how the hell can I escape this relationship”. Happened to many people, including me.

I am sure, no one here hates women. I do not hate them. I do not have any emotions on them. But I do dislike their bad behavior and that is why I just avoid or ignore women, and also all the people whom I don’t like, for example all the blue pills, SJWs, and so on.

We dont hate them. In fact I love them still. Their company is great. I am just much much more aware what is happening. Every action they make NOW make sense. It is really fun to mess with them.

Careful bro. By all means enjoy yourself but be on your guard. Be aware. But I think you know more about those things then me so its all good 😉

Always going big, Yeah you know the kid, Call me haymaker.

Not all MGTOWs are radical. But that doesn’t mean e MGTOW hate women. Society has been attacking men for 50 years and it only got worse around the late 90’s. If someone keeps kicking in the b~~~~ you’re going to get upset.

I don’t subscribe to the more extreme elements of MGTOW philosophy. I don’t hate women. I’ve got 6 sisters whom I love, and I have a lot of female friends, some of whom I have f~~~ed, who I cherish.

Radical MGTOW isn’t about hating women. Not even close when you having your b~~~~ kicked 24/7 most men are getting angry. I”m a moderate MGTOW however I was having red pill rage for about 1 1/2 years.

Here is a video to enlighten you.

Thanks CC, great vid.

She reminds me of some women I knew at university: intelligent, forthright, funny, but not very ‘physically attractive’ in the traditional sense. They went off “like a frog in a sock” when you f~~~ed them.

Good times.
