Hello my fellow brethren,
I recently came to the conclusion that my father is unknowingly a MGTOW. Here’s why:
Growing up my dad raised me not to take s~~~ from anybody, especially women. He never talked about it as much as he acted on it, which is why it didn’t register with me sooner. I have many specific examples of this, but the ones that have stayed with me for the longest time were the ways he has dealt with my mother their whole marriage.
Before I was able to really think for myself I always saw my dad ‘mistreat’ my mom by ignoring her when there were arguments regarding family, money, or whatever else. Little did I know he was actually following what many MGTOWs strive to do on a daily, and that is to go their own ways without the stress of a female presence. This goes without saying that he is only human so he has responded angrily to my mother in the past, however, these instances were so rare that I only remember 3 of them while staying in their home my first 18 years of life. Generally, he has never really made a spectacle out of their disagreements and, more importantly, he has never physically hurt my mother. A lot of the times he responds to her verbal abuse by ignoring her while watching television or leaving the house for a couple of drinks at a friend’s house or a bar.
I now realize that my father has never really mistreated my mother. After all, he has always been a provider for me and my sister, and he has always been a man of his word. He also does what he wants, and, always seems to be in good spirits. This has seemed to be enough for my mother as well.
My mother has never really asked for much from my father, and she has always provided the essentials a woman is supposed to provide for a man. She works from 6 AM- 3 PM, and still goes home to cook and clean the house no matter what. Just as an example: after any heated argument, my mother would still make dinner for my father the next day after he got out of work- even though he’d end up making his own dinner that night out of pure principle. Amazingly enough, by simply ignoring my mom or leaving the situation completely, their relationship has never been better. They don’t have a relationship based on romantic Hollywood farce, but, instead, on mutual understanding and respect.
There’s many more examples of these kind of observations of my dad that I am now using as life teachings. Even though my dad would not be a complete MGTOW- simply because he is a married man- I think it is safe to say that the qualities he exhibits as a man are admirable.
Because of him, I understand myself more now. I understand why I have never been comfortable buying women drinks at the bar or why I never feel like women deserve to know everything about me just because they ask. It’s because I was taught by my father, through his actions, that I have a sack.
I am now 21 years old, attending a university littered with men who feel they have something to prove and women who feel entitled to everything. I can only smile in incredulity of the relations~~~s we are cultivating among the sexes. I can only wish for more people like my parents, but wishes usually never translate to reality so I can only continue what I am doing as a MGTOW.
Side note: My parents have separate bank accounts and seem to be in charge of their own finances. They have been married for over 20 years and look to be living a healthy and content lifestyle.
Other side note: If you’d like to read more stories about my father not taking s~~~ from women feel free to ask.
