My mother and MGTOW

[3.14Participant 54]

Hello lads

I dont think i told you but i am 35 from Bucharest – Romaina(people here know geography so i wont explain on the map where that is:) )

I will tell you a strage story about my mother. Well….she is the reason i opted for mgtow. sounds strange?

well not at all. she was the one that told often since the mid 90s that marriage was not as it once was and extrem caution must be taken

interesting that my mom is a strong character and she was against the norms in the 60 and 70s when all people here used to mary at early 20s.she was neverlike that and my folks were involvedin a very fain and egalitarian marriage (still together after 40 or so years).

Anyway she insisted that marriage is a roulette with very very slim chances and that i must take care and extreme caution bc in most cases is a ruin. i did not listen to her and i did think that what she said is extreme. on the other hand i did not marry. now i see most of my friends divorced with kids

you will think Romania is traditional….well i dont know what to say but divorce rate here is 40%in the younger couples (it was 5% in the 60s)

other than that only a very small fraction of couples seem indeed happy (another think my mother told me).also she told me that i wasa quiet and easy going kid but the other were hysterical kids that drain you of energy (another reason to be cautios having kids)

it is rather strange that what all of you say here is exactly my mother used to tell me starting with mid 90s in a rather traditional country like Romaina

My mother hated ALL my girlfriends and told me to never marry.

As kids always do … I ignored her and got married.

She’s still around today … barely … but in amongst the dementia … she still asks if I’m single …. and nods approvingly when I confirm.

“Don’t give them your money”

How wise she is ☺

She is wise. (Mine never gave up prodding me to marry since she started while I was a high school senior.)

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

My mum is pretty cool about my ways, in fact if anything she encourage it. She is the one who actually warned me about women, and how they will try and change who you and get frustrated when they find they can’t. She also said unless you want children, (which I do not) there is no reason for marriage at all. So there is no pressure from that part.

As for my Dad? He tells me I would be miserable married, (not saying he is, because he would actually be lost without my mum), but he reckons I am too free-spirited to be held down like that. I think I was lucky that basically my parents were happy to let me go my path since birth.

Unfortunately, my mother is a unicorn NAWALT, and that’s what caused me to adopt an overly-optimistic opinion about marriage and women in the early years. She’s seeing all the divorces these days and wonders what the hell is going on, so we’re kind of on the same page with her

Well, my mom always support me when i told about my intentions about not having kids , not being married and even not spend time with girls, because she said “i will be terrified if you will lost all that you got for a bad call in a relationship, so i’m glad about your way of thinking…”

Added to that she is herself  a reason why i think i can’t stand with a girl anymore: because she get mad more with the age and she truly loves me, i can’t imagine how will be a girl who i met in the streets who can easily separate from me without hesitate and get free stuff that belongs to me and that it comes from my hard work in life…

It is a sad situation but i prefer this rather to live a nightmare…

When I was a boy, my mother and father made it abundantly clear to stay away from fast women(trash bags).

I heeded their warning and it has given me 19 years of peace.
