Well, it’s official. My son is almost on his way down the wrong road.

Ideally, you could send your son a link to this thread on this forum. But I understand how that can backfire badly should your ex find out who you are on here.
Instead maybe you could send your son links to MGTOW YouTube videos like those from Sandman or Terrence Popp (Redonkulas). He might be more willing to listen once he realizes that the dangers are common knowledge among many men. Do you think that that might help?
If that doesn’t open his eyes then I can’t think of anything else that would…

He’s been on this site, but instead of reading anything in the forums, he just watched some video that bored him and he never came back. I’ve told him stories that I’ve read on here, but “his girl isn’t like that”. Even my x thinks it’s a bad idea for him to marry this girl.

He’ll figure it out one day. Sometimes the fire purifies.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

That being the case then he’s beyond help. You can take consolation in the fact that you did all you reasonably could. You’ve fulfilled any obligation of ‘due diligence’ on your part as a responsible parent.

Like I often say, the hardest thing to convince anybody of is the obvious…

I don’t know if you have any children, but I don’t think you do, if I recall correctly. There is no consolation, because you can never do enough for your kid. I don’t look at it as “fulfilling any obligation”. A responsible parent loves his son and will keep trying to help him no matter what. His only problems seem to be the same problems I had at his age which were immaturity and inexperience. I had to go through some fire to overcome both.

No I’ve never had any kids. I can only try and imagine what you’re dealing with.

OTOH, I do know what it’s like to have to ‘let go’ reference family. Bin-there-dun-that… 🙁

My old man told me to look at the future mother in law. That’s what you are marrying he said. Man I did look, but I looked st appearance only. I didn’t look at the 2 divorces both marring up. I didn’t look at the constant bitch face. I missed the lack of respect. Man I didn’t look at all. My old man was red pilling me and I couldn’t see it. Maybe pointing out things without pointing out things is the best method now. Help him
No matter what. My son is not MGTOW but I help him because I love him. He respects me, sound like your son still respects you. That is good. I will be praying for you to have an opportunity to share. I’m also praying that she would reveal her true stripes. God show me my error on my second mistake while I was engaged. My fiancé spilled her plans when drunk one night, praise Jesus. I was rescued even though I didn’t deserve it.

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

My dad tried to warn me and I didn’t listen. Instead I got p~~~ed off at him. At least my son isn’t getting mad at me for trying to warn him.

I only have daughters, and if I was a young man unrelated knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t date any of them longer than the time between oil changes on my car.

They are my kids, raised under a roof I provided, with my daily guidance; and they still aren’t forever or Half worthy.

I red pill younger co-workers daily. No sons. @hermit I can feel your pain. You did your best. Unfortunately it’s his call.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Thanks, Ogre. He seems to be a pretty tough kid. I think any fire he will go through will strengthen him.

I really mean it @hermit. Of my three daughters I can’t find marriage material anywhere. Their mother had potential, unrealized sadly. These kids were with me daily for two decades. The internet tells them they can do anything all on their own. Let them, but regarding your son your first post says it all. He may have to learn by the burn.

That must be tough to have daughters and see the typical female traits in them. I really don’t think I could handle that, at least not very well.

I’m pretty sure if my son does go ahead and get married, he will never do it again. I know once was enough for me. I learned the hard way and I won’t ever make that same mistake.

He’ll be alright. I just hate watching it as it happens.

@hermit. It is what it is. I love them as part of me that I put real effort into, but they are women now. I can’t compete with the hive. I love them, but they’re screwed up in the head despite my best efforts.

It’s similar, but totally reversed from your situation with your son. I have to maintain the ability to turn and walk away at any time. One can sense it, the other two are oblivious. Even with your children maintain distance.

Feel better, and lean on the ex. If she’s got misgivings make her play her hand. Keep your pocket aces for later, when it matters.

Lean on the ex? She won’t have much to say about it and even if she did, they won’t listen to her anymore than they’d listen to me.

It’s a gamble. If she does’t care for his chosen cupcake then there is no better reason to use her influence. She may be your ex, if she’s his female source of validation then her opinion of cupcake really matters.
