I’ve been married for many years and assumed that would never change. But over the last 5 years or so I’ve become more and more unhappy with the whole thing. My wife started heading down the feminist path without really realizing it. Yet the snide comments about what idiots men are gets old fast.

I make good money building highly technical software solutions for some of the most respected hospitals in the world. My workdays are long, I travel a lot but I am very happy with it. Why wouldn’t I be? I’m productive, challenged and respected. Our customers love us. Yet my wife thinks I’m an idiot, even when she knows from a simple intelligence stand point she’s not even close.

I have absolutely no interest in TV or movies or any of the normal entertainment choices.  I can’t stand what’s taking place in our culture. Celebrating the deprived, immoral individuals in our society while villifying those who are successful. The vast majority of the successful individuals got there honestly through hard work and by being exceptional people. Yet my wife falls for all the crap prevalent in our media driven world.

I started retrieting from “normal” people that I saw as weak and ignorant, with no understanding of what self responsibly and self reliance is.  In other words, my wife’s family. I started to think something was wrong with me.

In MGTOW I realize what I’m going through isn’t a problem with me.

 

Sometimes the light's all shining on me!

I’m productive, challenged and respected. Yet my wife thinks I’m an idiot.

Recently had a conversation with a member of my family and pointed out my home town is the only city in the world where I dry my hands with the wrong towel. Its the only place on the planet where I have “given the wrong gift”. I cook with the wrong pan. I drink from the wrong mug. I put the soap back in the soap dish wrong. I should have done this. I should not have done that. You know what I am talking about. Last year I flew home for the holidays and made my way from the airport in a taxi. I was wrong for that too, because someone came to pick me up and didn’t inform me in advance that they would be there. I just stepped off the plane and I was f~~~ing “WRONG” already – before I saw or interacted with any of them. Make your own way without expecting anything from anyone … and you’re WRONG.

Imagine living like that.
I feel your nightmare.

Yet the snide comments about what idiots men are gets old fast.

Yep. And all it took was for me to point this out, and refuse to spend Christmas with them again.
When family visits become uncomfortable hassles.. it’s time to stop going.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

You know what?  I’m done being wrong, and the great thing about it is I don’t have to change a single thing I do.

Sometimes the light's all shining on me!

I can’t believe the b~~~~ on women who make this statement. I’ve heard my wife say many times ” men are so stupid”
Honey, if you say it enough we’ll eventually wise up. Then what are you going to do?

What they are seeing is not “stupidity” but tolerance. Eventually, if your lucky or have any thought process at all, you find a red and as the Fairy Tales say…… live happily everafter!

Just rolling down the road

Yep, avoid things that cause you suffering and distress.

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