Stockholm syndrome or something similar

[GeraldParticipant 3654]

Perhaps I am the only one, but there is a point where the animal loves the captivity, enjoys the zoo… this may be a phase on the journey men, but it is an illusion.

Get out. Get out now. Marriage is the trap you’ve fallen into… loving the idea of being loved. You aren’t loved, you are being used.

Well… at least I am. The light at the end of the tunnel was there… and I regressed.

F~~~, I know this makes no sense, and to those who are new… this is what marriage does to you. Avoid at all costs.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

good point,

the marriage trap is similar to the Stockholm syndrome…

Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Gerald, that makes perfect sense! I read a long time ago that you spend half the time you’re in a relationship convincing yourself that it’s okay to leave. I absolutely believe that, so when you say you saw the light at the end of the tunnel and regressed, I think we all probably have. That being said, you know what you need to do, so do it. One month free and loving it.

Good post and it brings up a really good point. A lot of the men that are coming in here really shell shocked and not just that they come in here thinking rather gynocentricly and I think you are onto something there. Think about a man raised by a single mother or in my case I was in a marriage of 28 years you certainly do identify with your Captor after a while. Keep up the detective work and go your own way

I can see their heads have been twisted and fed with worthless foam from the mouth. Bob d

That’s exactly what it becomes. I understand fully.

Often it is a tredmill.

if the wife was ON a treadmill,
she would have less chance of divorce!
lol…
and yes,
after a few years of marriage ,
you want it to work,
so for me,
i was knocking myself out trying to please her.
when it was better that she left,
i was busy trying to save the marriage for the kid’s sake.
.
i was wrong.
could have saved myself a lot of time and energy,
instead i tried to kiss her damn ass,
and she would just resent me more for trying so hard.
NOTHING was good enough for the queen bitch.

Being co-dependent is another bitch. You DON’T need that bitch. She needs you.
