Has anyone else had a rough time talking about MGTOW to their family? Share you story please…

It has not changed my mind at all, just wish they could understand and be on board….

The thing that occurs to me is that if Jim is of a comparable age to your mother, is this his first marriage?

If not then how did he get out of his last marriage and keep his ranch or does his ex wife still own a piece?

It sounds like Jim could be an old fashioned traditionalist.  If true, then getting him to change his mind, let alone accepting your choice, would be tantamount to telling him that horses are for eating and cows are for riding.

Going your own way does not mean that anyone is going with you.  Either in agreement or in journey.

I agree.

I’ve tried once to go in context with it, and no one should ever do this, because if it doesn’t suit their paradigm, they will make weird excuses, like something is wrong with you, I remember one a year or two, where it went like something, “I needed a woman, so I could be kept in check”, I literally laughed at that, and said “no thanks, I like living my life, how I see fit”.

So never really talk about MGTOW with family, they probably won’t understand it, nor do they want to, since it’s probably against their current world view, which they have been crushed by, and seeing someone avoiding their misery, will make them rattle those chains with fury.

And although she is no NAWALT, at least she has SOME sense. She doesn’t treat my father as s~~~ty, and she showed him a lot of empathy in the past. Although I can recognize when she tries to pull the leash on him. Of course, can’t call it out or my father will take her side. She tried the same thing with me (both of them tried, to be honest) and I happen to see through. Guilt is not effective with me as they wished (or expected) and ironically, sometimes it has the opposite effect that they desire.

Nevertheless, although I can see them trying to make me follow the “tradcon way”, it is really subtle and can be easily ignored. You know, the old “you will find someone, someday” and all that talk. I don’t understand though, why would I want someone that is: a) all used up after riding the c~~~ carousel for not other reason then “because she could”. b) will be with me probably ONLY for my money and therefore c) will not only leave me if this means she can have my possessions, but most likely will basically drive me to near suicide for no other reason then: because she can.

I don’t know, but I value my life a little bit higher then this.

Anyway, sorry to hear what happened to you and your family. But different people, have different backgrounds and therefore different outlooks on life, and that is not necessary a bad thing. When common sense is not one of those outlooks and they try to enforce THEIR views on YOUR life that’s when s~~~ happens.

Good luck you.

Meaning…. if you have special insight into something, have a power like seeing through clothing, or reading minds…. would you tell anyone? Or keep it to yourself. I remember my moment of clarity and when I REALLY started to see the translations that came out of a woman’s mouth when she opened it. She would say one thing and – and like Neo decoded the Matrix – I was able to know what the f~~~ was going on, and what she was really saying. It just didn’t work on me anymore. It was x-ray vision.

But I would never tell her this. I would just smile, nod, and drop the right bomb at the right moment.

PUBLICLY – or over dinner – all I had to do when the subject of “marriage” came up was mention no interest in signing “the CONTRACT”. Mentioning “the marriage contract” completely de-romanticizes it and every one knows what you’re talking about. It instantly strips away images of the wedding, the cake, the silly emotional masturbation ritual, the flowers, the gifts, the ring, the dress… and shatters all of their illusions. Just by mentioning zero willingness in signing the contract, the table goes completely quiet.

No need to talk about or explain “MGTOW”. No “online men’s group”. No explaining it (or yourself) required . Just “Oh, I will would never sign a marriage contract with a woman who hates me enough to actually let me go through with it”…. and you can just sit back and watch the mushroom cloud over the table.

They are on on a need-to-know basis….. and they don’t need to know.

Yes, do share. I am interested in knowing about Jim’s wisdom as well.

When it comes to MGTOW it’s better to internalize it.

It has sorts of exponential growth if reasoned only with yourself. It keeps the pollution out. Gives a mental clarity. Ever asked for help on an upcoming exam/assignment from a dumbf~~~ who was too embarassed to admit s/he knows no better? Yea, that’s what explaining blue pillers/women what MGTOW is about like. You will see them shooting their own foot. They will see you as weird/loser. No win situation.
