I have never lived on my own ever! What sorts of personal touches have you added to your own MGTOW havens that have helped when you either struck out on your own when you were single or divorcing? No detail too small or big!

I’ve already planned how I would like to decorate my kids room, frosted beer mugs in the freezer, giant print of Hokusai’s Great Wave over the couch.

Inspire me with tales of your MGTOW havens, or even general divorce checklist items that were helpful for you during the process.

Have a well stocked kitchen with kid friendly utensils and plenty of variety.

Get a gym membership (planet fitness- eqinox etc)

Ipad – Imac

New clothes-new sneakers-new black dress shoes-3 crisp white dress shirts -nice jeans for dates

Get a new phone and change your number. Get a new email too. Also, if i was you before I get my apt I would do some travelling if possible. South America and Europe- 

Get exactly what you want and put it exactly where you want it. If you want to put a stripper pole in the living room, do it! Don’t take our advice for what touches we use (although advice can be useful), start by setting s~~~ up exactly how you want it, you don’t need us to tell you what you want in the living room.

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. (In walnut or rosewood) and black calf skin leather.
A timesless classic from 1956 which looks TERRIFIC in any room or home. Even on it’s own.

It’s pricey but it’s HOT. It’s a cloud for your mind. THE quintessential Man’s chair.
It’s a must. (by Herman Miller) No. I don’t work on commission. But I have one myself.

Arne Jacobsen lamp c.1960. Bruce Wayne has 5 of them in “the Dark Knight”. 2 end table and 3 floor version. Available in black or white.

Saarinen end table c.1956. About $900. White marble (black is more expensive and rare)

If you have cash to blow…. 4 or 6 chairs like this (“tulip”) around a Saarinen dining table (large version of above) and you will the envy of anyone who visits. NO question.

The Nelson Bubble lamps (floor or ceiling) are lightweight and super cool. My favorite is the flat UFO shaped disc version.

The MAD MEN sofa by Futurama only $1700. Finished at the back too (with walnut all around) you can even put it in the middle of the room. The same thing sells at Jonathan Adler for $8000.

An LG LED TV.

The Eames “Surfboard” coffee table. $650

This is s~~~ you just can’t go wrong with. As they become worn and used, they maintain their “character” and you can sell hem for close to the same money you paid. No bulls~~~. All of these pieces are definitely an “investment”. Even in a mediocre apartment, the s~~~ looks fantastic.

Best of luck with your move. I hope you create a paradise for yourself.
If anyone says “MGTOW Live in their mother’s basement”, you will point and laugh your motherf~~~ing head off.

My fondest childhood memories are playing cards and board games with the rest of my family, and family outings, picnics, zoo, car trips. I absolutely do not remember TV we watched or video games.

@ Keymaster – I love your ideas, but they wouldn’t mesh well with my 1- and 4-year old. But your ideas prompted me to do a little browsing and finally figure out the type of furniture I prefer as opposed to the nonsense she picked out!

To all – thanks for the encouragement and support regarding the kids. It’s an odd spot to be in (divorcing-dad-MGTOW), but the more I read, the more I realize I’m not alone and other MGTOW have started at similar points.

As always, I am humble grateful.
