Watching a Friends’ Marriage Nosedive

[mrpropmechParticipant 216]

So a friend of mine I have known maybe 4 years now, both him and his wife are service members, with a kid who is 2 years old I think. Anyways, she is/was a stereotypical christian girl, the “good girl type”, I always knew to run quickly from them before MGTOW but anyways she’s maybe a solid 6 possibly 7. Low and behold she does a complete 180 on him and starts talking to other men, I don’t know how far any of them went and if he knows he has not told me but regardless he found out, one thing lead to another and here they are in divorce rows. When this all first started I advised him to immediately get a lawyer and plan for this as he wasn’t doing it and was thinking with just a paralegal they could “mutually part ways”, I proceeded to inform him that it likely will not go that way and she was pulling the wool over his eyes and will come back for all he has more than likely including their kid. I am sure she knows full well how she can play her hand and knows how she will lead him along until she hits him with the proceedings. They have gone back and forth apparently on whether to continue the divorce or not, I feel bad for the kid having to see all this at such a young age. She has told him that they will split custody 50/50 which he wants to believe, he has said his kid is the most important out of the whole thing and she knows clearly how he feels. I have been trying to slip him red pills very subtly but it’s not really caught on. From what I understand he was one of those guys in highschool who always had to have a girlfriend, I’m sure some of you remember them. I know there are alot of divorce stories on here, hopefully this can show some prospective mgtows that no matter their religion, color or creed when women are given the opportunity through family court to screw over the man, they will. It’s been a few months since I last talked to him about this and do not know if they have gotten any closer to the divorce. But I do know he drinks alot and has been drinking more because of all the stress he is under.

By all means give him the address of this site.
I can also recommend Viva la Manosphere: http://vivalamanosphere.com/ as a source of info about divorce.

It’s frustrating and sad to watch a friend go through it. At my company, where I’ve worked 10 years, I’ve watched the cycle with several of my coworkers. These are people that, when they first started, were only a year or two out of college. They were happy, smart, motivated guys with “their lives ahead of them.”

Fast forward to the present: Most are married with a kid or two, the smiles are gone and the hours are long. A couple of guys that I used to get a beer and play music with are now chained up good. Many work late just to avoid going home and dealing with it. They tell me how lucky I am. Lucky indeed.

Be a good ear and a good shoulder. That’s what friends are for

I’d at least point him to some red pill videos, but to a lot of men out there, evidence can be staring them right in the face, and they still won’t get it. Sometimes all it takes is for them to get burned by divorce, and other times they will just get re married. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. If he doesn’t want to know the truth, then he won’t. It sucks, man, but over time she’ll slowly pull him away from you.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

Marriage is a dead lead weight! It’s like watching a guy try to fly a pedal powered aircraft! no matter how much effort, all he can do is get a couple feet of the ground and go very slow, and crash at the slightest bit of disturbance. I’d rather go skydiving with no parachute and tied to an anvil!

Tough to watch. Just be there for your friend, remember. .if you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans. ..

There are no horrors films that can touch watching a friend … or any man … go through the grinder.

And yet … they line up … and walk right in.

And yet men continue to jump head first into the meatgrinder of marriage.

it really is heart breaking.

[mrpropmechParticipant 216]

Yea it sucks to see it happen, but I know you guys are right about leading a horse to water. All I know is I don’t want it to happen to me.

Tell him to empty out his savings and hide them somewhere in your house until a good 6 months to a year after the divorce. Divorce is actually one of the most selfish privileges woman wield in this day and age. Especially when you have children because they just use them to hurt you.

Even with sites such as this and the amount of stories available on the internet men are still happily volunteering to get married. The fact that at least 50% of marriages end in divorce doesn’t seem to make any difference.

The problem is caused because men do not believe their perfect little snowflake would ever cheat on them or put them through divorce rape. When men such as myself try and warn them we are just abused and told that we are bitter and twisted. The men do not want to listen, so trying to educate them is a total waste of time. They all believe in NAWALT and that they have found their perfect unicorn.

Unfortunately you do not know what a woman is really like until you are married to her and then it is too late. There is a perception that you have to get married and have 2.4 children and most people do not even stop to think to ask themselves why this is the case. If they stopped and had a look at the people who are already in this situation they would realise how s~~~ it is.

I know a few people in their early 30 who are about to get married and are planning on having a couple of kids. I just feel like saying you are about to hit your prime and life is going to get f~~~ing amazing for you so don’t throw it all away to be trapped like a slave to get occasional reward sex and have to support two annoying screaming kids who will take up and spare time and money you have.

They seem to be heading towards their fate in blissful ignorance.

For women, everything eventually boils down to Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

I love KM’s response to NAWALT, something to the effect of saying not all women are like that, is acknowledging that MOST ARE. I’ve been using that one alot, works wonders
