What Really Happens to Men After Divorce

[phoenixgod1995Participant 3352]

Marriage and Divorce for a man is like getting a cactus shoved up your ass. It’s painful with all the spines that go in and it is painful getting all the spines out, meanwhile Wifey gets most of the money, your home, your kids, and practically everything you own.

good share.
many men are ruined forever,
they give up under the weight of the pressure and end it .
suicide is a huge problem.
thank God for MGTOW.com..
it saves lives.

Suicide is officially the number 1 cause of death for all Australians aged between 15-44. This was on the prime time news last night.

Of course, they did NOT mention that 75% of suicides in Australia are men. Imagine the f~~~in marching in the streets if 75% were women?

They are much more likely to say “…and disturbingly, 25% of these suicides are women! What are we going to do about this dreadful epidemic among our women in their prime?”.

No marriage, no divorce.

What happens ? It takes time, usually a few years, to process the fact that so many starting assumptions about life and the society we live in are not true.
It takes time to regain your identity.

my identity was at one time bundled up in my professional career, I lost that.
My identity was at one time bundled up in my role as a father, I lost that with my kids.
My identity was bundled up in my role as a husband and provider and as part of a couple for over 25 years (from the age of 19 ) , I lost that.
My personal hobbies and interests were out of reach for several years, as I barely was able to cope with food/shelter etc, while being hounded by the state for child support.
And “close friends” for support, required treading very carefully because (often not talked about) friends are often split up onto one side or the other after a divorce. They decide which side. And that is stacked against the man because of the kids. When a couple has school aged kids often the “friends” you gravitate towards also have kids of similar age and other friends fall into the background… So when the kids stay with the mother, the adult friends also gravitate to that side….

Yeah. So it is tough. And then when the red pill is swallowed there comes a whole sense of clarity about what happened. Personally I find it hard to trust the system now – as I know my assets and earnings can easily be taken. So the incentive to work hard is also gone. But on the bright side , when you go mgtow you need so much less… Only a fraction of what was needed as a married husband/father/provider. These days I can survive comfortably and happily on the minimum wage or less, when for the 10 years from 1998-2008 my earnings where consistently in the 150-260k range. I earn a fraction of that now but have much more to spend on my own leisure activities…. Go figure

Reminds me of when I was young and single with no wife or family to support.

I make 3 times as much, but have nothing left at the end of a paycheck.

It’s draining, physically, financially, and spiritually to be the head of the household. And as far as the law and the leech is concerned, you’re only job is to keep feeding the beast.

Even right now. Watching the AFL grand final on tv. Beer in hand.. Mgtow forums on iPad… Serenity 😊 Good beer. Good footy. Total relaxation. Cost – approx $3 per beer. No whinging and whining… Bliss !
