Marriage - the cancer of one's soul, I haven't even been married - but I made the mistake of moving (with GF of the time) into a brand new house I had just built. Unknowingly, the de facto laws in Australia meant that although I was a student & working 2 jobs to pay for everything, I ended up threatened with family court when she left. Ironically she left because while studying & working 2 jobs I was never home. Thanks for the support honey. I especially enjoyed how, once we had agreed on a settlement ("S.U.G.A" money - Shut Up and Go Away) that it only took a few days for her "lady" friends (cunts too) to convince her that a two years of intermittent cocksmoking was worth more than a new (quality) car. I had to sell my soul and had my second mortgage on the same house by 29. I however, drove a $300 lada. BUT...... this has kept me well away from the evils of relationships. I am quite proud of the fact that I have been seen running down my driveway on Sunday morning yelling "oh hey - you've left your toothbrush here" "no really, its yours and it has no place in MY house" - all part of their evil thin-edge-of-the-wedge theory. So in short fuck them. Its been 15 years since I got fleeced, now in my mid forties & I am thankful for the lesson I learnt at 29. I just wish I could have reached out to a group like this then. Like a lot of men I guess, I blamed myself & eventually had a nervous breakdown - as a result of being made out it was my fault. They'll take you money & leave a wake of destruction unlike I've never known. The simple thing is - "why suck a poor mans dick when you can suck a rich one" and as we aspire to work hard & have the comforts in life WE made the sacrifices, WE took the risks, WE work / commute unbelievable hours. THEY, well hell their 20's & 30's were spent sailing / flying / tripping all around the world because...... well ya' know 'YOLO'.... I sold my youth for a good future, but try taking your "fun time memories" or your shit job to the bank to get a home loan, oh they wont give YOU a loan?? really?? Fuck you. Go back n live in uncle Joes garage .. I hear he's waiting for you in the tool shed anyway... The one lovely thing about them getting older / poorer /less secure / wrinklier - is they know in order to compete with younger girls they now have to be just that little more degrading.
