Maybe it's worth it to lose half of everything you have

[Anonymous 0]

My opinion on welfare is that it’s a good thing. The people on welfare would make really s~~~ty workers. It’s possibly better to pay their lazy asses to not work.

But, what about divorce. Is it worth it to lose half of everything? Maybe, for peace of mind. My problem is that I’m retired: half of everything is literally half of everything I will probably ever have. This is not such an easy decision.

My view on divorce is the same as getting married in the first place — Do hot do it!

I’d recommend pulling a stealthy and just bid your time and work on yourself.

Let me give you the positive viewpoint. I’ve said this to a couple of my best friends and my brother, and they said it back to me: “Congratulations!!! You just got half your s~~~ back!”

Accept that person will never stop asking for more. The person who does s~~~ty work should at least have a slightly better perspective on the situation.

There are a ton of factors that need to go into such a decision. How much money is involved, how unbearable is she, kids involvement, your age…and so on.

Ok. Then do it.

How bad is it ?
Is she causing you daily mental anguish ?
Is she worsening your health, mental and/or physical ?
How much will you have after divorce?
How much do you NEED ?
Do you have a lot of stuff/expenses that you REALLy don’t NEED, but are just used to having ?
How many YEARS do you think/guess/hope left that you will have good health ?

For example, If you were to get divorced could you afford: to own YOUR residence (IE: trailer, condo, small house etc.), car, food, additional living expenses/bills, and a few bucks in your pocket to do/have a couple few interest/hobbies etc.

If you can do all of the above “reasonably” well. Then in my opinion, the only thing that is REALLY stopping you is yourself.

Have heard that often and it’s a mistake – thinking “Divorce was worth every penny” – just to get rid of her. But wasn’t that her aim? To crawl under his skin, and allow herself to be so unbearable to want to live with anymore that he would PAY ANYTHING for her to get lost and go away? So much so, that he would be GRATEFUL for it?

Have also heard “it’s cheaper to keep her”.

A man could have “peace of mind” without her. What kind of testament to marriage is it when a man is GRATEFUL to give half of everything he worked for….. in order to have a basic essential like “peace of mind”.

If a man doesn’t even have peace of mind anymore. Who cares about the rest of it. Don’t even talk about “love”, mutual understanding, “soulmates”, and all that other monkey s~~~.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Women think it’s a great deal, if that helps.

Thanks for the great responses. I think I have my answer. It’s complicated and not nearly as bad as I’ve seen. Just from reading on MGTOW, I’ve gotten some degree of mental peace. I should probably stay with it. Realistically, life expectancy is only 4608 Days, 21 Hours, 08 Minutes, 13 Seconds…(see http://www.death-clock.org)

BAHAHAHA I enjoy this crap 🙂

Unless I tap myself out of this circus, I have 25.9 years left
Using BMI is such a crock of s~~~ for anything indicating health.
I’m 52 years old and I have a body fat measurement of less than 1%, if you calculate my vices and injuries together I’m still physically healthier than a majority of the population.
My Dr gets p~~~ed at me for it because I tell him i still need to do physical fitness s~~~ to be healthier.

I’m not bragging, I just figure if a predator does get me while I’m out hunting. It deserves a reasonably healthy meal.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Worth it.

It’s better to lose half of everything you have than to stay in a marriage one second longer than you have to. Of course, it’s a lot better to simply never get married in the first place.

But you take whatever best path is open to you from where you currently are.

Regarding welfare… I’d be all for government taking care of people who are, for whatever reason, incapable of taking care of themselves… so long as we could thereby extract some value from them. Put them to work cleaning highways, shoveling gravel, sanitizing telephones, licking stamps… something.

Giving someone money to live without producing anything of value is demoralizing both for the individual and for the society. Let them earn their keep to the best of their ability or let them seek support in the private sector. There are plenty of bleeding heart virtue signalers who would be happy to share their daily bread with someone, right? Just don’t steal my bread from me at the point of a gun to give to someone who can’t be bothered to get their own.

Like I said it’s complicated. Just one example: I took a huge advance on my inheritance from my mom and commingled it into our current house. Community property laws here say adios to half of the house. Whereas, if I had not touched mom’s cash, my inheritance would be mine 100%.

If she isn’t completely unbearable, stick with it and ghost. I’m guessing you don’t have to worry about her f~~~ing other guys, unless she’s much younger.

Just out to prove a point, was that the ex-wife’s idea?

You lose half your stuff but you gain (fill in the blank)

Now imagine living this way – divorced – until you are 99 and on your death bed. Look back and asked yourself if you made the right decision.

[FrostByteParticipant 19005]

I’ve lost more than half my stuff twice and that puts losses between 800,000 and 1M. Been flat broke with nothing twice too.
Lesson I learned are this
1. Sovereignty is better than anything
2. Sovereignty leads to a faster more healthy recovery
3. It really doesn’t take that long to rebuild if you don’t play the victim and put your ass back on track.
4. Being the SOLE owner of your time, your health, your soul, your body and your mind, has no equal.

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

That was all my idea about commingling the inheritance to buy the house. At least she’s not cheating and not young enough for that to even be much of a possibility.

I did the inheritance very similar ORG, but in my case in the end I am glad SHE demanded a divorce. I fought it. I fought her over the reasonability. Yup, I’m out about quarter million but I resolved to be unhateing and better physically and mentally every day.
28 yrs married. I went through unrelenting anger for about 9 months but it birthed a new attitude and lifestyle to me. Money is nice to have but its damn well not worth dying early for. At many times I was eager to meet up with my dead family and friends. I’m now putting that off as long as I can. We shall meet in the palace of light eventually.

MY decision was to make the best of a bad situation and SHE handed me the D, but I’m f~~~ing WINNING BABY. I’m healthy, I love working again, I have MY vacation time for ME, have the time of my life every day. Better relations with my kids too.

Yeah I tried out the carousel afterward but now that I’ve had the best sex ever, the best gals, the most fun, I need no more. DONE. I had the love of my life, can’t have her, don’t need her. Had the neatest cars, irons, toys, parents(passed), and now that all that is gone, I’m happy and thankful and living the greatest life I had ever imagined.

KM, I can agree to a point. But, since I had my head and paycheck chopped and handed over, I became so much better for it, its awesome and still surprising me.

No hate, no anger. Ex and I will have a dinner with the kids about once a month or two.

I eat good food, I cook and clean my way and rarely eat out. Healthier than ever (mid 50’s). NO sex. I do whatever I want whenever I want. I’M OFF THE PLANTATION. and she has to work. >and clean the litter box<

ahhh.

I don’t advocate divorce. I fought against it.
But I’m f~~~ing so happy now its the better thing to happen in 20yrs for me. Only six more yrs of alimony to go. Seriously, I have no qualms or remorse or anger to write that thousand dollars every month. I see the end.
All coworkers and even total strangers say to me,”You look happier than I’ve ever seen a person.”
In my case.
Worth it twice over.

with joy/without hate

I have a retired acquaintance of mine who’s about 70, and remains married just because it’s easier in some ways to just stay. He really can’t stand her, but he has had the basement completely refinished, and he lives there, and she lives upstairs.

They still eat meals together, and talk with one another as needed, but that’s about it.

Anyways, you’re not alone. There are many married men that are just going through the motions because it’s “easier” for them in many ways then “starting over”.

To each his own !! You MUST do whatever is best for YOUR unique situation. It’s Your life, and You have to LIVE it !!
