Well I have been lurking for awhile and thought it about time to tell my tale of woe. Reading your stories, some heart-rending, gave me cause to reflect on my experiences and be thankful for escaping the clutches of the female relatively unscathed. I am now in my mid fifties and have been MGTOW for about fifteen years. It wasn’t a conscious decision on my part, indeed I didn’t know about the MGTOW movement until fairly recently. The interweb is a wonderous thing. It was a lifestyle choice I found to be a natural fit for my current circumstances.
I married fairly late, in my thirties. Played the field in my younger days, as you do. Eventually met what I thought would be the perfect girl for me. Everything was great, no obvious “red flags” looking back. Sadly based I my experiences there is very little loyalty to be found in the modern female. Marriage vows carry about as much weight to them as the small print on their latest shoe sales receipt. Life was good for the first six months. We were both working and had a reasonable standard of living. All the bills were being paid on time. Then the sex started to dry up. After a few years I got the “I’m not happy” speech. Eventually I got the “I love you but I’m not IN love with you speech”. Finally I got hit with a “no fault” divorce. So there I was, in my early forties, financially devastated and alone. My Serenity Valley moment.
After my divorce I dated around for awhile. But being older and a lot wiser, I eventually grew weary of all the utter bulls~~~. I resolved to have nothing further to do with females and whatever it took I was going to get back on my feet. For the last fifteen years I have had no social life. Every available spare dollar has gone to pay off debts. I am now happy to report that I am debt free and own my own house. I am pretty much a “ghost” now, working just enough to pay bills and the occasional toy as the fancy takes me.
The absolute icing on the cake for me comes with the news that my ex wife, who thought she could do better without me, is now relying on government welfare, living in a first floor apartment with her six cats! I kid you not.
I don’t consider myself to be angry or bitter, I certainly don’t hate women but I don’t like certain aspects of their nature and want nothing more to do with them. Unfortunately it’s not possible to avoid them completely and in day to day interactions I tend to treat them like they Can’t Understand Normal Thinking unless or until they prove otherwise.
For you younger guys out there, as someone who has been through the divorce mill, I offer a few words of wisdom. If you have any assets, do not under any circumstances get married. You can get hit with a no fault divorce and lose half of your s~~~. If you have no assets and you are considering a relationship, get your prospective partner to pay exactly half of everything you purchase and the best of luck to you. Never share a bank account or credit card with a female. Keep your finances separate and hide a fraction of your resources as a “Get Out Of Dodge” fund if, or more probably when, it’s required.
Thank you for allowing this little rage against the machine. MGTOW for life!
Theres no place I can be since I found Serenity
