My wife could be f~~~ing mean…really hurtful and unreasonable. I attributed some of that to being angry about her poor health but f~~~, I didn’t give her any of her health problems. Granted, as a “flawed” male, I made honest mistakes, but those mistakes didn’t merit her going from zero to crazy in 2 seconds flat. I tried to understand her reaction and talked about it to some female relatives in her age group. Their response? It’s because she feels safe with you, they ALL said. She can act like that with you and you will take it and not leave. This made my f~~~ing head spin. Okay, I responded….let me get this straight. She acts like a c~~~ to me because she knows I will take the abuse and not leave? Why doesn’t she do this s~~~ with someone else that won’t leave and be protective and grateful to me for always being there to support her? THAT is truly f~~~ed up beyond belief! So….it’s okay that she crushes my soul knowing I will always be her cheerleader and support her financially, spiritually, and emotionally? Well then….using your logic (or lack thereof) it would be alright if I verbally abuse her and make her feel like s~~~ because I feel the same way about her? No…..that’s different, they said. That would be abuse, they said. I see. I’m her caregiver, sole source of income, loyal husband, and emotional punching bag. I asked these females, doesn’t this seem just a little crazy and unfair to you? To a person, they said no. I didn’t press them to explain because there was no way, in my mind, that they could justify their unfair and aberrant belief system to me. What a bunch of sick douches! So, evidently, women don’t know just how effing crazy they are or refuse to acknowledge how effing crazy they are. Talk about a one way mentality! This was one of many moments of clarity (red pill) I had regarding women. It is truly an enlightening and exhilarating experience knowing that I am no longer someones emotional punching bag. It is a gift that I will never take for granted or squander. FREEDOM!!!

Welcome! I’m sorry that you had to be a punching bag, and I’m happy that you wised up.

Today, I thank this ice cold beer I heard him.

Welcome to the MGTOW Forums!

what about marriage?”. “DON’T” he said. But he wasn’t very articulate, and couldn’t really explain why

I reckon older men from that era (assuming we are of a similar age) didn’t articulate very well. I recall my father saying to me; ” be very careful with whom you get involved with” and that was about it. I know he was talking about my mother. My dad’s married life served as a prime example of how a man can lose total and utter freedom to a women.

I’m not sure if these are past life mistakes or results. Sounds fluffy, but if you repeat bad life choices, then they are mistake!

Appreciate your open honesty @Quite Thom
