Unicorns do not exist

[EyeswideopenParticipant 2930]

Hello all;

I just wanted to share my cautionary tale. Bottom line is, whatever you do, don’t get married.

Before I met my current ex-wife I was a very independent guy in my late 20’s; successful, reasonably good looking and had some inkling of the absolute injustice and financial destitution that a bad marriage could inflict simply on the whim of either spouse. I was a man who marched to his own drummer; a red pill lite I guess. When I met the ex, I did my due diligence. We dated for years, got along well, problem solved. She was attractive, easy going, down to earth, and seemed to understand the concept of fiscal responsibility. In short, the proverbial unicorn.

I finally relented, we got engaged and eventually married. As god as my witness, the very next day, after marriage, everything changed. The unicorn became a donkey. She became withdrawn, refused to talk, stonewalled, refused to help out around the house. I put more and more into the relationship, subconsciously upping the proverbial anti, just to get any degree of reciprocation. The vision of how great the relationship was, pre-marriage, kept me afloat in the hopes it would return to the way it was. She suddenly ended the relationship; no reason given – being blindsided at the time. I later pieced together another party was in the picture. I am devastated.

Thankfully, I lawyered up and with it being such a short marriage (a few years), with no children, I got out with very light financial damage. Yet, as small as that cheque was, it was the hardest cheque I ever had to write. She was 1000% at fault, essentially monkey branching on me. The only rational in a word was she was “bored”. Yet I still had to pay. Cleaning up the mess has taken longer then the actual marriage.

Looking back, the relationship took a toll. I gave so much emotionally and financially supporting this self proclaimed independent that I am now at a loss with my new found freedom. I escaped the “plantation”, but am baffled by all the choices placed in front of me. I am slowly rediscovering my independence; but am still having trouble figuring out which way to turn.

In closing, I kick myself – I knew better. I thought I would defy the odds. I was wrong. The current system of marriage holds no security, cost – benefit, or allure for me.  The definition of insanity is to do the same thing twice and expect a different result. That won’t be me. Where is my red pills.

Your valuable story my friend, is exactly what won’t be absorbed by the blind followers of sandman.

Thank you for sharing.          As for sandman, quoted from “Hunt for Red October,” in advance,  as to what’ll happen to his followers, “You arrogant ass, you’ve killed us all.”

I do believe unicorns existed somewhere, at some point in time, but they don’t anymore because the feminists ate them all. That’s what they do, they try to make sure no one else can have anything nice when they can’t.

Welcome, Eyeswideopen! I congratulate you on your resolve not to get burnt twice. That is wise, and wisdom is surprisingly rare.

Spot on, Rennie! You want to bet they got some white knights to skin, clean, butcher and cook them — all the while listening to tirades about patriarchal oppression?

Welcome Man !

Thanks to all for their comments.

It is my hope that I can prevent even one soul from marriage under the current system; then my experience might have some meaning.

Welcome, eyeswideopen! It seems like you were pretty lucky to escape mostly unscathed from that marriage.

Financially, that is.

I think it’s a LOT more than just the money, but how it affects a man’s general state of mind, as they begin to question everything they were taught about what they have to do for society as they go through the wringer of divorce.

I know a coworker of mine who is constantly bitter over his divorce. After he works 10 hours a day, he has been able to earn 13 DOLLARS to keep for himself…each day. After child support and alimony is deducted from his check.

Can you imagine what it’s like to work a long shift and only getting paid 13 dollars a DAY after taxes, child support, and alimony?

That would be a GREAT salary…if it was 100 years ago and a good meal was costing less than 2 dollars and a cup of coffee went for a nickel.

And THIS is what he has to live on, because he did what society expected of him and then “the lovely institution of marriage” threw it back in his face.

Hope you enjoy the forums, buddy!

@mgtow_85:

I could not agree with you more. While the financial aspect is only one, yet very large, component, the psychological trauma of having your blinders taken off is no slight matter. I like to view myself as a moral and ethical person. I am the type of man that tries to do the right thing even when no one is looking. My integrity means a lot to me.

Yet, with the current state of the no-fault divorce legislation; personal accountability, for either gender, is rendered meaningless. In fact, being responsible, self sacrificing, accountable holds you under double penality as things currently stand; it proved your ability to support the irresponsible party. In essence, modern marriage sets up a dependency relationship similar to that of a minor child. Marriage is no longer a partnership of equals, yet formalized dependency towards the more irresponsible party.

Hello to the Forum;

I wanted to revive my initial introduction thread after a long posting hiatus.Keymaster has been most gracious in helping me with some technical issues I was having.

Regardless, I am back after an 8 month posting absence and am hopeful to continue my personal growth while sharing what I have learned thus far. Yet, I have been keeping tabs on things during my travels/red-pill rage absence.
Overall, I am impressed with the quality of the posts and evolution of this community.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank some members for the wisdom and solace that their posts have provided me – especially Keymaster, brainpilot, iLiveAgain, Soulman, soldiermedic, batcave/bunkermode/stealtyMGTOW, preferPeacetoPiece, PuffinStuff, DocFenderson, escapedmentalpatient, RoyalDal – to name a few that come directly to mind. I know I have forgotten many more.

Thank-you again.

This is one of the reasons I refuse the get married, the other reason I refuse to get married is because I stand in inherit money eventually. So does she, but I do too, and would just prefer to not be tied down; I feel like I need to be able to have the choice to tell them to leave.

Why do women push marriage like they do?

Is it because they want the security of having a contract binding agreement, and lawyers on their side to take half your s~~~ if things go wrong? That sounds so f~~~ing evil, is it possibly true? I mean is this life, or a Clive Barker novel. What the f~~~. Pure horror.
