What was the Straw?

[TiredofbsParticipant 485]

For me, it was a combination of events that opened my eyes. Yes, I was blind like so many other men. She opened up a private checking account, in her name, and over the course of months, the deposits from her paycheck that went to help with groceries and other housing expenses, began to dwindle to the point that our household budget was strained. When I asked her about it, she blew me off as if it was none of my business. Several months later, I cancelled our joint checking account and opened a new one myself. She called me a hypocrite and every other name she could think of. I just laughed. After 6 months of weird behavior from her which at the time, I thought was permanent PMS, I found out she was bad mouthing me to one of her male co-workers. On top of that, one morning I was having a calm, relaxing breakfast with my pastor at the time and as we finished eating, he looked at me and said, “What else is going on? I’m like, “Well, nothing that I haven’t covered already”. He then proceeded to tell me that my wife had talked with him privately and informed him to tell me that “the status quo” in our marriage wouldn’t work anymore. He would not elaborate. He’s a nice fellow but pretty much a blue pill mangina and probably believed every word she told him. And to this day, I have no idea what they talked about. Those were just a few things. I realized I had married a lying, slanderous, self-centered, narcissistic bitch who would do anything to make herself look good and me look bad. All of this was going on while I had son who was in his freshman year of college, another son who was sophomore in high school and really struggling emotionally. And to top it all off, a daughter who is a single mother with a child, my granddaughter, living in my home. It was very depressing and the divorce was draining, taxing and a complete s~~~storm. So any of you guys who are considering taking the plunge of male servitude to a woman in our day and time, think long and hard before you throw your life away. Starting over when you’re 51 is hard. But it can be done. The good that came out of this was my son’s saw all of this s~~~ and it allows me to teach them life lessons about the “deceit” of women and how this modern day marriage setup is a pure scam for men. I have their ear.

I was never married but my last straw came with the help from this site.

I had the weight of the world on my shoulders from my last relationship and this site helped me realise what was going on.

So, I ate a lot of red pills by reading this site and at the same time my ex behaved in her typical c~~~y way. She deleted me from her facebook and hung up on me when I invited her out for a drink. I tried to call her back and she told me she was on the phone to someone else.

I moved my stuff out and broke up with her the next day.

Listening to stories like these and watching old men shake their heads saying “poor sucker doesn’t know what’s coming” as some newly married or engaged couple walked by.

That was what kept me from putting up with a pile of straw on my back. I think MGTOW is growing because it lets men say these things far more openly than ever before.

Marriage, I got warned that it was a sucker’s bet.

Well I was married for almost 17 years. We have a daughter together. Got my final divorce in July of 2014. Best day of my life next to my daughter being born. Over the years it was the lack of communication, her bipolar disorder and lack of working at a job that did it for me. I remember the day we had “the talk” it only took her bitching for 5 minutes that I just took my ring of and said I was done. She moved with her mother a week later. I got to keep the house and my car, but pay the child support every month. No alimony.

After the divorce was finalized, the bitch relocates to Florida in 6 weeks with my daughter. She married some blue pill dope who was on his 4th marriage that was a mutual acquaintance. Anyway its been 1 1/2 years already. I’m recently new to MGTOW. Digesting a lot on these forums. I’m so glad I found this site and see so many other men with the same views.

A man without a woman is like a fish without a hook.

For me I wasn’t Married, But I had been talking with the ex’s so called “best Friend” and she basically was covering for her. She let slip that she was still married and It took me a few hours to completely come around. I had lost a close friend and dealing with bereavment when I found out she was still married. My reaction was delayed because I could not process all of it at once. When I did I was fumin angry. I tried calling her and all she did was text me. I have never heard from her since and never plan on talking to that heinous bitch. I am glad its over, but the pain and nightmares still linger. I cannot believe I had to find out through her friend’s slip of the tongue. Her friend aint no angel either. Bird of a feather flock together.

my last straw was in fact my parents getting divorced, after years of my parents fighting over me growing up, having my mom “protect” me from my mean ol dad, she (almost) successfully managed to fool me into believing it all until one day, a fight bigger then anything i have ever felt or experienced before begun. Before i knew it, my parents were divorced, and before proceedings began i sat them both down and told them i want no part of it, i dont want to hear it, and if the next words out of there mouths were anything other then yes son, i will comply with your wishes, then im calling cps and im getting the hell out of here.

Since my folks wanted to keep there son in there life, they complied and kept everything to themselves

from that point on, i started my research, scoured marriage videos, didn’t find anything, discovered feminism, said hell no and asked what else is there, discovered a sandman video and watched a ton of them, discovered many more mgtow YouTube channels and proceeded to devour the knowledge contained within like a ravenous man. Now, red pill taken, digested, seeing horrible s~~~e everywhere,

I landed here, and found my peace of mind.

My peace of mind is worth more then your vagina...cunt.

Final straw? one of hundrends, at a so called family party, hers, about 150 there and I’d gone to the bar for drinks for my wife and her sister, came back and was stood behind wife and her sister who did not see me as this guy about 20 years her junior was sat next to her rubbing her thigh, she was just laughing and said ‘when can we get together again baby?’ I just put the drinks down and said f~~~ you I’m off. Only for the fact that members of my family were close by I would have floored the guy and at that point her latest affair was not common knowledge. One of many, many straws.

There was no final straw…I kept trying to keep the marriage together, like a fool, or someone who holds true to their vows.
But for every guy’s benefit, all (you) I have to do is jot down a list next to me of all the reasons to have divorced her-the entity that she’d become, and it’s like a parachute opening after it’s no longer caught in the burble of air behind your back, and you are viciously yanked upward and outward from free fall.

What a fun topic.

And the great MGTOW’s replies, wow.

I was in a loveless sexless marriage during my twenties.

When I was single after my divorce in my thirties, I got more pussy than a University toilet seat.

I explored a variety of relations~~~s which thankfully failed.

Both paths are two sides of the same c~~~y coin.

The idea of “the last straw” is interesting. It is something that happens after a series of s~~~ tests, bad deals, and at the end of a lot of f~~~ed up s~~~.

It is good to read fellow MGTOW’s insights and reports of what happened to them in their dealings with c~~~s.

In the spirit of “the last straw,” here are some highpoints of the things my woman did which f~~~ed with my head when in relations~~~s:

Hording (shoes, shampoo, bling-bling, cloths, stuff…);

Mental Illness (depression, paranoia, crazy town…) and Physical Illness. Both of them are directly proportional to how much they have their man trapped which is another “deal breaker;”

Emotional Hijacking and/ or being a “Drama Momma;”

C~~~y colonization of a man’s territory;

All things that have to do with money (excessive credit card usage and debt, purchasing stupid s~~~…);

Excessive blatant Narcissism;

And the ultimate red pill last straw is when a c~~~ attempts to get me involved with the State and/ or Police.

All of the s~~~ listed above are things that I now wish I had avoided.

Sadly, even if I intellectually knew about the risks, as a young man, I would still probably have “chased pussy” anyway while trying to find my “Unicorn.”

Here is an example of my conditioning:

What happens when a man finally comprehends the cold and calculating thoughts that are going through a woman's mind, while her eyes are brimming with tears?

My last straw was when she encouraged me to be close friends with woman friend of ours … and then turned around and accused me of having an affair. She didn’t do it to seek a divorce … she wanted something by which to control me, because like others I had run out of f~~~s to give. I have two broken fingers to remember her by.

She went so far as to invite this woman and her kids to move in and live with us after she left her husband. She kicked us both out, texted me for all of us to go to a hotel for a couple of days so she could “figure it out” … then sent a PI to take pictures of our cars at the hotel SHE sent us to. Fortunately, I saved the texts!

Crazy bitch.

I had never been in a serious relationship prior to going MGTOW so I never had to deal with any of the BS you guys did. What pushed me over the edge though is the behavior of women my age. They are some of the most vain and vapid people to ever exist. I came to the realization that women won’t add anything except headache to my life and that I would be better off focusing on my education/self/future career than wasting time trying to please someone who cannot ever be made happy.

Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed. -President Dwight D. Eisenhower
