I'm so sick of seeing this crap from women, especially mothers. Her going out, getting drunk, and doing God knows what (or who) while you sit home taking care of the kids is probably the most selfish pathetic thing a person can do.
Do you think this is just a woman thing?
Of course not. But statistically, women are checking out of marriages in record numbers nowadays
I hear what you are saying Terrapin and I can tell by your posts you are a red pill guy who quotes that 80% of divorces are initiated by women. What it doesn't tell you is why they are filing for divorce. Many file because they don't want to be with someone they are no longer attracted to because men typically become complacent in marriages. I spoke to a MC once who had been doing it for 30 years and he said he never once saw a woman leave a healthy, strong secure man. So my view wasn't to mope and complain that all women are no good and will eventually leave, my view was to become the healthy, strong secure man that a woman would never want to leave.
The choice is yours. Learn from your mistakes or mope around on how you've been done dirty by your XW and women are evil.
I can tell you that when you find a good woman who sees you and treats you like a King, there is no better feeling in the world.
Yeah, I may not be the best person to give advice on the subject. I've just read and watched thousands of articles, message boards, podcasts, videos, etc, and the story is nearly always the same. We've seen it here for years, right down to the same exact talking points.
And while I'm still pro marriage, pro saving marriages, etc, I have absolutely zero empathy or compassion for someone that neglects and/or walks out on their children. If there's abuse, infidelity, etc, I can see that. But all of this crap like 'I need to find myself', 'I need to do me', 'I need to have fun', etc, is just childish selfish [censored].
I do agree about loss of attraction, complacency, etc.
