Yeah, pretty much this. I found once i stopped caring about relationships and just started living, things got much better.

And the courage to stand through it. It sucks, but it gets better.

Suzuki katana 600. Not the fastest bike by far, but fin to ride still and insurance is pretty low. Trying to figure out what bike 2 should be. Tossed up between a cruiser and a day sport.

Nice! I got a sport touring about 5 years ago. Hitting the Twisties on that thing is something else, and I never regret that purchase. Have you heard the rule about the correct amount of motocycles in a man's garage? Number of motocycles + 1

Last LTR ended via an email. That was the last straw for me, and I noped the fuck out after that. I still date once in a while, but never felt like anything more than a second date. I seem to remember by then why I am single in the first place, and go another long spell going my own way.

Not backpacking for a week, just starting out so 2 days on a pack and the car is a couple of miles away. Testing the waters for a bigger trip

I am going to have to pack dog food in, but is a combination of car camping and back woods. Starting slow

I understand worrying about the kids, but my experience was that I turned into a better person and therefore a better dad as a result of my divorce.

Finish up packing my gear for a week in the woods with the dog. No solid plans really, just going to wander around. Probably find a quiet spot on the beach for a few days, have a back country site on Lake Superior for a couple of nights. Plan is to totally go offline and just live for a while.

Hey, if you are just out trolling, then just f off, if you are not then you should hear me out on this. So, I over 40. I was about 40 when I got divorced. Pretty sure I can relate. Here is how things went down for me over the last 5 years. I was butthurt for some where around a year. I thought shit could never get any worse then it was at that moment. I was flat broke (which was a comment thing for years before that), my now ex (we could have a whole separate rant on how in hindsight she was my …

About 15 years for me, when she said she was leaving I thought life was ending. Turns out that is when it started to become enjoyable again.
/r/MGTOW25/06/17 05:07 PM

She is defending herself against the truth is my guess. I am saying this from my own experience, and there is a good chance I have this wrong, but here is my point of view. Women seem to not want to take responsibility in a divorce for the fact that they might have had some part in it ending, so by blaming the man it makes it much easier for them to vindicate what happens. When the fault is in no way theirs, anything goes. Somewhere else here I saw the recommendation of zero fucks given. Best ad…

Getting lost in my motorcycle and then finding my way back again Throwing axes and knives in the backyard while having a beer Grilling dinner almost every day Just chilling out completely by myself, doing the stuff that I decided I wanted to do

Man, I really wish that was how it is for me. My ex wants to talk on the phone all the time, which really means she want to try and use manipulation. She actually told me the other month that me, her and her new husband should all get together and hang out "for the kids sake". Um, a whole lot of of nope to that request.
/r/MGTOW10/04/17 11:41 AM

Yeah, that pretty much sums up how my ex wife was. I would work all day, come home and clean the kitchen so I could cook dinner so the kids could eat, because she was bad at. Don't miss that shit. Now I watch my brother do the same thing, but keep my opinions to myself. He does not want to here it.

Thanks for that link, that was awesome
/r/MGTOW09/04/17 01:12 PM

yeah, this is it exactly. Been divorced three years (with kids) and I do everything in my power to have all communication via email. The minute the ex gets me on the phone, it is her going back to the same old same old of trying to manipulate me. Since it no longer works against me, all it ends up doing is making me mad. Trying to make the illogical appear logical is her fools game, and I refuse to play that game any more

I agree so much on the clean slate thing. I walked away from the divorce with nothing. Flat broke and almost zero possessions. Actually doing okay financially now, can go and buy the things I really want when I want to. Last weekend I saw some throwing knives, decided I wanted them and just got them because it seems like a cool thing to learn. After 15 years of always being flat broke and way in debt, having a little money and no debt feels awesome.

So the truth is that guy was a mess. Very entertaining, and at his core he has the right ideas, but drowned it in booze if his writing reflects his life at all. I pull one of his books out from time to time and soak up the pure crazy. I never want to go all the way to where he was, but at least part way once in a while makes life, well a life worth living

Same with online dating profiles. Some even have the date in the picture. Why would you put up a picture from 10 years ago... Oh yeah, that's right
/r/MGTOW25/03/17 07:13 PM

Yeap, as my divorce played out I saw this all first hand. I was shocked at first, but eventually came to the realization that is how it is. MGTOW has just reenforced that for me.

Man, the half truth thing is crazy. I still have some online dating profiles set up that I never used but never bothered to delete. Some woman messaged me the other day, and I decided why not meet her. Her profile was she likes hiking and camping, which I am also pretty into. Asked her about hiking, she dodges for a bit before admitting that she does not really hike, more like walks to the street from her door. Ask about camping, she has a bunch of camping gear which has not been even looked at …

The way I think about women these days is this. Do this woman make me happy right now, and to hell with tomorrow. They might leave today, maybe tomorrow, but they are going to leave (or I am going to) so I don't stress that at all. It seems to piss them off, when I am will to compromise but am not willing to change my whole me because that is what they want. And when they ask why, and I tell the truth, that I live the way I do because experience has shown me that they could bail at any second, w…

I would get sad because I didn't have some beautiful wife that I thought was somehow out there for me. WRONG! :-) In fact, the chances of me dating what I imagined was very unlikely, and, even if it did happen, I've learned from guys on this group who have dated attractive women often, that there is a reasonable chance that it wouldn't have worked out, or even could have ruined my life for years. So I had the attractive wife, and my experience is what you say in your last sentence of this paragr…

You can be resentful, and even hate women that had hurt you. But we have to be careful assigning women the status of "less-than-human", and sometimes I feel that's the direction that some of us are heading to. I want to springboard off this some. Some advice I got not that long ago is that the opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. At times, one needs to go with hate because they have not reached a state where indifference is an option. And that is OK to get past that point. But to tr…

Definitely don't say divorce until you are ready to pull the trigger on it now. And watch for signs that the other party is doing things financially which are clues. My ex was hiding cash from her dad and trying to get me to buy a house I could not afford. Things like this should be serious red flags.

Oh, she was a bulldog. And it was the best thing that happened to me. She understood perfectly well what the next moves were going to be and was able to counter them with ease.
/r/MGTOW26/12/16 01:30 PM

Similar thing for me. She wanted the divorce, but would not file for some reason. I ended up filing, got an attorney (which she first tried to talk me out of then told me that my attorney was bad for me, LOL) who I paid a bunch of money to upfront to prevent financial ruin long term. Not sure I would classify the result as winning, but I sure as hell did not lose either.

LOL, divorce can really change your outlook on things. I know, been there done that. But it can also just set you up to be a victim again. I have also watched that happen, to which I just shake my head and think "Poor fool"

I treated myself to an hour at the AMP for Xmas. Was money well spent as far as I am concerned.

Just wanted to throw my two cents into the thread. I also was getting setup to be "hung out to dry" in a divorce a few years ago. And in truth, if it was not for my lawyer (who was a woman) I probably would have. What I learned through that experience is the true nature of the woman I had been married to and possibly women in general. I learned how to stand for myself, fight for what was important to me. And I can agree that whole thing sucked in some ways, but the aftermath made me a much stron…

My ex wife was a hard core athiest when we were together. Her new husband is religious, and now she goes to church every week. Her for sure, but maybe all women, are chameleons and adopt their colors to match the environment they are in. I wonder if they ever glimpse the real person they are or honestly believe the costume they wear.

I should add that that it ended when I stopped being a bitch and started standing up for myself. I sit back and watch as her new guy gives her all the shit she wanted and I refused. It is sort of amusing to watch. And some is just straight out hilarious. She made him sell his motorcycle (which he had just bought before she came into the picture) because she did not like it.

Oh, the plug was pulled over three years ago. She is already remarried. Guess I should have made that clear. I will have to say that divorce, then dating, then mgtow have pretty much all lined up to open my eyes. I guess I am not completely aligned with mgtow, because I find some entertainment with women, but have no patience for bull shit and ghost as soon as it starts. And expect the BS from the beginning.

The timeline is off a bit, but it pretty much sounds like my marriage. And as far as ever going down the path again, all I can say is a whole lot of nope.
/r/MGTOW19/12/16 06:49 PM

Agreed. My ex goes crazy over the fact that I refuse undocumented communication, but life lessons have proved it is necessary.

Lol. My black Friday was home depot for 200 pounds of gravel and an outlet cover. Still needed to stop and get a drink afterwards. Oh, and I guess also hitting the AMP, but there were no deals there last night

This I also went through a divorce after 15 years. It took me a while longer than 6 months to get past all of that, but when I finally did it was pretty liberating. I did not know about MGTOW at that point, but it pretty much summed up where I landed once I figured out it was going to be OK. A single woman (separated, not divorced) recently moved next door and was asking me how long I had been single, to which I replied a little over 3 years. She than started asking me how I could not be bored b…

So, I went through all of these things also. I think she actually started believing her bs after a while. Made up some stuff about how I was abusing my kids and was going to report me and take the kids if I did not sign an absurd agreement immediately. Turns out she was trying to protect a raise she got. Three years later, and now I get an email that she wants me, her and her new husband to be friends and hang out together "for the kids". How easily they forget what really went down.
