or maybe most of you knew,

but man, someone close to me is going to get divorced rape, he is delaying the process, and still insists his cheating wife who slept with MANY MANY men throughout the relationship is a good mom, simply because she takes his son for the weekend and takes care of him, without making any connection that his son's delayed speech and his son being out of control are signs of bad mothering. He chalks it up to "that is how he is" and that "all kids are different".

He also uses his salary and money as a major cope, kinda inferring i am not as successful since he has worked hard and knows how to make money, and taking being a a beast of burden as pride.

He has hinted many times that there is still hope, that she is still his WIFE, and won't listen to anything I have to say.

They have been married for 7 years and he says he is in no hurry, and still talks about what he may or may not do in terms of hope and family. I can see why he has been so adamant to divorce as he comes from a broken home, and thinks that his wife may come around.

What he doesn't see is that she can divorce rape him now, he is screwed, BUT....all she has to do is go along with his plan of keeping the family together for his kid and then once the ticking time bomb goes past TEN years of marriage, BOOOOOOOOOM......FOREVER divorce rape.

This guy got successful with one stock and thinks he is a master of money, has a pension and other assets to lose.

But hope, hope with a whore, hope with the girl that basically suckered him into marriage (he's a beta sucker) and got her a lotto ticket (kid) is going to ruin him.

He is my friend, I love him, and after swallowing the red pill, see his naivety for what it is. I am no better, but I at least had some red pill injected into me through my time in the Marines, so his tolerance for pain and bullshit to live the blue pill fantasy is strong.

He has no concept that what he feels and thinks about keeping the family together means jack shit to his whore wife. Perhaps he is delaying the inevitable because he just doesn't want to confront what is coming, or he really is clueless to what women are capable of.

He refuses to get lawyers involved at this point since they want to work things out now and see what happens, but my prediction is he will get divorced rape after the ten years.

She is post wall, a bitch, selfish, uses her kid as an accessory. He is no better, since his way of calming the kid down is shoving a device in his face and having a messy room full of toys, yet i cannot give him advice because he is right, I don't have kids. Even though I was a middle school teacher with no classroom management problems, was highly respected by 99% of my peers and the students, and have a sister with a niece who I see on a weekly basis at my parents and have no devices for her, do active things with her like drawing, building, cooking or going to parks.

Betas extend their hopelessness to the way they raise their kids and marriage, as random event to push through, accepting the hardships as something they have to bear.

Fortunately for now, he has 50-50 custody, but the white knighting he does for his whore because she is technically still his wife is unbelievable.

Thanks for reading this rant if you have made it this far.

He is lost, gone, and this will probably be it for me and him, unless he grows some balls. It is tough to see your friend go down in flames, especially when we were roommates in college, broke, barely making it by to scrape up money to live in an apartment with 5 other friends. He worked hard to get what he wants, but unfortunately he had no father that gave a shit about him, beat him (so did mine and that is another post of how fucked up dads ruin kids) and is sticking to the life script of the American dream, not giving a shit that he is the only actor going by the script. I love him like a brother, but at this point, i have to let him be.

He told me "just because you got divorced doesn't mean I am."

FUCK....at least I left my wife the minute I found out the red flags were there and bailed, no divorce rape, and got her in her prime 22-28. This guy married her when she was 31, and even admitted there were red flags , i.e., she literally told him she didn't want to be a housewife, even though she didn't work (another red flag). and he is still holding on to hope.

Yea guys, many men are mentally destroyed out of the gate, terrible upbringing destroying self worth, holding on to that American Dream, that is nothing but a nightmare.

Stay strong gentlemen. This could have been any of us without the intervention of the Red Pill.

Happy New Year. :(
