I've got 3. All are still very young. Their mother made me absolutely miserable. It wasn't a train wreck of a divorce, but it was still ugly and painful. I hated being married, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on the divorce because of them. I couldn't walk out in my kids. The ex had no qualms about that however! Women have a switch. When they're done with you they're done. In the end it was a relief.

I still date occasionally but only for sex. A woman can never be anything more than a sex object for me now. What else could a woman possible offer? I can cook my own food and do my own laundry and cleaning. I have my kids. I don't want any more. Blended families are disasters. Women are shitty activity partners. I've dated several highly educated women (doctors, lawyers, etc). I married one of them. None of them were in any way interesting to me intellectually.

I'm doing what I can to raise my girls right. I'm planting ideas I hope will inoculate them against liberalism and feminism and everything else in this sea of decaying garbage that is western civilization. I've taught them that men and women are very different and have vastly different strengths and weaknesses. We watch a lot of nature shows. I've started to expose them to biological concepts such as female choice, dominance hierarchies, etc. Almost every time we are faced with choices I emphasize logic-based decision making vs emotions and anticipating the consequences of each potential choice. I've taught them that marriage is about children and family and the well-being of society as a whole, not about women's happiness and expectations. I taught them that television in general is harmful for them because it will teach them things that can't possibly be true. Some days I have hope for them. Other days I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. In the end I just soldier on and enjoy our time together as much as I can. They are all the emotional connection I will ever need.

I came out of the divorce with joint legal and physical custody, no debts, 85% of my retirement, and enough cash to buy a nice house free and clear. I'm 42 and in good health. I'm doing better than most. I'm staying with a relative for the moment because I'm looking at changing jobs and commuting in a different direction. Life is on an upward trajectory. Never again will I allow a woman to throw me off course.

Curious what other MGTOW dads with daughters experience.
