Greetings. Good weekend getting my boat in the water. While there I observed a caught simp and observed his complaint and his acceptance of being caught. People were asking him if he was going out on the water with his boat. His wife wasn't around so he could be candid. He said "We will see, it's up to my wife. Getting her on the boat is a battle every time." His comment made me pause. I wanted to go up to him and say "sorry that you have to go through that." But I didn't because others were around - simps, white knights, women, children, etc. Later in the evening, just before dusk, he saw me coming out of the clubhouse and kind of stared at me. It could have been a stare of jealousy or a stare of envy or a stare of contempt (that I wasn't going along with society's narrative which he had). He has three young children, a small dog and his wife - whom he placates and submits to, to keep her happy. I avoided the crowd and did my own thing to watch the fireworks up over the water. In the background were screaming kids, single mothers, married mothers, simps, white knights and others. I felt them watching me enjoy my freedom, enjoy watching the fireworks my own way. And it felt good that I had, for the time being, escaped and was enjoying my freedom - true peaceful freedom outside of the constraints of the chains of relationships, relationship norms and societies expectations that us men worship a woman, family, etc. Can anyone relate to these experiences? Peace - true freedom experiencing peace.
