Hey guys. This is an update to my previous post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/acqo2b/aita_for_being_upset_with_my_wife_for_going_out/
as I got a lot of feedback about how to handle the situation. Thanks a lot for all of that. It was an unexpected and overwhelming response and I went through as many as I could.
I know it’s been a few months, but I needed time to think and talk with my wife about the whole thing.
It’s been brought to my attention that I may have not been the best husband. We both have many flaws, and have been far from perfect in this relationship, and it turns out we both have terrible communication skills.
Long story short, when she came home that night we talked -well, argued- about it. The argument led to me walking out to go stay at my brother’s house for two nights. My brother, who is also married, suggested marriage counseling to see if we can get any suspicions or issues out in the open easier, so I called her, recommended it, and we had a session booked for the following week.
Yes, she admitted during counseling that she did occasionally make out with other guys when going out drinking with friends. On her behalf, her issue was that she felt I was not prioritizing her enough. That I wasn’t giving her enough time. Also that I never bothered that ask what she wanted from me. She has been considering a divorce for about a year now, so this might be what our relationship would ultimately come to.
I’m purposefully leaving out a lot of personal information as I don’t really like sharing everything, but all I have to say is that this past year for us hasn’t exactly been the best for us. This might be the most time we have spent talking every day for a while- discussing divorce plans, where we plan to go, who’s keeping what, etc.
We don’t hate each other. We both realized we are drifting apart, sooner than we realized. But we aren’t really motivated enough to keep ourselves together. This might be for the best. If I hadn’t posted anything about the ring situation and approached it head on, I probably would have been in even more of a mess.
Thanks guys.
tl;dr: We went to marriage counseling. She admitted she made out with other guys. I don’t prioritize her enough. We are getting a divorce.

This dude has been programmed for so long. That’s why he has no self respect.

This is what women do. After a while they complain to their partner that they arent prioritized. Then if their partner prioritizes them, they get sick of all the attention. If not then they cheat.
[–]anti-hypergamist13 points14 points15 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Was gonna point that out too, except she would cheat even if he did prioritise her. She's full of shit. It's simply a rationalization to do what she was going to do anyway, no matter what.

This is why marriage has ZERO benefit for a man. Even if you kick that cheating whore out, she's gonna leave with half and then some.
She complains that he did not prioritize her enough, but does she prioritize him? This is the mind of women, always the victim, never take responsibility.
Stay away from marriage.

I bet she didn't just make out with other men. She is trying to cover up her promiscuity and I think deep down he knows it, but doesn't want to accept it. He will fall victim to another leech in the foreseeable future.

"copping to a lesser charge" you confess to a small crime, to negate suspicion of a larger one. See it on "Cops" all the time.
[–]bullshitasaurus1 point2 points3 points (1 child) | Copy Link
Exactly. If he calls her out and tells her he doesn’t trust her anymore, he’s afraid of the programmatically destined backlash that he’s just a controlling asshole and should back off.
I’m sorry, but you don’t just let people lie to you and get away with it. Find the truth and never waiver from your convictions.
[–]TowerOfMG0 points1 point2 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly, she already lied, might as well get the whole truth!

If they have “girls night” and club on a regular basis it’s guaranteed that they are cheating. I once dated a chick like that.

Cheated on him, blamed him, and wrekt the marriage. You know the guy is going through hell emotionally. I hope he goes his own way. I invited him to MGTOW.
[–]TheDevilsAdvokaat6 points7 points8 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Good for you. Hope he takes you up on it. This guy really needs to stop sleeping and dreaming and wake up.

What did he say?
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points (1 child) | Copy Link
No reply so far. It's possible he just blocked me. Who knows.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah or he can't handle the truth and knows that about himself. Allot of people still believe in the Disney fantasy.

Every time you read these stories, the man is such a pathetic loser that it is almost difficult to feel bad for him.

Marriage requires so much work and effort from men while women literally do everything in their power to destroy it.
Why any man would be stupid enough to get married now is beyond me.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Its always the same excuse for unfaithfulness. "He's not giving me enough attention."

Getting a divorce, she will be the lonely cat lady in no time. Lots P&D then WATGM gone? She will try to come back, almost a guarantee, once she cannot get a guy to commit after she had her share of "fun".

And now....back to the normal MGTOW programming.

The OP is what happens when you give up your balls for feminism
