Brothers... 7 years ago I was a father of a new born son and “step father” to an almost 2 year old, living with an ex coworker I fell in love with, impregnated and made my gf
today I find my self with no kids (found out my son wasn’t mine when he was 8 months) celebrating my second promotion in less than 4 years and enjoying the almost 6am hour in peace.
I remember thinking I would never rest again and being ok with it because I was now a provider... I worked 30 overtime hours per pay period, 2 and a half hours away to provide for her so she could stay home with the two young kids (she was miserable btw)... now I primarily work from home and am low key a big deal.
The boys? They live with their dad now... my ex? Back at her moms house still in the room she grew up in, making excuses.
I don’t know if I’m MGTOW cause I very much love intimacy but I for sure got here with this mindstate:
“If they are paying you, work hard, work efficient and at the end of the day getting the job done is the right thing to do... BUT IN LIFE... don’t do anything you don’t want to do... don’t ever let anyone force you into something that is supposed to be “entertaining”... yes we all have responsibilities, but you owe no one anything... someone else can always handle it or go without”
Keep fighting the good fight fellas
