Was sitting alone at a bar on the way to my house having a few drinks unsure of what to do, I bumped into my ex girlfriend whom I loved very much earlier and became quite overwhelmed with emotion and I just walked into the next bar I came across, it was quiet, almost empty inside because it was quite early for a drink and as I ordered mine the fellow at the bar asked if everything was alright because I was visibly distressed so I told him that I'd just run into my ex, the woman I was about to marry and start a family with and it really unsettled me.

"I'm not greedy, all I have ever wanted in life was a good wife and a couple of kids, is a little bit of love too much too ask for? I still don't know why she had to ruin everyth..." I rambled as he interrupted and asked me if I was married or had children and laughed when I said no as if to rub salt over my wounds.

"You're fine, relax" he said to me. "I was actually worried a little when you came in, thought you were one of the dirvoced drunks who walk in here everyday who aren't allowed to see their kids, good men who work hard and live miserable lives so a bunch of ungrateful cunts and their offspring can satisfy their whims and fancies, you got off easy."

It sounded a bit negative and cynical but it resonated, he pulled his phone out and showed me this page and all the darkly funny memes and here I am two days later with my own account on reddit making my first post as a man going his own way

Thanks for introducing me to both reddit and mgtow, you know who you are.

Edit - thanks everyone for the warm welcome and damn, I did not realise there was a "sidebar". There's information on there for days.
