I want to be a savage and call him a beta male cuck but looks like he's going to suffer enough in the long run. The comments are cringy as well, a bunch of people(probably women) telling him he needs to stay with them.

[–]MattFoley79[S] 12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, he needs solid advice. Not to get kicked while he's down. I was in a somewhat similar situation about 10 years ago. Hindsight is always 20/20.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I PMed the guy, hes probably not gonna listen though.

[–]HWGA_Gallifrey1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Assuming anything on that shit cuck subreddit is real.

[–]lgreaper66615 points16 points17 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Fixed

Do not be any kind of dad, you're just wasting your time and energy at that point!

[–]Chakra_Devourer9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Damn! Another guy nominated for cuck of the year! Good thing he's beginning to wake up. To this bitch he'd make a fine baby-sitter to her kids so she can go out and fuck her new boyfriend. Also since things are good with him, if things don't work out with the new boyfriend she can always monkey-branch back to him.

He needs to GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE! She had 3 kids! THREE KIDS! Fucking simp for used pussy. SO STUPID! He ain't gettin' no used pussy either. He's just being used now.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

This is a tough one. Some men love raising kids. In fact I don't give a shit about the women at all...if we had robots that could watch kids while working it would solve all my problems...I'd adopt a couple. Fuck female nature, but kids would be nice. I have a lot to teach.

[–]tank1911450 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

What do you want to teach these kids.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

How to take responsibility for one's actions. How to toughen up while accepting the situation as it is and the fact contrary to what the left says, you can't always get what you want, all the time, on demand. Teach them to delay gratification and set goals. Build their willpower muscle so they can better handle life less impulsively. I know a bit much for a bunch of 4-5 year olds but that's the age when you get good patterns of behavior taught.

Teach all this while still being playful and fun about it of course, so that they respond to the lessons. I find most boys especially, crave a masculine figure, and will be drawn to you when you are a good blend of strict and fun.

In case people here haven't noticed, most women (and many men) act like a bunch of spoiled brats, because they act emotionally and on impulse, and were taught this is the normal way to behave. They want what they want, and they want it now, and won't settle for less. People call this freedom and "finding oneself" whereas I call it being a slave to one's monkey mind and it's associated emotional outbursts. A person will never be truly effective in life if they are a slave to their feelings. I still have a ways to go to build my own self mastery.

[–]z31fanatic5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I seriously don't understand how he still wants to be their dad.

There are things in life where you should just say stop and flip the switch.

[–]scruffyshoulders2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

That's what I did. Made the mistake of getting engaged to a single mother, but she would not take my last name, signaling to me that she was not serious about the marriage (she had no career, so there was no excuse to keep her name), so never pulled the trigger. Eventually split cause she thought she would be better off getting pumped and dumped by Chads, while living off her father's dime. Well guess whose organs shut down three months after I left, yep, her father's, and guess who tried to come crawling back by using her children (that I spent 5 years raising) to try and guilt me.

Flipping a switch is honestly the only option. You just have to leave and forget. I will not be used just because I'm a caring person. Sucks for her kids, but I have no power to change that.

[–]Chakra_Devourer1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

She would continue to have fun with chads while living on her father's money. Imagine if her father is still alive and well Do you think she actually cares if you live or die? You're an afterthought. You did the right thing.

[–]MoonshineGuy8593 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

He is an unpaid baby sitter. She will stop it when it's no longer convenient or she gets another man who wants to play daddy.

[–]astuteglute4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The shit moms will try to get you to do and I'm a "Step Uncle" and always get asked. Pfft nah.

[–]Rottinghere2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's incredibly difficult for me to have any sympathy for him. I know he's hurting, but the cold hard fact is that he put himself in this situation.

Let his experience forever serve as an example to others!

[–]pwnzusauce1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

I have a voice in my head telling me that I am an idiot for handling the parental responsibility of children that are not mine while their mother goes out with some new random guy and spends her weekends pretending she doesn't have children.

Maximum Cuck.

He gets rejected by the used goods he married with but still wants to take care of Chad's leftovers.

Used goods just monkeybranched, as usual.

I wouldn't be surprised if she slapped him with a lawsuit forcing him to pay childcare and alimony.

Edit: I sent him a pm, if you guys wanna tell him the truth go ahead.

Edit 2: Never mind, don't bother helping these people because they will report you for "harassment" just for telling them the truth. Let the simps be simps... they either learn or not.

[–]U-940 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Send the step kids to a Penn State football camp. They'll learn quick.
