I'm a little new to mgtow and recently I've grown doubtful of the future of my marriage. We've been together for 3 years and she was, for the first two years, a model girlfriend and a stellar wife. I'm serious, guys. Sex? Every damn day. Cooking? Every damn day. Cleaning? She did everything but the dishes . Basically a qt3.14 /trad/ wife who just fell into my lap and was happy to serve me as a loving wife.
When I first heard about mgtow, I was fresh into my relationship with her. The ideas made sense, but I thought these were all societal problems caused by a lack of traditional Christian virtues. Traditional Christian virtues that she was raised with. So my relationship shoild be immune right? Lol.
More recently, she's been reading and sharing stuff from Now This and the ilk. Her college profs. have been spewing their female oppression shit and she's been bringing it all into the home. I've tried to reason and argue respectfully about the standard: the gender wage gap, rape culture, and even slut shaming. It really came to a head when she said "we need an Australian style gun buyback", which hit a nerve in me. That's an argument for another sub-reddit, but since she grew up in the middle of nowhere, PA, I didn't think that was something I had to argue with my own wife.
I once heard the saying, "women want to change their man, but he won't. Men want their woman to stay the same, but she won't."
I'm just frustrated that my wife has changed her values and opinions so drastically and seemingly overnight. If she continues down this path, I don't want to have children with her. Thank God that hasn't happened yet.

Eh. I see no reason not to try talking to her and explaining the problem. He might piss her off? Good. Then he has an excuse to get out sooner. Or maybe, just maybe, she’s receptive and it goes well and makes a positive change. It’s a win-win situation.
