Got married near 2000. I was mid 30s she was 21. Cute girl. Red flags but they either have them or hide them well. I was always somewhat red pilled but I faltered. Of course, 16 years later she gets bored and her bisexuality morphs into lesbianism The bisexual years were very fun for me as you can imagine. She had cute 'friends'. Not to brag, but I make a very good amount of money. 16 years later she gets comfortable, bored and a pretty much full blown lesbian, not butch but still. So I caught her in many lies. "I'm going to help clean my brother's apartment". Even if that were true, it would piss me off because I pay for a maid at home...you know? So after about 6 months I convinced her to move out and live her new lifestyle. This was a good move on my part but didn't solve everything. I filed after she moved out. I get to keep the house because she's gone, however the appraisal has gone up the max 10% for the last 4 years, so I have to pay her half of that equity. The lawyers (not your friend) drag their feet so the divorce lasted a year and guess who's pretty much paying for both sides. And I was making very good money for that year but only 50% of it is 'mine'. I could not prove how much was in my 401k when we got married, so they assume fucking zero dollars. Fuck you Merrill Lynch record keeping. I started contributing to the 401k when I was 24 so my ex was making money when she was 9 years old, if you get my drift. Anyway, I am doing fine. Luckily business is very good, no kids (she couldn't) and I am able to recover quickly and thanks to MGTOW (life savers) I feel like part of the brotherhood (thank you). If I had a time machine, I would warn my young'ish self about the future. Even though the divorce was expensive, it was worth it. I have my own business now and never have been more free. Hopefully some of you younger guys can learn from my mistakes. Take care everyone, be safe and thank you MGTOW.
