Backstory :

Wife walked out 8 months ago after 15 years of marriage. 2 good kids. She was a SAHM spent the 15 years playing video games and buying shoes. OK with me (honestly) I figured it was a trade-off - I got laid regularly WTF do I care what she did with her time. So she got unhhhhhhaaaaapppppyyyy for 'reasons'. Not a new or original story.

Before she left we sat down and worked out a few basic finance things - I got to keep the house my son and I built and she hated - she got a boatload of cash. No alimony or child support as the kids would stay with whichever parent they wanted as long as they wanted.

I immediately filed for divorce. I spent the last 8 months plowing thru the legalities of divorce - last step is a 'conference' to turn in all your paperwork for the eighth fucking time - turns out everything the STBX and I agreed on is subject to summary execution at the judge's whim. Of course. So all the 'agreements' the STBX and I had are irrelevant basically. If the judge decides I owe child support I get to pay it or go to jail. if the judge decides I make too much money I get to send it to the STBX.

If I object, I get to go to jail.

So just like pre-nups, whatever you work out with your ex means nothing to the US legal system.

So I politely thanked the worker bee and walked out.

I wrote my ex and told her I was done with this. I don't really give a fuck about a divorce because I am not stupid enough to ever get married again.

I also happen to be lucky enough to have major skills - I can be completely broke this year and flush a year from now. Done it before many times. And like many men, happily a minimalist - all 'things' are replaceable.

So I guess my point is - even if you somehow manage to work out a way to un-fuck yourself as a man, a husband, a father - the current Gynocracy US govt still insists on fucking you in the ass anyways.

I own a Cat.

I built my house from scratch with my son.

I wrote the Ex and told her to get her own fucking divorce. I get any whiff of theft on her behalf - intentional or not - and I'm going to fire up that fucking Cat, tear this awesome place down to raw fucking gravel and hand the keys to the Cat to the neighbor.

Take me about 20 minutes I think.

I'm going my own fucking way.
