My dad passed in one room while my mother was in another room drunk and angry that he wasn't dead already, as she had already manipulated the lawyer who drew up his will.

That the kind of "togetherness" you're hoping for?

DangZagnut · 2018-12-27T03:16:31+00:00

Take all that alimony and child support, save it up, and hire qualified nursing care if you want.

Or die with your boots on.

We all die alone. Even all those people in old age homes who see their children once a year, they all die alone too.

z3v · 2018-12-27T03:07:51+00:00

Everyone dies alone.

801735 · 2018-12-27T03:07:17+00:00

Unlike others, who will all die together? ]=) Yup, alone.

Mex_Heroin · 2018-12-27T03:32:01+00:00

No wife to divorce rape your retirement funds.

No children to put you in a nursing home and then spend your retirement funds.

You're dying from the moment you're conceived.

Life is fatal, nobody gets out of it alive.

Suck it up buttercup.

Hike your own hike.

marcopoloman · 2018-12-27T03:11:33+00:00

Who do you plan on taking with you?

flee_market · 2018-12-27T03:46:57+00:00

Everyone dies alone.

RooR_16 · 2018-12-27T03:18:00+00:00

When youre in your final stages before death nobody can help you anyway, so we are alone in that sense.

keltsbeard · 2018-12-27T03:56:05+00:00

I'll die, hopefully, doing what I want. Not surrounded by people who mere hours after I depart will begin to fight amongst each other about who gets what boat, who gets this, that and everything else.

I'll die in peace, knowing that nobody will complain about me not providing, even as I'm cold and in the ground.

Everything I have will go to my two nephews. They, and whatever dogs I have then, will be the only ones to care, or miss me. I am perfectly fine with that.

CiceroVoltaire · 2018-12-27T04:02:08+00:00

That's my plan, I hope to die alone, on my own terms, not a burden to my kid. Ideally I'll die on my ocean going sailboat, they'll find adrift with my remains, preferably from natural causes, though I'll be sure to save one round just in case. anything I don't need on the boat of value will be in storage that he can access, given to my kid or in a trust for him. I'll have the boat and whatever else I need to live aboard, coming ashore for repairs, supplies and to see my kid.

far better than rotting away in a nursing home, squander your life savings for the care, alone, in pain, likely abused or ignored by the staff and covered in bedsores, dying a slow, painful death. Fuck that.

DWS33_ · 2018-12-27T04:20:49+00:00

We all die alone. Do your own thing. Surrogacy is always an option.

SomeGhostingGuy · 2018-12-27T05:34:46+00:00

From what I have seen:

The only sure way to have people around when you are going to die .... is to have tons of money they want to get their hands on.

Combatmedic2-47 · 2018-12-27T04:10:37+00:00

We all die alone, both my grandfathers passed in a hospital bed. My great uncle claims he already died in Vietnam he’s just waiting for his turn to stop pretending to be alive. I’m not sure whether to be more sad or concerned for him.

DWShimoda · 2018-12-27T04:26:31+00:00

You're probably going to die alone regardless... most people do, married, kids or not.

shitfren · 2018-12-27T05:13:35+00:00

I dont get it. Woman aren't the only companion that you can have.

BadassGT-CS · 2018-12-27T05:38:45+00:00

What makes you think that a wife or kids will be there in your time of need? At least we aren't living under some illusion that we will be cared for.

Raey42 · 2018-12-27T08:41:07+00:00

You don't have to do a trigger warning, there are no feminists here.

daverambo30 · 2018-12-27T05:59:14+00:00

I'd like to think we are all adults here and don't need "trigger warnings". After all, this isn't pre-school or r/twoxchromosomes for cryin' out loud.

krisdang111 · 2018-12-27T06:50:43+00:00

Like other comments have said "We all die alone" and nobody really means to be with you at the last stage of your life. It's not their jobs. People who love you most like your parents, they will be long gone. Your wife, who may or may not leave you during the marriage (risky gambling)? Your kids (assume they aren't assholes), they may live close by or be in the other half of the world and could not be with you in time before you die? Too many things can happen in life, too many uncontrollable factors. The only thing you can control is yourself, your thinking. If you accept the truth that "We came to this world alone and we will depart alone", you will be fine when the time comes.

Living a MGTOW lifestyle, you should not worry about who will be with you during your time. It's about how fulfilling your life have been. How you make worth of it. Have you been good to the people that you care about? Did you make yourself happy? In case you have kids, have you gave them the best you can? Those experiences will replay in your head before you die. If you live your life with no regret, You'll be at peace and ready even if you have to die alone.

In my case, I'm divorced, so the wife is out of the equation (I don't plan to be in a relationship). I have two daughters who I love dearly. I have a brother and a sister who always good to me. My dad and mom are very old. These people are very important to me and I set my goal to give them my best. So that when I look back at the last moment of my life, I will feel no regret.

Complete all your to-do and wanna-do lists. Live your life to the point that you can proudly say to yourself "I've lived a good life and I'm ready to go". Then there should be nothing to fear.

Good luck.

FunkyCannaHigh · 2018-12-27T14:49:03+00:00

Old age should not be looked at as scary. Even if you get married chances are you will wind up in a senior living facility. Your wife will probably still be healthier than you and your kids won't see you every day. So, you will be alone in a retirement home... screw that.

Live life, you are not even guaranteed to live until old age. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow, get ALS in your thirties, get bladder cancer in your 50's, etc.

When your young you never think of this especially if you have a healthy family. Then, all of the sudden, friends and family start getting these diseases.

As far as children continuing MGTOW: who cares? You are dead, you have no kids, it does not matter.

Go smoke a bowl, eat a greasy cheese burger and enjoy life.
