Women have no respect for men. Today, I got to the final straw, the moment of realization that women don't give a fuck about us men. I have one shelf. That's right, one shelf in a house which can legitimately be called mine. On it, I keep all my tools. Today I went to use one of my tools, only to discover that the power cable that goes with one of them, is missing. I asked where it was and as always, a flat-out refusal that she knew anything about what I was saying at all.

"I've not been in there. I don't know anything about where the power supply is. Maybe you put it elsewhere?" I knew I did not because I'm not allowed to 'clutter' the place up with anything of mine. I asked her if she had thrown it away. "Why would I do that?" was the response and then right in front of me, she took a bag of candles I bought for the house and put them in the trash. I knew I would end up saying things I would later regret so I just took off outside and stayed out until I could calm down.

Every relationship I have had, as well as my mother, and all the women in my family have behaved thus. They believe that a man's property is an extension of their own. There is only one argument and one argument alone in this house and it's always the same one. "Where is my stuff? Why have you moved it?" I wouldn't dream of going through her things because they are not my things. She immediately said "I'm happy to buy you another power supply. " I told her I don't want another power supply, I want the one I had.

One shelf - why did I allow it to come to this? Every other guy I know in relationships suffers like this but why do we let it happen? Where's the compromise? There is none. There's no 50/50 straight down the middle. It's 100/0 and it always has been. I grew up largely around women and every one of them is selfish, narcissistic and grasping.

I'm done. I have tried to ignore all the red flags, all the warning signs but I have had enough. All a woman can offer me is the fact she looks nice when she's made up and that's a fucking facade. She certainly isn't going to offer kindness, empathy, warmth, trust, respect of my property, compassion. Us men are brought up with the Disneyfication of women. We are taught that women are soft and nurturing while men are all brutish thugs when nothing could be further from the truth. Women don't respect us at all. We are just there to be used and abused and I'm sick of it. I'm getting out, not just of this place but off the whole crazy fucking merry-go-round that is called a life with women. I don't care if I end up living in one room. At least I'll know where everything is and nothing can be moved or 'lost.'

I just want some fucking peace. Is that too much to ask?
