What should I do about my dad? My(18) dad(50) has been married to my mom(46) for 29 years. They are both devout Christians. Only woman he has ever been with. They were high school sweethearts. He is a classic tradcon. Christian. He is a really, really good guy. Fun to joke around/riff with. He’ll understand you. He and my mom have had their problems but this one is probably ending in divorce soon. My mom already has plans to move out.
My mom has still retained some SMV. She is a very good looking women and well past the wall but she still has that pretty face of a woman and not overweight. My dad is balding and his SMV has gone way down since he was younger. He used to be really good looking and all but now with no hair, he doesn’t have much going for him. He isn’t bad looking but he isn’t amazingly good looking either.
So about a year ago they started becoming more distant and they just weren’t the happy couple anymore. They would argue sometimes but never get too heated. Then come summer 2018 they are fighting at like 2 am yelling at each other. And these past few months they haven’t been fighting at all. This is because my mom is almost never home until late at night anymore. She is always out “studying” or “working”. It is also because my dad doesn’t want to mess things up any worse. He is in a fearful state and my mom probably doesn’t see the point in arguing because she is going to leave him anyway.
Anyway. A few weeks ago they both come home after a night out and come into my room for a “chat.” And my dad is on the verge of crying. He can’t even get his words out. My mom is also crying. I had to get it out of them because they couldn’t even bring themselves to tell me. And it’s that my mom is probably moving out. She has been taking college classes to finish her 4 year degree again in hopes of getting a job to auppprt herself. I was pissed off telling them that my whole life they have preached to me that marriage is forever and it’s sacred bond between a man and a woman. Then my mom says that she doesn’t believe in the “better or for worse” thing. That she believes that god doesn’t really mean that. (Are you fucking kidding me) I really have no problem my mom divorcing my dad As long as my mom doesn’t go after my dads assets and finances then I don’t have a problem with her divorcing my dad.
The problem is my dad. He is beaten up. Every time I talk to him about it he says he will do everything he can to not get a divorce. That he doesn’t want holiday events to be two different parties later on when me and my siblings have kids. He is constantly bummed out. He tells me that he loves her beyond words and blah blah. I don’t want to tell him that he’s being a bitch. Even though he is. I wish he would just get back into to dating other women. I’ve informed him about the red pill. I sent him some of my favorite forums and even the Mgtow website. He says he’s read some of it but wasn’t enthusiastic about it.
It’s just such a downer to see him like this. Of course I care about him a lot and I don’t want to be harsh about it. It just really fucking pisses me off even more that women get away with this type of shit.
My question is: Should I tell him he is being a bitch and needs to pick himself up? (Hard to fucking say to someone who is supposed to say that to you) Should I just not say anything? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
