'09. The month before we stopped talking (again). Ever since that happened, most of my stress dropped through the floor. I was no longer held responsible for everything that happened or didn't happen in her life. Other stresses ahve been added though.<br /><br />Our son was just turning 16. We couldn't selll the house until May '10. So we were a household until a month before he graduated high school. He had some definate problems in school while we were still in the house. We were both concerned about raising him so the divorce process was not too bad (Except I worried about her getting angry and acquiecsed on more stuff than I wanted too.)<br /><br />When they moved to her new condo she would get him to call me up and tell me what she needed to be done. I did nothing and finally told him she fired me from that job. <br /><br />He's in college and I am moving from the northeast to Nebraska. I have stayed on friendly terms with her to see my son as often as possible. Now I won't have to do anything at all for her. It isn't all bad. The 2 days before I go I will stay at her condo (and let some contractors in). Then first stop, some family in Ohio.Legionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-1793016408080798312011-09-23T17:01:10.853-07:002011-09-23T17:01:10.853-07:00"But I shall NEVER decline the icing on the c..."But I shall NEVER decline the icing on the cake that is the schadenfruede of watching the people who made me and an entinre generation of men suffer and flail about get theirs in the end."<br /><br />So true!

Many women dig in with their checklists and open for business, only to find that they have no customers. One would think that a complete product overhaul might be required, or at least a distinctively new approach to marketing. Yet they sit there behind the counter, watching the world go by, complaining that customers don't want the right things.Susan Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984275712518966508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-82075295408640466212011-09-20T11:52:10.383-07:002011-09-20T11:52:10.383-07:00Bobby,
Your observations are correct. Do you get...Bobby,<br /><br />Your observations are correct. Do you get over watching people get their comeuppance and move on with life and pursue your own "senior" pursuits?<br /><br />Yes and no.<br /><br />I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing essentially an entire generation of women who were mean, arrogant, but above all else, dishonest about what they wanted (which led myself and about 70 million other men to waste an unrecouperable amount of our youth) slowly wake up and realize they're 40, burdened with children and get to suffer their own decisions. Also, because of their disproportionate voting for socialism and the expansion of the state at the expense of (primarily) men (both financially and in a replacement role), I won't get tired seeing liberal women in their 40's be miserable, lonely and quite frankly, clueless as to why the economy isn't booming and their 401k plan isn't full and still not understand why they're not happy.<br /><br />Of course, it can go too far. You don't want other people's misery to be your sole source of happiness. You don't want it even being your primary source of happiness. Going out and enjoying the decline or "MGTOW" or "going ghost" or whatever you want to call it, is nothing more than having total and pure freedom and doing what you want on this planet before you die. That should be the primary source of happiness.<br /><br />But I shall NEVER decline the icing on the cake that is the schadenfruede of watching the people who made me and an entinre generation of men suffer and flail about get theirs in the end. It's just too entertaining to read Dalrock and Roissy and Leykis and I really believe it is every traditional American male's right to not just be entitled to it, but to be able to enjoy it guilt free.Captain Capitalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620212946121617985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-37125321728846233932011-09-20T09:30:23.943-07:002011-09-20T09:30:23.943-07:00I read alot in the manosphere, and it seems like t...I read alot in the manosphere, and it seems like there is a need for a more mature man´s perspective. Often the mood seems to be pervaded by a younger mans brooding, excessive pessimism. I don´t know if I am that mature perspective, but I am personally getting hints to my future already and have clues from being around and observing older men.<br /><br />In just this last week, a truely amazing transformation has happened to me. Up until this point( early forties), I have always seen myself living accompanied by a woman.<br /><br />Some woman out there was going to make life better for me. Now, it has been many years since I was naive enough to believe just any damn hussy could improve things; so little by little, I have become more and more discriminating.<br /><br />But, what hit me like a 2x4 between the eyes this past week is the realization that it is so unlikely that any woman will be a net gain over enjoying the independent life ;and I have to plan very selfishly for my future. And you know what? It was in no way, absolutely no way, a sad moment when I reached the tipping point. It felt so GD LIBERATING.<br /><br />Now, I may not be completely through with women. I thought to myself, hmmm, if some woman sounded pleasing enough: I could date her, if it sounded like a good time.<br /><br />But, in no way do I want her interfering in my personal sanctuary.<br /><br />I know that alot of you read Dalrock, and I do too. Dalrock has wrote alot about elder divorce. It is interesting what he writes, but I don´t think Dalrock has a senior perspective yet; too much worrying about the betrayal of the men by these women( you can feel the hurt, the perspective of a younger man in his writings). I have read these pieces and have wondered:<br /><br />How many of these senior men are happier to be freed from these old bitties? Freed, once and for all.<br /><br />I noticed a change about the time that I hit thirty but what I have experienced since passing forty has been very profound, I can only imagine the extreme changes that are to come in the future. It is a little worrisome but up until now I would say life is better and better.<br /><br />The funny thing is the woman who occasionally confronts you with the question of being alone in the future. At first, I took the question at face value and thought that maybe there could be some reason for concern. But for a good couple of years now, I have really thought about this concern of theirs as it has increasingly diminished as a concern of mine.<br /><br />It is projection on their part. <br /><br />You know, we have seen recent reports of how life just gets better and better for men and I am increasingly believing the reports.<br /><br />Captain,<br /><br />I understand your sentiment when you mention ¨Enjoy the decline¨<br /><br />but I am of the mind that I am going to enjoy the personal explosionBobbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-25276604447487597602011-09-20T08:23:14.992-07:002011-09-20T08:23:14.992-07:00Hey, yeah!

I feel so much better now that Im out of the scene. Clubs suck, they are filled with drunken sweaty people spilling beer.
