Take note of the writer's choice of words. "She went through a divorce". Is this what they call passive language? It's like the divorce is something that happened TO the woman, not something she herself actively and knowingly caused to happen.

"God I hate American parents, you're such shit! You're such worthless pieces of shit!" Sums all of this up. I grew up in a divorced family and fortunately beat the odds, but to this day I don't have the best relationship with my mom. We rarely talk, I see her every couple months, she's spent her whole life telling me not to take calculated risks with investments and my career, and she makes my stepdad miserable to this day after being re-married for 30 years. She divorced my dad because he had a medical condition and she couldn't deal with it. Most women just don't want to deal with your struggles, as we know listening to Cappy, Rich Cooper, etc. My dad was always trying to be there for me as best he could, and although my mom had full custody of me other than a couple weeks a year that I saw my dad in Illinois (I'm in wisconsin), my relationship with my dad was always much tighter than with my mom, and still is to this day. My dad worked his ass off and did the best he could to help me from a distance after the divorce. I will always respect and love him for that. I also decided that when I grew up I would never be in this position. I decided I was going to look at a woman's parents and family history before I ever considered her for a serious relationship. My dad could have saved himself a ton of trouble if he had seen the warning signs from my mom's parents back in the early 80s. 20 years ago I got to my very traditional wife who had not been run through by a bunch of guys because she was still 19, no college or party life, and was just working a job at the time. My wife has always been at home (no career, no college) with our kids as it was a conscious decision we made 16 years ago. For the last 8 years I have been working as a remote 1099 as well which has allowed me to be around. When my son in 6th grade has to write a paper and list out "Who is my support?" he writes "my dad". I'm 39 now and came from a divorced set of parents - my wife's parents on the other hand never divorced and were quite happy until my FIL died young at 62. My wife's dad worked his ass off in the 90s tech boom and made the smart choice to pay off the mortgage when he was 40, always bought brand new Toyotas in cash and drove them into the ground, and her mom was always a SAHM with the 4 kids. Prior to the tech boom in the 90s, my wife's parents required the food pantry at certain times to get by - her dad was ex-military with a great work ethic but software consulting was different in the 80s and early 90s - more frequent spells of on/off in terms of having contracts, and more travel required. They were not wealthy people and came from farmers in the smalltown area of Platteville, WI. They always focused on their marriage and the kids and so despite financial struggles, they were happy together and as we already know eventually they had a paid-off house which we still keep in the family today. Seeing parents together and working through things is so important, and lacking in today's society. All 3 of my wife's siblings are very conservative financially and do not carry any debt other than their mortgages which are not crazy, and they have been maxing retirement since early 20s as best they could based on income. We are products of the family environment we grow up in. My wife and her siblings watched their family struggle BUT they knew that because the house was paid for, cars were paid for, no lavish lifestyle - that was the reason that they all were able to still get by as a family. So when you grow up, that memory sticks. You know how important it is to work a decent job, support each other and the family, etc. So it should come as no surprise these 3 kids to this single mom in the video are most likely going to be garbage. I am fortunate that my wife grew up in the environment she did and values family so much. She has genuinely helped me to recognize over time the value of family because as someone who grew up with divorced parents, I am now able to recognize how that set me back in terms of my personal growth. It's not always easy to be married or be a parent but that is with most things in life. Kids are work, marriages are work. I'm always shocked at how no one recognizes that they are willing to put in effort to manage relationships in a workplace environment outside the home, but are unwilling to acknowledge that people at home are still people as well and requires effort to manage those relationships. Unwilling to put in the time and effort to work which is the general theme - people just don't want to work. Lazy worthless sacks of shit.

[@jwardTLS]

@@scotttracy9333 you are correct. All of my friends spent way too much and most got divorced long ago. I spent 3k on our wedding including the rings. We had the reception at the church gymnasium for $40/hr, family made all the food, cake, invitations, and did all the photography. I hired no one externally and everyone had the best time (shocker).

Most Women never think of the divorce impact. They figure it’s always going to get better. Sometimes in the short term it might. After Covid though, guys need something besides going to jail as an incentive to being a wage slave to the other person. It becomes a balancing act of being John Galt.

[@joerapo]

It's because the attention they get on social media and the normalization of casual sex. They get a false impression of their sexual market value. They fail to realize those things don't equal being wanted for relationships with the types of men they desire. All of a sudden the 40 year old divorcee realizes she f*cked up when she's nothing but a fling for the men she wants and is surrounded by beta simps.

[@Evil-Rod-Farva]

It’s their main foible and why historically men have been leaders. They cannot think beyond themselves and beyond a limited window of time.

Yep, eventually I'm guessing within the next 15 years, they're going to make jail on a lot more comfortable because they're stupid, and make paying alimony and child support a lot more annoying to the point where people will just choose jail, or they will be crossing the border the other way

It wouldn't come bouncing back til the next month when the bill was due again , and that would give you four more weeks to figure out how to pay it. Of course on top of that you'd have a bank fee for kiting a check, but in those days it was only 4 dollars. Also, if having one job makes you strong and independent, doesn't having two jobs make you twice as strong and independent? So why don't more women have two jobs?

Women on average spend more money than men in terms of consumer goods. They don't save as much as men. Women also take on more college than men, even though they cannot afford it. Imagine owing $200000 and then having to pay these payments on top of other monthly expenses. Women nowadays initiate divorce more than men and have children out of wedlock, which means they literally extort men for child support that doesn't provide as much as a man would since men work more on average than women. And what do women spend that money on besides food...Gucci bags, makeup, and of course shoes. Wonder why millennial women are poor. The same as many men when they make poor choices.

This is why I have been telling my kids since they were like... 12 years old. Do NOT jump in bed with anyone who you are not married to. Do NOT marry anyone who is not a hard-core Christian with whom you have a shared value system. Do NOT marry anyone who has ANY red flags. Do NOT marry anyone who you are not 100% sure you can spend the rest of your life. Because... You DANG well better not get divorced. Because your mother and I are going to be up north at the cottage 4 out of 7 days by the time you have your full brood of kids and so we won't BE here to be your "free babysitter". So do NOT ever think to yourself you can get a divorce because "family will help out". Because we both know that "family help out" is code for "free babysitter". The numbers cannot pencil out.

What she should do is make it up to the father. Shouldn't had cut him out.

@@tristanbackup2536 why would you think that that man would take her back? In fact…it gets worse. If she DID try to reconnect with him…and you yourself knew him…and he asked you if you thought he should get back with her… …what would you advise him to do? Take her back? Or reject her?
