Yeah, she told me she did that when I had my stroke… I was a bit surprised, but she knows I pay close attention like clockwork twice a week, and have for a very long time. I appreciated her reaching out to say what I would have said if I weren’t unconscious.

I just wish that there were some way I could help other men be similarly rewarded, but any advice I could offer would be hollow, shallow, and ultimately pointless, like telling men to look for a four-leaf clover on a mountain. The only advice I could offer would be to seek out that four-leaf clover, and what to look for… and to be honest, all men already do. I was only fortunate because of timing, as I was getting divorced at the same time she was from an abusive husband, and the timing clicked.

The only true advice I can offer is don’t marry a stupid, selfish woman, and that is utterly obvious, and find a way that you can spend a lot of valuable time together (In this case, we were both superhero RPG gamers and clicked over a character death, and still regularly entertain each other by running games for each other in preference to many other leisure activities). But that is not advice that can be replicated.

I wish I had more useful advice than ‘don’t marry a stupid bitch’ but… that’s it.

I was saddened and worried by what I saw. She looked far older. Has put on weight. Didn’t seem focused. I reckoned she was on an antidepressant. Those make you unfocused and gain weight. Did for me, so I assumed that was what the deal was.

Last weekend I was visiting my daughter and asked how her mom was, because when we met I left sad (for her) and worried.

I like those manosphere videos. Some of the yentas that ditch their man and find out life is now harder are really funny. Who doesn’t like a good dose of schadenfreude. But what she told me was worse than any of those. She’s had a bad year. Stress at work, knee and wrist surgeries among other miseries. My daughter wants her to quit her stressful job.

She can’t. Neither can I, really. All her planning pre divorce was to work until her boss retired. She doesn’t want to work for the new owner. But now, she can’t.

For middle aged women, think about that. There’ll be no two retirement incomes with a paid off house. There isn’t anyone around to help you to the toilet when your knee has been repaired. No one to buy and cook food, clean the house, walk the dog. You have to now pay for that. Your job sucks? at that age, you need to think twice. You can’t say screw it and take a break while the husband covers expenses.

It’s a shame. Sad to see. I saw a funny clip on Taylor the Fiend where a woman said these women need to watch out. They may want to get rid of the husband, but rest assured he’s a dream man to other women out there. He’ll find one fast.

FWIW, I’m happy. I have a new woman, and new life. My expenses are such that I can work for a third the money and be just fine. After my Daughter gave me an update, her husband said “Wow, you really got the better end of that deal!”

Default father custody was also rooted in contract law. As this classic article states, “the contract of marriage is, in every sense, the contract of a woman selling children to a man.”

Mrs. Badger reached out to me a while back, expressing her gratitude and good wishes in relation to some of the stuff you got from my writing. She comes across as a lovely woman – warm, kind, and charming. My compliments to you both for doing exceptionally well in the marriage department.

This video will come in handy since I kicked off my divorce a few months ago. Won’t get into too much detail since it’s ongoing, but things had been going downhill for a while and I finally decided to do something about instead of accepting my fate. I’ll report back once it’s final.

Modern marriage IMHO is nothing but a trap for men. It’s like sticking your head into a guillotine and handing your wife the rope, since she can now call in the state to dispossess you of half of everything if you so much as look at her the wrong way, vs. NOT being married where she has no such power over you.

Mr. Badger looks to have found a keeper, but they’re vanishingly rare these days. As Aaron Clarey says, nearly all modern women want to get married and have children. Almost none have any interest in being wives or mothers.

Whenever it comes up in conversations with women, I always ask: 1) in the year 2025, what do I get from being married that I can’t get from being single, and 2) what problem does getting married solve for me?

Bonus points if you leave the USA/West and marry a barely legal woman, besides making out like a bandit (and living like a king) you will be able to troll feminists and conservacucks on any social media platform you fancy.

But my second marriage has lasted 30 years and will probably last 30 more. So I don’t buy into the MGTOW bullshit, and never have. What I do buy is that there is an entire generation of meek, weak, and terrified men that eat too much soy and are terrified of getting punched in the face.

Once you learn to enjoy fighting, even if you lose, the rest of your life gets a lot easier. Once you learn the difference between a real woman and a disposable whore, your life is a lot more rewarding.

There have always been disposable whores, and there always will be. The trick is to weather the storm and laugh at the wastes of skin.
