I live in Boston and I am not doing okay. I make 113k/yr but only take home 1k per week. This is my 2 week paycheck.

I am having to cash out like 3k in crypto per month to live. My mortgage and bills alone are ~3k per month. If the bull market doesnt take off im just gonna go MIA, cash out 20k and live on the appalachian trail for a year.

Fuck me

Incorrect. Female nature is inherently destructive. Our current system in the West encoourages devastation. The pattern of divorce and child abuse by women is too widespread to be limited to personality type. Its genetic. And the one thats created this system of misery are acutely aware of it.

All women are the same, which is ok if the socio-political framework is set up to control women. Misery is the currency of the West.

Yes, vetting is the process by which you judge the women you couple with. Assessing their personality, upbringing (did she have a strong father presence?) Etc etc. As time has gone on the vetting process has become more stringent due to the general decline in valuable women.

So whilst the pool of women is in a decline quality wise it's still up to you and possible to net a high value woman, although it's getting rarer by the day...

You'll never get a good answer or advice from someone who failed. If they could learn from their mistakes they could course correct. I've been with mine for 16 years now, married six of them.

The most significant thing I did was establish formal expectations before we went public, stating that we were "Boyfriend and girlfriend" (implied exclusivity). Formally established that I was free to touch her any time we were alone, we'd go to bed naked every night, and I was free to take her at any time in bed, even if I woke up early and she was still asleep. She wanted the same, but also that I would cook/take her out on Sundays, as well as both of us spending two hours cleaning house on Sundays instead of going to church. We had several years where we were defacto married and I enforced all the expectations that would have otherwise been deal breakers. People never set that level of commitment up during the dating phase, and they fall apart when there's socially implied and legally enforced commitments post-marriage. We hammered out all the expectations we had for each other well in advance of our wedding date.

Also, going on or off birth control will change their brains on a chemical level. Make an IUD happen early or suffer the consequences.

Highly recommend combined four hours of cleaning on Sundays. It's absolutely amazing how much you can get done if you carve that chunk of time out. You can fill that time even in an apartment.
The mental health benefits of sparkling surfaces, an organized pantry/fridge, and carpets that are shampooed monthly cannot be understated. That weekly reset to pristine condition also makes the day to day maintenance that much more rewarding, since you come out the other side living in a nicer, cleaner, less dusty place.

I married at 26, divorced at 36.

Literally 7 days after we got married, my (ex) wife started a new job, got stressed, then began to drink 4-10 shots of vodka every single evening, every day of the week. She never previously had any signs or symptoms of alcoholism. She spent the first 7 years of our marriage so drunk every night she was unable to hold a conversation. She would literally drink herself comatose and passed out in her own vomit. During our honeymoon we got in an argument about her drinking, she took her ring off, threw them out me, and yelled "fuck you, we're over."

She sobered up 7 years in. For the final 3 years of our marriage, she was just angry and bitter since she wasn't drunk. She developed a short fuse and temper. She would get so angry that she would scream (not yell) bloody murder at the top of her lungs. Every other day she'd belittle me, saying "you're boring, you're completely useless, you have no friends, you have no hobbies, no activities, something is deeply wrong with you, everyone thinks you're weird, you don't know how to dress, you're so strange, you hate having fun," and more. (I actually have a lot of friends and am very active in hobby communities, while she has literally zero friends. It was projection.) Several times she threatened to murder me and kill herself if I ever left her. I was unattracted to her and didn't want to have sex, but she kept being like "why won't you fuck me, what's wrong with you" and then mock me about that.

Glad to be free. THANK GOD we didn't have kids.

Thanks. Weird thing is, she's a specialist physician in good standing who works for a major hospital group. I'm a partner at a profitable medium-sized law firm. We were both high earners. We'd both literally be millionaires right now if we didn't divorce.

My advice is to know your own personal boundaries and ENFORCE THEM. Do NOT wait for things to get better. If your partner has an addiction or is abusive in any way (even emotionally), don't waste your life waiting for improvement. Don't believe them. Just leave. The rates of success for successful change of addiction and abusive behavior is low.

I lost a decade of my life to her (broken) promises that she'll seek treatment and get better. I will never forgive her, or myself for the lost time. It sucks that we both lost so much money, but at least I'm out of that situation. Now dating someone wonderful who genuinely loves me.

It takes longer than 7 years of hardcore alcoholism to get cirrhosis and jaundice. That said, she admitted after we separated that she probably won't stay sober forever and will likely have further relapses. She's not in AA and has never sought proper addiction treatment. We went to AA together like... five times, but no more. One time she drove to AA drunk and arrived totally wasted. After we left each session, she'd mock the attendees, saying "those people are a bunch of losers, I'm a specialist physician who went to a top med school, they're NOTHING like me." On two occassions, we had heartfelt discussions where she promised to go sober, and she went into the bathroom and got drunk literally 15 minutes later. Fifteen minutes. I'd say she had 40-60 failed quit attempts.

The truth is, she had no interest in being sober because she thinks she's better than everyone and "deserves a break" because she works a tough job. There is a very good probability that she'll get jaundiced at some point. Maybe THEN she'll reflect on her choices.

>>49518846
Not really. She was always overly moody and emotional, but nothing involving alcohol or emotional abuse. BTW, everyone should learn about the signs of abuse. EVERYONE.

Yes vetting plays a role, but all women are genetically predisposed to cheat. All of them. A man with better genes or resources will always be attractive to any woman, regardless of upbringing. This isnt something to hate or revile, its just a fact.

The problem is that the current system in the West encourages the absolute worst aspects of women.

My son was happy and healthy, then she decided i wasnt going to see him anymore, and now he has autism, is failing school and is behaving aggressively. I havent seen him for 6 years and i miss him deeply. I never wanted that life for him, im from a respectable home. Its devastated the entire family.

The maliciousness of women is not to be underestimated. I will never have another child, and the one child i have is deeply troubled. Im a broken man. Broken.

Doesn't even matter. People change as time goes on. Your high quality vetted woman can easily become a completely different person in 5-10 years. Friends, siblings, co-workers, etc can all steer them in polar opposite directions. And now you're legally tied to that person. They win no matter what happens and you lose no matter what happens. There's no way to vet someones future self 10 years down the line.

It's the name of the game. Play to win, virginal brides are something that are bought by your father, not something achieved on your own thrust.

Your purity spiral nonsense results in your genome being filtered. Enough people like you fail to adapt and it's all over.

Mostly right, but you can into issues if they get fat or decide they don't feel "sexy" anymore. They start to refuse, and then spiral deeper and deeper into self hatred. The flip side is that they feel highly confident in how they look and can't resist flexing it. They go on to commit an infidelity on you.

Hell of a tightrope.
