Are you retarded?

Also that man's life has only "gotten more miserable" because he is a feminist and lives in a matriarchal marriage. God set up marriage to be patriarchal. The woman is to do the housework and change the nappies. Probably he doesn't have the balls to put his woman in her place so he has to wake up at 3am to change the nappies and breastfeed even though it's her job. So he's "miserable". Go figure.

I am happily married to a loving wife, just had our first kid and we plan on having as many as God gives us (we're shooting for 12 and have sex constantly). We live in the woods, haven't watched a TV in months, and read all the time.

The key was breaking off contact with my abusive family. My parents were abusive, and then I lived with other relatives, who were neglectful. I brought these things up to them in my early twenties, and they gaslighted me about it, refused to apologize, told me they "did the best they could" (an obvious lie) and that they loved me (after proving the opposite many, many times). Luckily I had talked to my brothers about it beforehand and they backed me up (not in the conversation, they weren't there, but they confirmed to me that all of those terrible things did in fact happen). The rest of my family instantly wanted nothing to do with me. They were furious at me for even bringing it up. I told them I didn't want to hear from them unless it was an apology.

Before that I had a crippling porn addiction, had never been on a date, was 300 lbs, etc. After that I kicked the porn addiction (haven't viewed any in years) lost the weight (turns out I look good under the fat, who knew?), and within a few years I found my wife. I also finally got a good job, bought a house, etc.

My family wasn't invited to my wedding, other than my siblings. They have never met my son. Neither of these things were enough for them to try to change or rectify things in any way. They will never change.

You can never have a successful family while being underneath the influence of an abusive one. Your close relationships can only be as good as your worst one. (To be clear, talking about close relationships, not work colleagues or something).

If you want a family, the most important question is always "Is this good for my future children?" Should you date the art hoe? Well, would she be a good mom for your children? Should you keep your parents around? Well, would they be a good influence on your children? And so on.

If you aren't evil, and your parents are, it will fall part eventually anyway, or they will drag you down to their level. I see it all the time. Someone abused their kids, those kids have kids of their own, they treat them WAY better , and have to confront the fact that their parents COULD have actually parented them, and chose not to. Unfortunately, many would rather start abusing their own kids than face this fact, and so the cycle continues.

Do you want a relationship that lasts? Stand up to evil, even if it turns out you're surrounded by evil people. I can assure you that if I hadn't done that, I would still be a fat lonely coomer.

Let them never permit their daughters to don immodest garb.

They are not. They are the values of the BIPOC who make up the non-Western portions of the Catholic Church, much like the Hasidim and the Afghans.

Vice is emperor and autocrat of all the nations of the developed world. I am not going to repeat myself further. Your personally held ideological beliefs have zero social weight or pressure and cannot even begin to mitigate the incentives your wife has to jump ship from your micro-taliban household, because that's all it is, you citing dead theologians to someone with a pornphone in her pocket. Catholics are not encouraged to live like Hasids, Afghans, Amish, etc. They are encouraged to vote for Joe Biden

>> No.23301320

>>23301224
I have a suspicion you’re just a feminist. You keep bringing up the Tabliban as if they’re the only example of a patriarchal society. As I showed you with numerous quotes, patriarchy in the household and in society is a traditional Catholic European value, not a uniquely Afghan one. It can be justified from reason, from science, from intuition, from Scripture, from Tradition, and from the consensus of authorities such as the theologians and Popes.

You keep trying to scare me that my wife will run away. This presupposes that patriarchy is bad for women, and something they would want to escape from. Once again this shows you’re a feminist. Christian patriarchy affords a dignified position to the woman, and does not reduce her to the level of a slave or animal. There is no greater love among human beings than that found in matrimony and the family.

Yes, it is bad that feminist laws have made the security of marriage questionable in the modern day. I do not believe divorce, premarital sex, and the like ought to be legal. However, that will not discourage me from marrying. I trust that God has the power to imbue strength, grace, and understanding within the human heart — be it male or female — that allows it to triumph over vice.

I really don’t care about what’s been gone for generations. I am a traditionalist and am thoroughly resolved to renounce all modern ideas. I’m interested in the objective Good, which is eternal and comes from the Creator. I have spoken to my wife-to-be and have laid out my expectations and she has agreed with me in full. She knows I am a man of honour and not a petty tyrant. She knows I will do all that is in my power to secure a decent income and allow her to be a stay at home mother. We have no friends outside of each other. We are both virgins. In the event that my marriage fails and she leaves me, I will resignedly say: God’s will be done. Though I would wish for the abolition of feminist laws and culture, I firmly believe in the power of marital devotion. And even if Love fades, Duty will remain. All a man can do is submit himself to the will of God and try to live an upright life. Whatever evils I must suffer will be synthesised eventually into a greater good, the greater harmony that will be made clear when we gaze directly upon the divine essence, comprehending His world-historical symphony, seeing our lives as a minuscule part of it, weeping at the absolute beauty of the resolution of all things, the purity and rightness of it all in retrospect. Then the reason for all my afflictions will be made clear to me. But for now I can only stick to what has been given to me, by reason, by revelation, by tradition, by moral intuition.

I give no quarter to Feminism.

Whatever illusory benefits women have accrued in terms of "rights" and "wealth" cannot be compared with the suffering of men, children, families, and even women themselves.

It is beyond time to rip the facade off this lie that it's about women's "liberation" and show this cosmic human tragedy for what it is: juvenile revolt and civilizational brinksmanship.

Because one sex seems prepared to abandon the civilizational project entirely for its own self-interest.

and even then, you do know that the actual irl fascists were pretty on board with women having a role in modern society outside of the home right? (Even the Romans thought this; the Greeks only locked their women up because they believed that they were all whores and unable to control themselves otherwise).

you people only believe this ever existed because you have consumed stories through media more than talking with actual people. Marriage exists with the sole purpose of raising children and then being taken care of by them once you are old. It forces man and woman together into a sacrifice of their individual needs and freedom in function of their children, and being "happy" in a marriage was never a priority - this only exists in (bad) fiction. But if instead of consooming (bad) fiction all the time you actually spoke to your parents, your grandparents, your aunts and uncles and their friends, you will find very few of them who where happy with their relationships - and so on if you go up to previous generations. It's shit and it's supposed to be shit (for you: for society is maybe in the long term good if you keep producing other humans).
If you look at history as a long wave, the fact that a species that has only existed for about 300.000 years is now re-thinking the way its familial relationships are to be lived or thought (in the last, I'd say 3/4000 years we have done this) could be seen as a sign that we are actually meant to build different kinds of familial relationships than that of most animals (we already do). The average life span of a species is 4.000.000 years so there's plenty of time for improvement for humans. But it's really stupid to think that fiction invented in the last centuries speaking about being married with children would accurately describe how your species should behave. We have barely begun questioning what it means for us to be happy. It requires time: take your life as an experimental attempt to find that out and try to invent your own way to have happy relationship, which is what you should do as an individual member of your species, rather than attaching yourself to models whose efficacy is all but proven.
