Holy shit what a coincidence. 2 days ago, my brother called me on the phone. He is going to divorce his wife of 10 years. They have 2 great kids but he can't take it anymore. She doesn't clean the house, it's a mess. She fights with him about absolutely everything. She withholds sex from him (3 times a year). He works at a hospital 6 days a week at 12 hour shifts and comes home to a filthy house. He drinks himself stupid to escape from the stress she brings upon him. I am both happy and sad for him. It's always a shame when the nuclear family is broken. I too am divorced and I know how liberated he feels now to make the decision to end an abusive and controlling relationship.

Have you ever thought it could be you? or it's him?

Lots of guys these days are pussies. Guys are not tough anymore. Just a bunch of pussies that don't know what they want in life. They're happy just doing their 9 - 5, then slack off afterwards.

Speaking for myself, anyone looking from the outside would have thought I had everything under control. I was a 250lb bodybuilder and my sociopath of an ex-wife was a bikini competitor. She controlled everything about me behind closed doors. I was too young to know any better. She emasculated me at every turn and I just thought "this is normal." But it wasn't normal. All the signs of a bad relationship were there but I didn't see them. Chalk it up to immaturity and ignorance. I don't regret the relationship even though she absolutely left a wake of destruction in her path including throwing me in jail for a night and dragging me through court for something I didn't do. That's how vindictive and insane this woman was. She taught me more about myself than anyone ever has. I found my courage and regained my masculinity. I knew exactly what I wanted in a wife and I found her. I've been happily married for over 5 years now and we have never once argued. Common ground and compatibility is key. You are correct, I was partly to blame for my past relationship.

As long as she doesn't weaponize the kids against him, and he can have a meaningful relationship with them on an amicable basis, he will be fine.

If not, well welcome to Crazy Town. <
