I’m done with them. I’m not some MGTOW guy, but after having a child in February of last year with a woman I had been with for six years, with whom I made lifelong plans with and were happy about our future, decided that she would rather be able to go to concerts with her friends and drink wine at night and not have to be an adult.
Guess who’s the one that had to move out of the house that they pay 100% of the bills for? Hint, it wasn’t her. Guess who gets custody of the baby by default?
now I’m stuck hiring lawyers, trying to fight things in court and get custody and everything else. The vast majority of today’s women are feeble minded, products of Instagram and their television, and have no perspective on what it means to be a human being, let alone a man or a woman.
The saddest part is the child. Now he’s going to be growing up in a broken home. I’m willing to put every resource I have into getting a lawyer who’s going to help me fix this. I did nothing to this girl except for love and support her. I personally think postpartum depression had a lot to do with it
Your story is not uncommon. I've witnessed dozens of happy couples in long term relationships. Everything was fine until a baby came along. Then the women all go bat shit crazy and do exactly as you stated.
This is why you should always get married first. At least maybe they would’ve considered giving you partial custody of your kid. I’ve seen this happen a lot. People date for years thinking the marriage is just a piece of paper. Then when the lady goes crazy from PPD or stress or just realizes having a baby has more responsibility, and they can’t party all the time, ect, if they’re not married they’re way more likely to bail. Men too. I see women do this more than men, maybe if I had more lady friends I’d see it’s even but I think it’s worse with women. Every time I see my husband’s friends convinced they will be fine without marriage I warn them. They didn’t listen and every single one of them struggle seeing their kids. Didn’t matter how long they were together. Marriage doesn’t guarantee you’ll avoid this outcome but it seems to make it less likely. Among married people with kids I know it usually only ends in divorce in extreme circumstances. And the courts work with the dad at least a little even though they favor the mom. When you don’t get married first they don’t care about the dad at all.
