A World of Suck - When You Live to Serve a Woman

[churros]

Material like this is cropping up all over the place. Not quite as extreme, but here you can learn to banish daddy guilt.

1. Let go of guilt

Rather than feeling guilty about time you don’t spend with your children, think about how your career is benefiting your family. Perhaps you can afford certain toys or educational activities or you’re able to save money for their futures. You don’t have to spend every second of every day with your children to be a good dad. It’s actually okay to say, “Do you know what, I’m allowed to enjoy the time I spend away from my children. And that’s okay.”

Sounds like a fun life! Is this the experience of current forum users with kids?

2. Banish manic mornings

Banish manic mornings by getting yourself organised the night before. Pack the kids’ lunch boxes and lay out their clothes (plus your own and your wife’s) before you go to bed. “You should also get the breakfast things out, pack the nappy bag, rucksacks, manbag, or work bags to avoid last minute chaos,” suggests Paul Peach, the founder of Organised Dads UK. Knowing that a lot of the morning tasks are taken care of will allow you to spend time eating breakfast with the kids. Tactfully suggest to your wife that she could help by making her own sandwiches and ironing her own tops.

Make sure to get permission!

To their credit I see the comments are mostly "Stop writing fucking women's articles and then search/replacing 'mum' for 'dad'."

"Enjoying the time away from the kids" in the present day is often a symptom of someone who's a resentful shit when you're actually with them. Believe it or not, kids don't actually want you hanging around them hours on end - but when they do want to be around you, they want you not to be an irritated, uninterested arsehole -- as a lot of women and, like it or not, a fair number of men are because they see their lives as still revolving around themselves and the kids as second priority.

People aren't actually feeling guilty when they like their time away from the kids. Guilt is for those dwindling numbers of people in churches of outdated Flying Spaghetti Monster memes. Church is for people who believe in gods other than themselves. No, most narcissistic parents are much, much more afraid of being caught out by other people having a good time away from the kids. That's shame - not guilt. This is designed to play to the reader's narcissism, play to the idea that once you have kids your own identity can still come first.

While reading the story I was hoping for the guy, she would be "crazy hot" or at least ok looking.

This image should come to mind whenever you're about to do something stupid.

She looks like a fatter female Jeb! Bush

This reminds me of a buddy I saw a few months ago. We hadn't hung in a bit. He's got a corporate job where he doesn't have to go in much anymore, a 10 month old boy, and a wife at a major financial consulting firm.

We'd made plans to get dinner and see a movie, but an hour before meeting he phoned to say he couldn't go out. The wife had to work late, and so he had to watch the kid. So I went up to see him, hung out and bulshitted.
He lifts and is still in solid shape, but he's basically a prisoner to her job. His attitude was "gotta help out cause this is how it is." Like clearly under the impression that "being there" and putting up with this shit was the way to go.
I shared some of my ups and downs in the game, the craziness of online dating and SA, but really I just wanted to tell him that what happened to him tonight is fucked. That he shouldn't put up with that kind of shit. And that it's only going to get worse.
Is there even any real way to drop some Red Pill on someone trapped in a situation like that? Seems like at that point they're pretty much fucked.

He's an OK looking dude, why on earth has he chained himself to THAT!?
Not only that, why has he EMASCULATED himself for THAT?

The children look distressed.

In a time where victimhood is celebrated, is it possible that there is a genuine biological push towards having children with sub-par genetics, so as to reap the benefits of the current paradigm of shameless self deprecation?

That's the look of a man who has absolutely no options.

Tell your buddy eventually he can divorce this bitch and if she makes more than him, she'll be paying him alimony and because she's never around, he stands a decent chance of getting custody and some child support. At worst he'll get joint custody so she'll need to choose between her kids and her job if she wants to ever see her kids. He would then get some free time to go out and smash some strange with you. Dumb career bitches.

Someone get this man to the ER ASAP and get the largest set of pliers available to remove that rusty spiked butt plug shoved up his rectum.

What's with that chipmunk smile on the guy? It's completely unsurprising to see this guy with that smile, yet it would be incongruous if not disturbing to see it on a guy who was unquestionably alpha.

This thread and it's responses (particularly on page 1) were masterful and made me feel a combination of shame, heartbreak, and pure pity for this man. Did anyone have word if this couple is still alive?

My thought is that some beta men get some type of perverse thrill out of this type of 'relationship' possibly due to unresolved Oedipus complex.

Something along the lines of the same demographic of "men" who solicit dominatrices.

After Lindy West got married, not much surprises me anymore>

By the way, report everyone that repost that image!

Joking aside, the only people I have pity for in this stories are the two girls. I have two nieces and they are beautiful angels. I look at these girls and I find the same innocence, but it will be gouged out of their souls growing up with a horrible mother and a weak father. It is wayyyyyy worse than being raised by single mother, because at least the girl will seek out a father figure that might well be a motor riding thug. These girls have only a future of growing up thinking they are better than everything that walk the earth while looking like walking meat loaf and acting like crazed cows.

Paracelsus, thats noble of you, but I have zero pity for the guy. I dont care what his back story is, if hell has 9 circles I will ask Satan to make a 10th for him. He did the most sinful act ever imaginable: helping this beast reproduce, and bringing into the world 2 innocent souls that will get destroyed. May horror haunt his sleep and insanity eat away his soul knowing every day he not only ruined one life, but 3.

When I started to read the first post, the "bi-polar lawyer" phrase in the first sentence created a mental image in my mind - an image of some thin, redhead lawyer chick. You know, the type who runs around the office wearing a skirt and heels, constantly bitching around and being a pain in the ass in general. I thought to myself, if nothing, the guy at least got some crazy sex as consolation prize for his stupid decision to marry her.

Then I got to the part where she was described as overweight. This gave me a bad feeling about the whole thing.

And then I got to the picture in the second post.

Here is the absolute tragedy - many mental illnesses are heritable. So because of her absolute selfishness, she could be damning at least one kid to have the same mental illness. Mom's morbid obesity can also be passed on to the next generation. Good one, mom and dad, at least one daughter will likely be mentally ill and obese.

On the bright side : The other one will be mentally ill with an eating disorder, daddy issues and hot as fuck...thank you
