The combination of red-flag laws and divorce attorneys including restraining orders as boiler-plate in just about every divorce petition is going to be hot mess.

At least one state has a red flag law that doesn’t allow the police to give notice before grabbing someone guns.

Unrestrained hypergamy. All boundaries in society, culture, and law have been removed for women; but its still all responsibility and no authority for men.

Something similar happened to me, but I still didn’t have a clue. We were Christians, and I thought that things were being worked on and we were adults and blah blah blah.

Needless to say, I was wrong.

There is joy in being a dad in a stable marriage. That is an advantage for men. That is normal. It’s wonderful to be a father. Unfortunately, most married men cannot count on the marriage being stable.

Any time the woman wants to, or gets a feeling that she doesn’t care to control, she can dump the man and keep half of his assets. The man then has to be concerned about earning enough money to support himself and enable him to be a father. However, men are being denied jobs because they are men. Thus the man is castrated and less of a man. This is the result of the man-hating (misandry) that saturates our institutions (law, education, military, religion, etc.)

The desire to be a dad can be fullfilled only in a marriage. Given the risks of getting married, many men will choose not to be married, or dads.

So when women complain about men not wanting to commit, this explains why.

I am not "afraid" of commitment.

I am disgusted with a culture and society that does not value masculinity, my sacrificial acts, and my willingness to take calculated risks ... coupled with the utter contempt for me by racists, sexists, and authoritarian leftists regarding my faith, heritage, skin color, and gender.

Until morale improves, many are "on their own" ....

At my age (mid 50's) Marriage is very scary but not just for the reasons stated in the article.
  1. I've already failed at marriage once, do I really want to take another vow before the Lord that I might not be able to keep?
  2. Having cared for my Dad for 5 years after a stroke the thought of my health issues bringing a mate to financial ruin is scary.
  3. Or my mate developing health issues that bring me to financial ruin equally scary.
  4. All women are crazy. My ex-wife was crazy when I met her, but I didn't realize it until the honeymoon night. My best relationship the girl was good as gold for 5 years, and then she went crazy on me. If they aren't crazy when you meet them they go crazy on you.
  5. Many of the women available at my age are single for a reason. Most have failed at marriage too.
  6. Modern dating also presents problems. The internet does make it easier to screen and connect with potential mates. But it also constantly presents a "grass is greener" scenario as there are always new profiles popping up, many fake, some are real.

Because the commitment being asked for is an entirely one-way affair. No commitment is being made to the man. Not fidelity, not lifelong partnership, not the chance to raise kids.

It’s like being asked to flip a coin where if you call it wrong your life becomes a continuous never-ending Kafkaesque nightmare.

I had an SKS and, yes, my wife filed a restraining order even though I’d never laid a hand on her, threatened her, etc. Part of the initial proceedings was that I give my rifle to a friend and I could get it back when everything was over. And that’s what happened. I didn’t care. I had more important things to worry about.

Western Societies have turned many women into malcontents...

Told them their irrational feelings are all that matters, and yes ladies, many of you have incredibly irrational feelings, and even on the rare occasion they admit their feelings are irrational, the man is still in the dog house for not validating their feelings, even if they are completely insane.

Not all obviously, but lots and lots of them.

You expect your boyfriend to be your girlfriend, become a dyke... because I love you, but honestly, I really don’t give a flying eff that the check out girl at the supermarket was slightly rude to you today, and that 3 second interaction is something you feel I must drop my life to listen to you bitch about it for 25-30 minutes as soon as I walk through the door after a full days work.

I am not opposed to marriage, but I don’t blame any guy today for avoiding it... many women are ungrateful harpies.

Exactly. My brother passed away in January from Alzheimers. His ex-wife did not get involved. It wasn’t expected that she should.

Why are men “afraid” of commitment?

It has nothing to do with "commitment".

In modern American culture, society and law, marriage is an extremely unwise option for men.

Support of the Anti Constitutional modern American culture, society and law is also unwise.

So they point to you and say, "Why aren't you married? You're a man. You must marry!" Then you respond, "But I identify as a woman!"

They are getting what they asked for.

To destroy mankind, Satan must first destroy the foundation. The union between a man and a woman. After that, the rest is cake.

Not all men are afraid of commitment but some women avoid these men in favor of ‘bad boys’ and then these fools act as if all men are despicable.

The fact is that there are good men out there but you have to be willing to look for them, you have to appreciate that they’re not looking for a good time, they don’t go out on Friday nights, and they expect a marriage partner to be an active participant in the marriage all the time and not just on those rare days when the stars align with her mercurial moods.

And you know what’s amazing?

As a woman I’ve discovered that the less I demand, the more I compromise, and the more I give then the more my husband gives to me without even being asked.

It’s crazy.

It’s as if the Bible in Ephesians had all of this wisdom thousands of years ago.

!!!!
