OUCH! I'd run away from that too. I guess the hubby saw that tank top and realized what it said it was true. It's kind of like the animal that found it's paw caught in a steel trap that chews his foot off.

I saw my ex-husband in court last week. It was the first time I had seen him in longer than I could remember; the exact date lost in an 8-inch-thick legal file of court proceedings that is currently lying on my desk. In fact, I could count on one hand the number of times I have seen him since I started that file four years ago.
Up until just a few days ago, I literally could not find my ex-husband.
But before he disappeared four years ago, I was a married, stay-at-home mom of a 3-year-old daughter and 7-month-old son. Then overnight my world turned upside down when my husband said he was going to the store and simply never returned.
Not only was my marriage over, but he left me with two very young children in a position where I was unable to instantaneously support us.
Quitting his job and leaving his work vehicle (his only car) in the parking lot of his employer, he turned off his phone, moved out of town, and became untraceable. His actions were not just an exaggerated statement that he no longer wanted our marriage, but it was a heartbreaking declaration that he also no longer wanted our kids.
And I’ve heard it all; the judgments that people love to throw my way. “Didn’t you see this coming,†and “what did you do to make him leave?†Or “this is why you never should not have been a stay-at-home mom without your own career,†and my favorite, “you had kids with him, you did this to yourself.â€

It was a rhetorical question to the mother who had said she hadn’t seen her husband since ‘whenever’ ....
Only a coward leaves his kids.

“I’m guessing she had a relentless and loud mouth on her.”
The odds are definitely not against it.
“He probably went gay.”
I’ve known men who did just that and everyone supported his decision.
IT’S THE BEST WAY TO ABANDON YOUR FAMILY.
One of them is a pastor.
Nice!
Like Paul Simon song said, “Must be 50 ways to leave your lover”
Well, why stop there?? Get married, get a mortgage, have kids, and then find 50 ways to leave your family behind...Is that catchy or what?! Well, I think it is clever, but not nearly so clever as some of the ideas posted here...
For example:
Going gay is “the best way to abandon your family—absolutely the best! So clever, so 2016, so PC! Thanks so much for sharing! What a great idea! And you have known men (more than one!) who have done that and everyone supports it...A pastor too very trendy.
Sure beats Post #1 I tell every young man who will listen: Take your future into your own hands and put on a rubber. And never, ever marry.
But doesn’t top your other idea:
That’s why I always say “A hit man is always cheaper than a lawyer” though I have a feeling you might have been kidding here...
And on a related note, there will be at least half a dozen posts on the breakdown of the family this week on FR. Definitely need an auto link to this helpful thread on family abandonment...
I have a long standing policy of not sharing personal information on public forums such as this. I do discuss public info like the fact I live in Texas. So I will just say I have tons of personal experience in this area. I agree that there is a lot of injustice when it comes to divorce and custody of children.
I proposed a simple solution (though not a panacea) for making things more fair. Give the party not seeking divorce preferential treatment when it comes to property and custody unless it is proven (not just asserted) that the spouse is responsible for causing the divorce based on physical abuse, adultery, substance abuse, or some other extreme cause of harm to the marriage and family.
I came up with a method for fairly splitting something between two people a long time ago also. It works for a lot of things. For example, there is one piece of pie left and two children get to split it. Let one split it, and let the other pick a piece. To a certain extent you could do this with property in a divorce.
I have seen those comments on the same thread talking about the same women.
Fact is for some FR males there is nothing a woman could possible do that would be right with them.
Except give them sex on demand.
But then they would call her a whore after they got their rocks off.
But women who don't give them sex on demand are frigid.
lol
Wow. Sounds like some man done you wrong. Try to remember that not all men are the man who burned you.
Is this for real?
Where did you find the picture? I did not see one with the article.
it’s not real. i googled ‘ugly woman’ and that one hit the spot!
That’s really sad. There are good people and bad people of both genders. MGTOW is as sad as feminism. I completely understand the motivation for this movement. But I think that Gd has put good people of both genders here and it’s up to us to find them.
I’m not the kind of woman that your movement fears. When I divorced, we made it a mutual decision. He didn’t want to pay alimony or the “correctly calculated” amount of child support. I wanted to make all decisions and have full control over our son, though I didn’t want to cut his father out: I just had reasons to worry about his safety. So I waived my right to alimony. I waived my right to ever go after his salary, etc. I lied on the divorce document in order for the child support calculation to come out as low as he wanted it to.
I am a human being first, a woman second.
MGTOW:
Men Going Their Own Way
Not gay, not woman-hating.
Just a total refusal to get married, refusal to enter relationships in which one is subordinated to feminism.
The concept of “men’s rights†provokes laughter, strangely, but that’s what MGTOW is, in a nutshell.
Men Going Their Own Way...
Great concept!!! Catchy!
Seems like a great organization for savvy men who can’t be encumbered with tedious traditional family responsibilities like women and children. I am convinced this thread will prove to be a great recruiting tool for MGTOW as I am sure several posters will fit right in—perhaps you should contact them via FReepmail just to make sure you don’t miss a potential member or add a website link.
In addition to my favorite suggestion on this thread —men should go gay as “It’s the best way to abandon your family” I really like the suggestion posted in #1:
I tell every young man who will listen: Take your future into your own hands and put on a rubber. And never, ever marry.
Good advice, but even better advice...seriously rather than a condom, if you and your club feel this way about women and children, you really need to skip the condom and just keep it in your pants.
Meh, not really my style.
Now go get me a beer.
Ah, thanks for the clarification...from some responses, I think some thought your picture was actually the woman whose husband left her...
yeah. i didn’t have the heart to break the spell... ;-)
Suit yourself—lost recruiting opprotunity...put you could start a ping list.
Beer? Sorry, I’m too busy teachin my boys how to hate marriage and women.
I know a physician who has lived at the poverty level for the last 25 years taking only occasional fill in jobs to avoid supporting his two children.
Not supporting or connecting with the children is the ultimate the hell with you that a parent can do.
