This was almost 5 years ago now. I didn't make this video to start a witch hunt, or anything like that. I am passed it. It's just me, sharing my experience. Every story has 2 sides. Maybe in her view, I'm nuts. I don't know. You have to understand that when you're in the thick of it; you can't see what everyone else is saying. You're just 'blinded' with feelings and 'hope'. Finland is dope, my second home. A serious contribution to my overall being that you see now. One bad experience with a person from that country doesn't ruin the entire country. Plenty of generous people there. Once friends with a Finn, you're friends for life. They'll give you the shirt off their back, a place to stay, and all you need do is ask.

And dont try to think it from your end you werent weird or anything you were just different for each other
BTW Man shes CRAAAAAAAAZY
I guess those Finnish teachers don't agree with the Feynman/ Sagan model of teaching. The content is exciting, it's teachers like them that suck any life out of education...bleh
Also had a very similar situation with a Russian ex. Engaged for a month, then she broke it off. Broke my heart, but you just figure out how to move on I suppose.
Also, good thing it happened then when there weren't any of your assets to split. Would be tough giving it to someone that didn't care at all about you.
I like how you made a shoutout to the people that helped you through your tough time.
Thank you for sharing your story. You might not realize it but you might be helping someone out there whose in an abusive relationship identify abuse, so kudos to you dude!
For anyone who is reading this, please please please understand that there is no such thing as "manning up" or "growing a pair" when you are being abused, regardless of the gender of the abuser. Abuse is abuse and you need to run as far as possible away from people who are hurting you.
why can't people just be happy..? after the honeymoon phase, it's harder than it looks. well anyways... you wanna trade ex's? I'm just looking for a way to also monetize your ex-wife.
like TechLead did! LOL
I'll trade. Let me start my UA-cam channel first.

Man the first red flag is at the beginning of your relationship. She told you not to come, and you helped her cheat on her boyfriend. If a woman is unfaithful to her last partner, she will eventually dump you as well. "She never was your woman; it was just your turn."
Well. That just made sense.
Are you watching Darius m's channel by any chance? :)
@@diobrando4897 Yes actually, the quote came from him, but the advice is from personal experience with another girl. Thankfully I didnt marry her tho
@Itachi Uchiha listening to his story was just red pill red flag city. Glad I see em now
faxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
your first red flag was that she broke up with u and told you not to come and told u she found someone else. If ANYONE, breaks your heart EVEN ONCE, you are supposed to run in the opposite direction.
Video game répulsion would be the first & last red flag for many of us.
@Matthew Neddeau Nah we just think that's not gonna happen for us.
@Matthew Neddeau A lot of times, it is because
(1) we are "in love" / "in lust" / infatuated / high on someone falling for us / being love-bombed by phrases like, "You are the most amazing human being ever!" and
(2) it's the beginning of the relationship and we don't want to throw away a potentially good thing ('they think I'm the best person they have ever known' - love bombing!) over something seemingly trivial at the start of a relationship or
(3) we are codependent from having grown up with bad parents, which sounds like Josh, because he used the phrase "knight in shining armor" and that he wanted to prove to her what it was like to experience real love (in hindsight, huge red flags!!), and
(4) we don't notice the individual red flags until one day when we 'wake up' and see that we are surrounded by a sea of them, most times after which we are already committed, like married or having a child with them, or in my case, they moved in with you and you take pity on them because they have no money or other place to go, etc. so we say to ourselves, "I made a commitment and I fully intend to keep it," where the other person has probably already long since moved on. Speaking of which....
The one who seems neurotically paranoid about being cheated on, is statistically the most likely to be the one doing all the cheating.
He was really young at the time and these were his very first experiences. We don’t always get it right at 20. I think he did well considering the age.
Yes it is unethical too trying to break someone's relationship to be the white knight.
Regarding your ex-wife: "You can’t be friends with those who broke your heart, ruin your life, took advantage of your love, kindness, forgiveness, or show contempt. They don’t deserve access to your life. There is no friendship there."
Well said. I believe this applies to any relationship in your life

Sure did

Yess! Thank goodness they didn't have kids!!!
Dodging a bullet still hurts. I think about my ex of 2.5 years nearly every day. Bad break up and lot of regrets that I can't mend.
He didn't dodge it, he married it.

Bud, your experience sounds so much like mine (apart from living abroad). You’re not alone, dude. I’ve been there too. Stay strong, brother.
Me too, I’m a woman but same experience with a foreign guy. Those experiences don’t define us or others though. You live and learn. You can not become a bitter person and think everyone is the same. Yes, we were wronged but not everyone will do the same to us again. What is this telling us? That there’s a lot of not so good people out there so we have take out time and look for red flags. We also have to be accountable for our poor judgement at the time if we think retrospectively about not getting to know a person good enough before marrying them and looking for potential red flags. Self-awareness going forward is needed.
I clicked on this expecting to hear a bitter man talk about his past experience with a failed marriage. What I got instead is a story of how a man was kicked down by circumstance, and still managed to pick himself up against all odds. Dude you're a hero. I'm subscribing to your channel now.
Took a lot of balls to share this story. Really appreciate it man! We're all human
thereason1010 exactly what I was thinking
it sounded like being in hell, especially the deportation threat and losing your degree.

@@dannytheman2217 there's always more men for them, it's on us to avoid the well of bitterness and misery but becoming our best selves. but it's difficult to reach that point without then desiring love
Dude I am so glad that I listen to the entire of your story. If you don’t mind, I would love to continue to share it. It could save so many people who may be open to it
It sounds like your ex was a narcissist. We all make mistakes, but don't let her make you eternally bitter. Just don't ignore the warning signs. Trust your gut, take your time, & look beyond the initial emotional romantic feelings. Proceed with caution. Good luck 🙂
100% agree
It takes a strong man to speak up about emotional abuse.
Very much so! It gives me hope that one day I will find a man who is able to share his feelings and have a healthy discussion when need be lol. So far no luck!
I'm shocked at how many stories I'm hearing about verbal, emotional and physical abuse by women. I'm wondering if things were always like this but no one talked about it or if its a downside of radical feminism.
@@marybell2002 its been like this for a very long time. The woman who opened the first shelter for women in the UK was a devoted feminist. After a while she came to the realization that men experience very similar kinds abuse and tried to address this issue. The response from the feminist community towards her, was swift and brutal. They basically excommunicated her, poisened her dog and destroyed her reputation.
I could be wrong but i believe her name was Erin Pizzey. Look up her story if you're interested
Her words were brutal, emotional abuse. So sorry this happened.
Are you kidding! she was the only one working & spending money ON HIM?!!! And for YEARS?!! Unbelievable.
And he says now that he doesn’t want to be a provider for a woman!! Pathetic. No one in their right mind would be with a loser that takes money from women.
They say love is blind, but marriage is sure an eye opener.
LOL :D :D
Lol yeah.
thanks Disney.
Wow, this comment rhymed , it even be a poem
@@nagisa0931 It actually didn't but ok
Josh, I can't imagine anyone not just loving you. It wasn't you, it was her - and she realized at that airport what she was losing. God bless you, young man.
I've never wanted to give someone a hug more than I did after hearing this. It takes a strong man to talk about stuff like this. So glad it worked out for you in the end.
U r so right.
I want this guy to do well in life
ME TOO
Haha You know that's true
This kid have made many mistakes due to his short age. Thinking that she was going to foot the bills while he was studying was the worst mistake.
I think he is.
He is a good solid dude, you could play pool with and share a few drinks. The woman is spawn of satan my goodness.
I guess I was lucky. I married a divorced man and I was a young widow. Marriage is hard. It had some challenges. We made a pact. We gave each other one thousand I loves you every day. One touch to the face, 1 hug, 1 kiss, a daily reminder of our love. We were together 37 years. I lost him to death.
You were a young widow, now you are an old widow. Ironic.
@Wally Reyes 🤣🤣
That is how marriages are supposed to work.
very sorry for your loss
F these losers making jokes you were wonderful and every marriage should be like this.
I'm 28 right now, never married, I had two engagements both did not work out well. I know Divorce is not the same as ending engagement but I feel you and what you have gone through becasue it feels sucks to be lonely and don't have someone in your life to support you in times of need in this tough life.
There is something about you Joshua. You're the type of person that makes the world a better place. Thanks for sharing.
I keep my divorce certificate in a frame in my bedroom to remind me never to do that again.
@@Comeswoopfam not everybody is like that, chill bro. there's someone who loves you, but she just has yet show up
@@user-ti2xi9bd4u dude honestly it ain’t even that...fuck the legalities involved with marriage. They fuck men over. Why can’t we just give each other a ring and call it a day...it’s 2020 men and women work and the laws can’t be like the fu king 40’s anymore. Why do we need a contract to spend our lives with people!!!
Fucking legend
If I get a devorce that's what I'm going to do!!!
I think people get married way too lightly. Also what people don't seem to realize is that even if you are well matched it's going to take a lot of work to build a strong lasting marriage. For me it's not something I want but I know plenty of people who are happily married and would never want to be single. I think we need to just stop pressuring people to get married because a lot of people dont really want it- both men and women.

You my friend were dealing with a pure covert narcissist, I as well am now seperated for over 18 months but rather her presenting a divorce paper, she caused me not to recieve my federal taxes and drained all my energy, as well as my resources, but i have two kids with that Jezzebelle(A.K.A. Jezzy)although i did love her, she as well was draining on my emotions. Just be glad and happy , we are are survivors.
That divorce was a blessing, imagine being in that situation still.
"My parents were sued and lost their house. They were basically homeless...." That couped with the divorce, rough times.

Imagine being able to say "Sorry I can't go on vacation with you, I'm banned from every nation in the EU." Your friends would be like wtf did he do?
I guess he might now be a supporter of Britain leaving the EU.
Jajaja
😂
Strange. Here in Belgium, you would keep your permission to stay after the divorce and it is also within the EU. Josh is also talking about deportation back to the USA and a 10 years ban from visiting any EU Country. Josh, I think your ex wife and her family were playing you. This would never happen within the EU. In reality everybody can come over to the EU, file for a citizens permission and wait. In the main time you get food and shelter. If your citizens permission is declined, you can always go to court. Here totally free. Courtcost and Laywer. So You can prolonge your stay for 3 to +10 Years. Yes I know a case, we're it took 16 Years to have a final Verdict. She got a piece of paper, saying that she had to leave Belgium, that is all. She is still living in Belgium and has now even the Belgian Nationality. You can always file for a new citizens permission if your situation has changed. Western European Countries are still feeling guilty for the Holocaust and Hitler, so we would never deport people. To my American friends, You should definitely come over and visit Europe. Greetings

I agree people dont understand that men can also suffer abuse.
Women are (usually) conditioned not to get into physical altercations, so instead they hone their skills toward doing psychological battle against others.
@@TheUtuber999 yes that's a fact
@@TheUtuber999 women are as aggressive as men, except socially instead of physically. That's a psychological fact.
@@TheUtuber999 And those psychological attacks often do way more damage then physical. It damages the mind and spirit. Bitches be crazy.
@@TheUtuber999 You'd be surprised. You know who have the highest incidence of physical domestic abuse? Lesbians.
But in hetero relationships, definitely. Seen it many times, lived it myself.
I am going through your videos. If you haven't already, hire an attorney and follow up with the divorce. Make certain the paperwork has been filed and you are divorced. It's concerning you signed something you couldn't read and obviously aren't clear on the process. Hopefully enough time has passed that emotionally you can revisit it if only to make certain that chapter is indeed over.
very good advice!
I’m really proud of you and how far you’ve come! 😊 Thank you for opening up and sharing with us your story

josh, man, so sorry you had to go though this. But thanks for sharing. As painful it is to recall this, there are some good lessons for people.
As a Finnish woman, also long ago divorced from a man (British) who tried to adapt to life in Finland, this was super hard to watch. You really came up with the worst sides of Finland, and unfortunately, your story is one I have heard from others in almost the same words.
I think Russian people are better at marriages.
Well, he plays video games all day and doesn’t have a source of income! What could go wrong???
Why hard to watch? I wonder ...
@@felixt1470 as a former exchange student who moved to Finland and lived there for a whole year I can easily say that living in Finland as a foreigner is not that much easy. Even though I had too many friends and good experience not everyone among my exchange student friends was as lucky as me. Most of my exchange student friends had hard times with making friends or talking to people. And if you can't speak Finnish it's almost impossible to get a job there also Finnish language is world's one of the hardest languages to learn for native english speakers. Because Finnish is a completely different language among european languages, it doesn't have much similarities with english. I have one more last thing to say: Finnish people are one of the worlds warmhearted people but you gotta touch/reach their hearts and it's not easy to do that because they are too shy to show and express their emotions.
@@yavuz9038 according to russia beyond (rbth) and statista, russians divorce nearly equally as much as they marry. if that's considered "good", i'm worried
You married a women who wasnt ready to be married. You are doing better as a single person. Stay blessed
No biiiiig nooooo
He is a good guy and i hope one day he find a good girl too
I am not saying go and search for one.. but at least keep your eyes open
There are good people out there don’t punish yourself because of single woman
Your sexual needs are not something to be ashamed for.. it’s more than normal.. they are life enjoyments. It’s just she couldn’t end the relationship and couldn’t say it clearly so she tried to make you feel bad so you are the one who stop it
People like are wanted.. don’t let a good loyal girl goes a way just because you had a bad experience with a random bii**

Josh you lost someone who didnt care about you, but this girl lost someone who really loved her, so she is clearly the loser. Learning from such situations is more worth than gold.
This is the exact quote I tell myself all the time
Cope. She'll find someone else in no time. Joshua lost big time here, but it seems like it was a good learning experience for him.
@@alantinoalantonio you're right josh won in the end becoming successful, I just think assuming she is going to have a shitty life is cope. Who knows how her life turned out.
@@sunnydays405 It's safe to assume that people that live for themselves and are damaged will end up bitter since they are damaged. Damaged people don't love themselves and therefore it's impossible for them to love others. Josh grew, learned, and knows what to look for and what to avoid. Look around. Wholesome women love people and are genuinely joyful. Selfish cunts end up lifeless inside.
@@alantinoalantonio perhaps you're right. I'm a little jaded and think too many people commit a just world fallacy when looking at these kind of situations. For the record I hope you're right.

The fact you said she said she found another guy from the very beginning and you spent money to take a trip to see her. That would have been case closed. Aside from being young. Guys, do not take crap from any woman who tears you down. No matter how gorgeous she looks. She’s toxic, stay away from her.

I am a girl and because of those two vids and some real life experiences from my family, I am honestly traumatized to get married.
I had a similar experience with a long term relationship. Thanks so much for sharing your story, makes me feel less alone.
I know I can’t watch this video. It’ll just resurface bad memories of my parents’ divorce.
One of the worst parts was knowing how my mom beat my father over the most trivial issues, and my dad started making secret recordings of her abuse. When the inevitable divorce proceedings started, the judge just blindly went along with the narrative that my father was the abuser, and my dad couldn’t present the video evidence he had because the state has a law prohibiting secret audio recordings in a private setting (such as a home).
My dad was then charged as a spouse abuser by the district attorney, and before the case went to trial, his lawyer went to the DA and handed him the videotapes. The DA said “Steven? C’mon you know better. We’ve gotta let this go to trial and see what happens as usual.” And my father’s lawyer just said “Just...look at the tapes, for Christ sakes...” The spouse abuse case was dropped the day after those lawyers talked with each other, but my mom was never charged, because the tapes were inadmissible in court.
My dad still has a public listing on the docket that he was charged with assault despite the case being dropped. He never wants to talk or think about it, because the thought of being treated as the villain despite being the victim is a very, very painful experience to endure...
UndertakerU2ber I am so sorry you and your dad went through that! I learned early that life is never fare. Much Love
How do you feel about your mom now?
Stay tough . Wish you and your dad the best .

Count yourself as lucky to have not had a bunch of kids with this woman and begun making money because it could have been much worse.
I was with a beautiful girl for 3 years who was my best friend in every sense of the word. We treated each other so well, moved in together, bought a house, nearly got married and nearly had kids. We almost had the american dream, so to speak. Over the course of 2 months, I watched her emotionally and mentally fall apart before my very eyes and abuse me emotionally, mentally, and even physically. I was basically forced to move out for my own health as trying to keep our relationship together withered me away. It still baffles me how someone who looks you in the eyes and promises to Love you forever, talks about growing old with you, and even discusses the names of children with you can go to the lengths of hurting you with a smile on their face, blaming you for why they're hurting you, and then projecting their insecurity and infidelity onto you. I've learned since then that those people are only to be pitied and forgotten. They fester in their own narcissism and lies, never really feeling guilty until it's too late and they're desperate for some other sucker to love them. Truly awful stuff, but we all grow stronger from it. Much love to all of you.
@Steven Boortz I totally understand your confusion and your pain. It is unbearable at times and it just feels like a pit of despair that you won't ever get out of. Just know that it's okay to feel all of what you're feeling, and that it will pass. What they did was cruel and unjust. They do it to try and rid themselves of the guilt. They do it because in their mind, if they can convince themselves of the lie that you're awful, they dont have to feel bad for hurting you. They will go to the extent of gaslighting you to the point of making you wonder if you were as bad as they make you think you were. However, a relationship takes two. Both parties contributed to the beginning and failure of the relationship. One the catalyst and one the receiver. The only thing you can do, is keep your head held high and maintain your dignity. Your time is worth way more than what they've done to you. It will take time, and it is going to hurt a lot. I mean, a lot a lot. I'm not going to sugar coat it. It will sting for a long time, but as a result you will gain wisdom, insight, and strength from it. So much so that someone who values you will notice it and be drawn to it. For now, let the pain flow. Cry if you gotta. No shame in it. People will hurt you in life, but you'll always be there to get yourself back up. Love yourself first, and no amount of BS others put you through will ever be too much. Take your time. You fuckin got this. I hope this helped. Have a great day.
And yet, everyone probably blames you....BTDT, go overseas, I did.
@@iamrockness u need some red pill wisdom
@@ahmedcheikh3082 way ahead of you. I got therapy, started hitting the gym and eating clean, looked up guides to be a strong successful male, earned back my self respect, learned the nuance to women, studied stoic and taoist philosophy, and am now red pilled. I don't need nor want a woman for my happiness. After this arduous journey, I am much happier internally than I ever was. I dodged a great bullet, and I'm thankful for my freedom and all the babes I can talk to for free. Life is good.😎👌🏽
Wow you just described what my recent broken relationship of 10 years was, word for word! Its so difficult to process everything and live a life like the past 10 years never existed..
Thank you for sharing this
As a mom of four, and a person with a son myself, it really breaks my heart that she said those things to you-- you're clearly a very smart, strong person. I wish you the very best and continued success in all your endeavors.
What a horrible experience. She was most definitely emotionally abusive.
I'll comment to you but it could have been many others. It is life and no foul done. It is just an experience he had and shared. I didn't see him looking for sympathy. Something I learned is to never take sides in people's relationships because they may kiss and make up.
Are you kidding! she was the only one working & spending money ON HIM?!!! And for YEARS?!! Unbelievable.
And he says now that he doesn’t want to be a provider for a woman!! Pathetic. No one in their right mind would be with a loser that takes money from women.
@@DX-d Why is this any worse than a man spending money on his wife and working? That's MARRIAGE!
i cant think of a more real and down to earth youtuber than you bro. thank you for spreading your message and your story. it has helped me and countless others.
Sure thing, but don't go to jail.
This was a wonderful video. We're with you man. So many of us have learned the hard way.
Thanks for sharing brother. Wishing you all the best!
Josh being real the most wholesome thing on youtube. So many people "fake it till they make it" and keep faking afterwards too, because they never knew how to be real.
Kudos Josh. You broke the algorithm and you're making (my) world better.
To be real with you, it went from 0 to 100 because she found someone else. She called you a sex addict because she was behind your back.
Nailed it. It's called projection.
omg ghis comment burns. was in a similar situation and you're right
Arv'ceo
OmG this happened to my friend. Your comment is so accurate.
Hahaha.... some Finnish bluntness right there! LMAO
Guaranteed that if you had been an a-hole to her, she never would go anywhere. I've had to learn the hard way over time that that's what they respond to. It makes sense, biologically. We've just been groomed to treat them like queens, open doors for them, pay for meals, spoil them in general. The problem is that they haven't been groomed to appreciate what we do for them, to return the favor in any way whatsoever, or just treat us like men and take care of us the way we take care of them.
I love your honesty. It’s so refreshing. It takes a lot to be that open, vulnerable and speak about such a painful time in your life. I’m so happy that you got out of that toxic relationship and are doing so well for yourself. Never give up. Never stop trying to better yourself and your station in life. You have a new sub because of this video. Keep being honest and doing you. ❤️
Wow 👏 Thank you for sharing. You are healing so many people through sharing your pain and victories.🙏
Crying doesn’t make you weak. It takes courage to cry out loud. It makes you human.
I love your comment
U only weak as a Man when u dont scream out Loud to GOD with tears Bro
I'm not sure. I still remember the first time I cried infront of my ex, and she laughed. Probably best to do that alone...
@@Nihilist_Waltz i can imagine that wasnt a good experience.. your emotions are valid tho, and there are people out there that would like to comfort you instead of laugh :)
@@xoxoJGWS Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment genuinely. However in general, when it comes to relationships dynamics between the sexes. As a man, you are expected to be the rock. If you're with a woman, and you start to become emotionally vulnerable wih her, she is hard wired to lose attraction for you. I understand that everyone is an individual, and has individual preferences, but if you tell men it's okay to cry in front of your girl, you're setting the guys up for failure.
My goodness...you seem so sweet. This just sounds horrible. She was laughing at you when you're crying. I'm sorry but that's just a new level of evil.
They're out there!👺
Amazing story! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this!! ❤️
I laughed , cringed, empathized, and wasn’t surprised all at once.
Yup!... the voice of experience.
Shes crying and screaming at you, then 4 seconds later she is laughing .... yeah, sounds like a psycho, dude. WTF?
Nope. Just sounds like typical Finnish woman
Typical

The real problem is men just marry women soley on looks then get disappointed when she turns out to be a nut job.
You men always chase the bad girls and turn your noses up at the good women just because they ain't hot.
Watching this 3 years after you posted this, and this story telling is very valuable to me as a 21 year old man wanting to be with a Dutch Woman from the Netherlands. Also im from the south of the US, studying mechanical Engineering and wanting to move in together in the Netherlands, and also failing many of my classes. I am terrified
Thank you for sharing this experience.
I was in a 5 year relationship with someone I thought I was going to marry. Turns out I was delusional and she was a gas-lighting sociopathic narcissist. The pain was real, but talk about dodging a bullet.

@@bitzartdev I read the expression in an Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn book some 35 years ago. He was using it as a metaphor for something in his musings that I long ago forgot. The literal meaning, however, stayed with me and is applicable to the poor boy's misadventure in Finland.
I appreciate your candor. We have very similar relationship/divorce/family circumstances. It's quite difficult. It changes you forever, and you will never figure the relationship or her out. It's all quite extraordinary, actually. I'm very sorry.
Our story made me realise how much of a safety net I always had. Thanks you for sharing it.
What a kind & patient human being you are. Wow. We don’t stop and think that men get abused this way just as women do. Just, wow.
THAT PART.
I agree with you.
Haters gonna hate and betas gonna bate.
and why don’t women think about the abuse they do to men?
Aww that’s sounds so harsh, really sorry you went thru that ❤
“I will not be friend zoned by my wife!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

MGTOW
Hannibal L yes, please go your own way and stay that way to spare people.
Unfortunately, as a divorced guy, it always comes down to this. Women lose interest in sex much sooner than men.
@@SaraFJones MGTOW is growing every year there, hoss. Plenty of "people to spare."
Josh, so crazy our stories are SO SIMILAR! So glad I found you!
So much respect to you, I've learnt so much from you. Keep pushing on, you're so strong 💙💯
JOSH I JUST WANNA SAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. IT WILL HELP ALOT OF MEN
Leonidas Sabr it sure helped me out. I know it’s not the same thing but I’ve been dating this girl for 4 years and we just recently broke up and it’s crazy how similar the stories sound.
@@madanydiallo5220 Basically people change as time passes because of events, friends and genetics. Some people change for the better and some people change for the worse. This means the lady of your dreams today can become the witch of your nightmares in the future. MGTOW is the best path which protects your career, everything you earn and you can still raise a family safely.
Just interested- how you gained so much weight although you had no money to buy food?
I needed to hear this, I totally relate to this..
Absolutely was emotional/psychological abuse (even financial).... & doesn't just happen to men. Glad he made it out of there, with a degree, with what seemed like a great job offer & most importantly imho, without children being involved, having to pay the ultimate price.
