    How easy it is for some people to just get divorced.... I know relationships are hard, But I've figured out that there's always a way to fix things when there's a problem. Five years back, my wife and I were on the brink of divorce because of issues in our marriage, but we found a way to fix them. It was hard, but we made it through.

    A thought for the follow up caller: ask your husband if he would like to stay home as the stay-at-home parent. Assess as you move forward. It sounds like his job could be done on a part-time/voluntary basis, like she's the breadwinner, and she's not hyped about being home through the early years. It might be a worthwhile conversation to have. 🤷🏼‍♀️

      @@benmyers9030 actually that’s not true at all! I was simply saying that might be a viable option if he isn’t inclined to make more money -which is fine if they both agree on it and I don’t believe you can “ make someone earn more $ if you want me to have your baby “ either. But her personality seems like she will not be satisfied living a life based on his current income because she will end up resenting him for not being more like herself and if that never ends well and if him being the stay at home parent would work for them it is simply an option. Personally I would’ve been more than happy to stay home with my kids but life didn’t work out that way and I had no choice but to work and raise them on my own because some men don’t know how to keep their hands to themselves but I made it work because sometimes you just do what you have to do.

      I met a guy that was super cool and we got along fairly well. I found out he had a child late in the game, because he was embarrassed he didn't have custody. I never asked him if he had kids because I never saw any and he never spoke of a child.
      I just let him know nicely that it wasn't for me. He went off, and I had to remind him that's probably why he doesn't have visitation rights. Even if I did date men with kids I would never date men who can't step up for their own child.

      Literally not true. I think most Red Pill ideology is horrible. But many folks become “red pilled” after having horrible experiences with women.
      So many men have been cheated on by a wife, and then have to pay for their new lover in alimony. Countless examples of good husbands who are dragged through the courts and unfairly treated when it comes to custody.
      Females are like men - they are human. Which means women can be capable of absolute cruelty and despicable abuse.
      You can lie to yourself and paint millions of people with a brush. Or you can actually read into their stories and get an understanding why they ended up this way.
      It’s true red pill ideology is idiotic and many men end up falling down the path. But there are also many men who end up that way due to injustices and no one caring.

When I started the discussion about unequal responsibility for caring for the house, my husband tried this using changing the oil in the car, and mowing the lawn as his share. I shot that down and he did dishes and vacuumed for a few weeks.Then he just went back to his old habits. It was a sign of other things. It wasn't about doing dishes..He had given up a little bit of his control. You guessed it.; we got divorced within a year of that time.He just had to find a substitute before he could walk away.

      Theres nothing harsh about affirming the biological reality that women have to have children sooner rather than later. Whats harsh is telling women to prioritize their careers and wait till they feel ready then say oops when they wake up one day and realize they can never have children.

To just TELL your spouse that he should change jobs and make more money because that is what SHE wants. Unbelievable. Dr. John had immeasurable patience with this spoiled brat. She wants everything HER way. Life is full of tough decisions and she has obviously never had to make any with regard to anyone but herself. The word compromise is not in her vocabulary. If I were her spouse, I would tell her to grow up first, and then she might be able to handle raising a child. Any child she raised would ALSO be her pawn. She would look it straight in the eyes and say that the child should do whatever it takes to make HER happy, just like she did her spouse. Dr. John was way too kind to her and should have told her that she was not capable of being a good mom. Still shaking my head.....

      I think red pill has different meanings. I am red pilled in the sense of recognizing biology (created order) and how that plays out in healthy relationships. I realize men are drawn to beauty and women to security. Feminism has not made women happier (see depression rates). Men are often raked over the coals on divorces usually initiated by women. But, there is an extreme side to red pill that scoffs at marriage and wants to tank society and families by sleeping around and never committing. That side is defeatist and harmful for men, women, and children. Work to change laws and society without placing all the blame on women.
