I believe that Gen X women caught the brunt of this as many came from a traditional household but the world was telling them to go out and work for fulfillment. This manifests in women that stay at home to be like mom feel like they aren’t living to their potential and women that work all the time feel like they’re missing out on being a mom.

It could be the same for following generations as I’m just speaking from my own vantage point.

This gentleman, is the type of woman we should aspire to build relationships with. Note the innate gratitude and happiness. In my eyes, if you are an IRL 5, you are infinitely more valuable than an OT 10. A woman who lives the synergy between men and women correctly. Let me know if you are offering lessons and the OT will send you some clients.

Women will never be happy because they can't accept in their own minds what actually gives them happiness. They're the fallen side of the relationship and being chaos. The worst thing we ever did was listen to what they said they wanted instead of just looking at what they were choosing. Unless they've had a lot of male influence, most women will hate everything they are and secretly just want everyone else to feel the way they do.

Chaos is just a rejection of happiness. It is denying yourself happiness. It is capitulating to the abyss.

Ya but you probably treat her well

BIL got a big bonus last spring and told his family they were taking a 3 week trip to Europe.

Of course she goes all out on FB announcing this trip, starts to plan for it... 2 weeks later a brand new Mustang Cobra shows up via delivery. Tells SIL at that moment that they aren't going to Europe.

His reason: "no way I'm paying 15k just for fricking plane tickets".

Kids, both in HS, were totally devastated. She was just casually like "well we didn't realize how expensive it was". I've known her for 20 years (same time me and wifey been together) and it's hard to not feel bad for her.

I 100% agree and it is 100% how my husband and I live every day.

I agree with house mom though- you have mom guilt if you work and helping to provide guilt if you stay home.

Interesting article on tradwives and how women are realizing that the lifestyle of not working outside the home (being a stay-at-home wife) is actually attractive.

Good. It's important to make sure our daughters see a positive mother/female role model at home. What's also important is for the husband/wife to put themselves first, and not their children over their relationship. They aren't your friends. Kids will see this as a positive in the long run.

On a separate note ..nothing sexier than a good traditional wife and mother. Just wish the trashy tatto fade would end.

When she divorces him, I'm local. I've drug my kids in Biz to Europe (elementary school) already, and the graduation trip to my daughter is going to Petra (the pink city, as she calls it.) My kids have been to Sagrada Familia, Paris, etc. Most other kids have been to Cancun and Orlando.

F that. I priced flights out for some dude that needs to fly from Jacksonville to NYC in six months an hour ago. But when women take the easy way out and lie, it reinforces that stuff just happens and nobody had any control. That's probably the most destructive trait on the planet. She didn't do it, but she made excuses for it. Especially for older kids in HS, she's just (no offense) teaching them they're at the mercy of the machinations of the world, and don't have any control, really. I don't think that is a productive version of the world.
