Agreed. Us guys have a word for guys that act like that.


It's just a fact that women are more likely to process through emotion. This has nothing to do with hating women. It has to do with rejecting emotion as a substitute for reasoning. Men do it too. Women can be perfectly logical. But when someone argues from feelings instead of facts, a logic-driven person is obviously going to consider that inferior reasoning. That’s not bigotry. That’s standards.

It still hurt even 2 years later truth is it probably took a few more years for me to move past all of it if we ever do.


Mine just left in March, so I’m still in what I call my “divorce honeymoon” stage.

I immediately moved to Mackinac Island, which was my ex-wife’s favorite place on earth, and the venue change, and knowing she’s seething about that (from what others tell me) has honestly helped keep me in a good place mentally.

But yeah, I still have those late-night moments where I question myself, and I know I’ve probably delayed some of the emotional processing that’s going to come due eventually.

Keep your head up, brother. Some things don’t just disappear. You just get better at carrying them.

So she is upset about getting what she wanted on a fasttrack. She is horrid and the eating on a 4 min video proves she is insane.

My divorce broke me.

My first marriage I went through what you described. I vowed never to get married again, however God works in mysterious ways. There is no going back, however with time, and it took a good 5+ years to feel somewhat normal again, times does heal.

Keep pushing brother.

I guess

I think some women are programmed to lash out and automatically try to hurt people. I grew up with a mother like that and unfortunately I’ve worked with a lot of women like that. My boss right now is like that.

Men use that against women when they can - men will make women cry by saying something that triggers emotions - then men see that as weak but it’s control men want in the first place. And they feel they are controlling the situation and the woman is ‘out of control.’ Logic can give a fake sense of control. And lack of communication is the problem with all parties.

There have been many times where men have tried to make me cry or get some sort of emotional reaction out of me - and either I ignore it or laugh, and im seen as a cold bitch.

Oh well.

Same thing happened to me almost two years ago. When she dropped the bomb my response was "Ok yeah, let's do it". Then I got accused of gaslighting and quitting on us. Oh, and being a manipulator.

Bruh I ain't never getting married again.

We’re using “emotion” in two different ways.

I’m not talking about the obvious visible version of emotion: crying, yelling, lashing out, getting visibly upset, etc. And I agree with you that men often weaponize that stereotype against women. A man can intentionally provoke a reaction, then pretend the reaction proves he was the rational one. I,I've been guilty myself many times. Not what I mean.

What I’m talking about is internal problem solving and processing. Emotion-led thinking means the feeling drives the conclusion first, then the reasoning gets built afterward to defend it. Logic-led thinking means the standard comes first, then you apply it even when the answer is uncomfortable or personally inconvenient.

That doesn’t mean men are automatically logical. Plenty of men are wildly emotional while hiding it behind a calm voice, pride, ego, anger, status games, or fake “facts and logic” theater. Anger is emotion too.

I debate emotionally led men on here constantly, especially in political threads. The majority of the time the most emotionally reactive people in the thread are the same guys who spent years chanting “facts don’t care about your feelings.” Then the second a fact cuts against their team, they lash out, dodge, insult, change the subject, or pretend the emotional attachment they have to their side is actually sober analysis.

So no, I’m not saying “women are emotional and men are logical.” That’s too simplistic. I’m talking about whether the conclusion is being driven by a consistent standard of reasoning, or by the emotional need to protect ego, identity, tribe, status, comfort, or control.

I’m sorry to hear that, but I still think we’re talking about slightly different things.

I don’t mean anyone is purely logic-led or purely emotion-led. No one is 100% either, and you can always find exceptions. I’m talking about which one tends to drive the reasoning process.

Emotion-led thinking starts with the feeling, preference, fear, resentment, loyalty, ego, or desired outcome, then builds an argument around it. Logic-led thinking starts with the standard, principle, or evidence, then follows it even when the conclusion is personally inconvenient.

That doesn’t mean the logic-led person has no emotion or that the emotion-led have no logic. Logic and emotion are always in the car together. I’m talking about which one has its hands on the wheel.

Your ability to post old things that have been posted several times on here, and then hide/delete all of the “Germans” responses is quite uncanny.
