Correct. The fake motivation earlier was the expectation, or hope, that she would respond properly to being treated well. You now know that hope was false, and you now know that she will/would respond MUCH more properly with being treated poorly.

Though Sandbergs’ advice to young women is enraging, it’s beneficial for younger men, and even a guy in my position to see the intention for ‘settling’ so clearly promoted. It solidifies the undeniable truth that just a few short years ago was just observations, questioning, speculations as to what was really happening around me.

One of my stepping stones into Red Pill awareness came a few years ago, my wife essentially stating that because I’d gone so long as a young man without intimacy, it shouldn’t be a priority for me now. Yup- I don’t think I need to say anything else about that. Another more recent gem- that Husbands don’t really deserve frequent BJs. Fun Fact: Her reasoning on that came from the experience of a former roommate, whose boyfriend fresh out o’ prison had apparently demanded (&received) them 4* a day.

The issue isn’t entirely about intimacy, just a few seconds on the internet with an amateur video can inform a schlubby just how very shortchanged he is.

The most angering part of being duped into thankless servitude at this point for me is recognizing the disparity in allowable behaviours women discern between types of men. This should be stressed as a warning to boys, since the consequences can last a lifetime, and into future generations. I’ve become aware over time of how my wife helped through school, fed and housed a guy who would bring home other women, fucked her Bestie also, never once admitting that they were ‘together.’ For 4years she allowed that shit to continue until he finally moved out.

So I’ve almost no real motivation to be good, or nice, or hell even respectful towards her now since from the start her expectations of me have been entirely different. And I know that, deep down, she’ll never be satisfied with me or my efforts because she’s not haaaapy. However our situation turns out, our children will not be unaffected by this reality you discuss.

My girlfriend has two children by another man. On the plus side, I’m only the second man she has been with in her life, she was celibate for 5 years before meeting me, she was a virgin when she got married at 20, and her ex husband divorced her after 20 years because he decided that he was gay.

Regarding her kids, she said to me once that “family comes first” (over me).

I sincerely hope that you will be an inspiration to other women. Would you be willing to offer her coaching on the devotion of herself and her children to me? ;-)
