Are wives/girls leaving their husbands/boyfriends in droves right now?

excuse me. what business is it of yours if a man likes to play video games? if a man is a good father, a good provider, a good husband, a good person....but plays videos games then what?
uber smart with good jobs....lol. you are a judgmental prick.
i have an awesome job, i am good person with a great life and yes, I play video games sometimes. take your judgmental attitude and stuff it sister.

I'll try to com back and explain, but you really need to open your eyes.

I gotta go to bed now, My hubby said I have to turn off the GLP.

yup, my opinion and I am sticking with it.

have fun with yer xbox

Nothing is static.


The whole culture is in a state of deterioration......just like Rome prior to it's collapse.

thank you for your kind response. brought tears to my eyes, tears I've needed to let out for a number of weeks.

You may have a point. Interesting to try to study what is happening. You'd think that it would be the opposite if something big were happening. That couples would want to batten down the hatches, so to speak. Protect each other. Protect their family, etc. Kinda like nesting is for a woman about to give birth.



Do some research on divorce in the state of Ohio. My husband has lost his mind and is trying to take EVERYTHING! If I just don't sign anything, we still end up divorced and I lose not only my marriage, but everything else as well because I've contested nothing. I have three children and it is my responsiblity to protect them and everything that we have. I'm old fashioned, but sheesh, I'm not going to lay down and take it, no matter what God may or may not do to me. Don't judge me lest you be judged.



My personal opinion is that going to friends and family in times of trouble is a horrible idea. I did this in the beginning and realized real fast that their advice is not based on what the outcome of their life will be. They can say anything they like and their life won't be affected. I decided to only take the advice of my Pastor and church and God with all that I went through. It kept me strong, kept me sane and kept me doing the right thing. While all my friends and family were screaming "get out" the church was saying "hang tight." I think those are the best words to give any married couple. Just hang in...Give it time...check your behavior...ask yourself what you need to change...work on that first. :-)

Sorry to hear that. Time heals even though it hurts so bad now. When I have gone through this in the past, I've just taken time to be by myself and to work on my self esteem and get my confidence back. The best way I did that was to just start working out like a paid athlete. by doing this, you will get in great shape and your mind will feel great too. Its a slow process, but there is no greater feeling than looking in the best shape of your life, being completely over the ex and then running into an ex by pure chance. its priceless. happened to me over the summer, I ran into my old bf who broke my heart so bad at the time, he dumped me for a friend (and cheated on me for months), even though that was years and years ago, his jaw dropped when he realized it was me and he gave me a big bear hug, only it was cut short because my gorgeous husband was standing next to me. my ex was bald, extremely overweight and looked 10 years older than he was even though he was 2 years younger than me.

he just stood there staring at me and then told my husband how lucky he was. It was heartfelt, and i appreciated that he said the kind things he did, but back when he dumped me I thought my life was over. Lesson; I am so glad I did not wind up with that guy, he was dressed like a homeless guy and smelled funny. Funny how things work out. I bet you meet someone really nice someday. Believe that you can and you will.



What an arrogant, narcissistic story.

I know this thread is old but..
In response to the original question: Yes, it is normal these holidays. No, the cycles woman are having are over whelmingly normal as usual. Fluctuations happen with a few here and there within the population, however, as a population women and their cycles are as normal now as ever.

Your latter questions are more like you reaching out to find other guys whose chick ditched him during the holidays. And with this is the true purpose of the message. My response is this. "sorry dude, that sucks. you need to either not be so down on yourself, or go find a way to change yourself. you clearly need to re-evaluate your life somehow right now."

Then again, you'll probaly better off without the *achem*, excuse me. And you're just down now cause you want some tang and nobody in the house is serving. This will pass. Cheer up.

Tell us, oh Oracle of Wisdom...what kind of things should a man spend his time doing?
Why don't you give us a list of your approved past times and activities for a male to do to make him a "man".

I'll make some suggestions. He may smoke his pipe. He may drink beer when he wants. He may go see friends no less than weekly, but only if he feels like it. He is allowed to bring the 4x4 home covered in mud. He may brew alcholic beverages within the home, and the equipment will be sacred.

this was a good thread, sadly the sexists on both sides has ruined it.

I am a 37 year old female...my soon to be ex husband is a 41 year old male (obviously male) and I have to say, that our WoW time is one of my fondest memories!!!! I miss the hell out of our video game time together. I don't understand thebashing of the video game playing men on here AT ALL...Playing a video game is far better than hanging out at a bar, running around doing who knows what, etc...

If a man wants to come home and shoot up some people on Xbox or play WoW to unwind after work or on the weekends, who cares??? There are so many more harmful things one could be doing...

I'm all for doing a dungeon on WoW!!!!!

Good cae for all involved to avoid relationships and for men.


DO NOT GET MARRIED.


Women are not women anymore for the most part. We are all entering a new paradine.


Welcome to the new world

This is just the kind of sexism which is killing this thread.

I suppose men aren't men anymore or do you only point the blame in one direction? AWAY FROM YOU AMIRITE?

Now here is a woman with a good head on her shoulders.

This is the silliest thing. If you eat a bad apple, are you never going to eat another apple? Really?

Just because some men or women are shitheads or crazy or whatever, doesn't mean that every single one of them are. It isn't fair or right to hold other people responsible for the actions of another.

There are good men and women out there. I see them every day. I see and hear plenty of stories of successful relationships every day. They ain't all bad. :-)

You may not want to admit it.


But things are not like they were even 20 years ago. Until things settle into a new form, getting married or any other old school idea is a bad idea.

It is time to let what started 40 + years ago take its natural course. Feminism has toppled barriers for women in many ways, the courts are firmly in the pocket of their ideology.

Marriage is wrong on so many levels these day its not even funny. Women iniatiate 70% of breakups and Divorces. That is a fact.

It is time to end the concept of marriage.For men it is more than just a concept it is many times a financial sandpit.

No, marriage is dead. And ALL the stats as OP has clearly stated are conclusive. Relationships in this new era are not long term, they cannot be anymore. Both men and women have more options than ever. Men with younger availble women and women with the option to leave and get paid well for doing it.

This is a NEW era, welcome it, embrace it.

Dont worry, soon harems will be back in vogue and the rest of the men may become enuchs. This will persist for hundreds of years until it evolves again into a fair system for all.

Until then..... I am having fun playing the game and feeling terrible for the men trapped in it. They will learn, just like many young men do already. Men are now activley avoiding marriage like never before. Women are staying single longer and becoming childless spinsters.

I feel bad for many of all sexes still stuck in the old world thinking.

************************************


This is exactly why you will not hear anything about divorce in the churches......otherwise everyone would leave.


This does not change the fact that God hates divorce......and if you took an oath before Him......you are still married with your first husband in God's eyes.....no matter what a human judge decrees.


And the Scripture says not to judge in a hypocritical manner.......and God knows that I view myself as a wretched sinner......no better or worse than anyone else in the world.

God may hate divorce and if, when I stand before him, he sends me straight to hell for my spouse's desire for divorce, so be it. I am positive that at some point after the divorce, I will be in another relationship and I will not let your words discourage me. Thanks for trying to make me feel like complete shit over his behavior, btw. You're my favorite kind of Christian.

No need to feel bad. I probably have over a million sins in my life. Even a bad thought is a sin. But Christ shed blood is more than sufficent payment.

So what exactly is someone supposed to do when their spouse leaves them and will never return? Be alone the rest of their life? If that's printed in the Bible I think there must have been some kind of error in the translation because that's cruel and atrocious.

Yep, I'm supposed to be alone for the second half of my life or I'm commiting sin AND I'm going to hell because he wants a divorce. That about sums it up...Double bonus boobie prize for anybody like me.

Completely untrue. You must be of an older generation. I'm 22, played videos games since I was 4 or 5. Will play till the day I die. That's not a joke. On my deathbed, Im going to make sure I have a nintindo64 and a copy of zelda:ocarina of time.

Well......that is why the topic is avoided in most modern churches.

Another topic that is avoided......is that the Gospel is supposed to be given for free.....and not as a paid profession.


So.....I no longer even attend church is this country.


And believe it or not......God is perfectly able to repair a marriage......and change the other partner for the better. But you have to put in to Him in prayer.....and have faith....be patient.....and wait on the Lord.

Nothing said about going to hell. Those that give their lives to Christ......are immediately justified.......declared "not guilty".......based on what Christ did on the cross. They are clothed in the righteousness of Christ.....and viewed as white by the Father.

I just want to say that WOW is a widow maker.
But what is WAY worse is that WOW takes a father away from his children.

Don't even try to defend yourself or try to tell me that you only play "sometimes".

Your precious children will grow up and remember you as the guy in chair in front of the computer who says to them, "Later.. just a few more minutes. OKAY!! Just give me a few more minutes!"
The "later" never comes. Days, weekends and months, maybe years of being neglected so you can play WOW. What an achievement you have acomplished. What a man.

Those minutes & days are gone. And your children think you are a big freekin' bag of shit. You neglected them. How many months or YEARS did you forsake them? That neglect will come back to haunt you. Expect a load of grief from your kids when they get older.

they will act out in shocking ways to show how they feel ... and it will be too late. .

Same here except a little bit older but I'll stay single forever with my games before I give up one of my favorite time killers just have a gf/wife. Pussy is easy to get anyway if you have a decent job and hit the gym from time to time.

"He is allowed" and this is the issue with women today, I'm male by the way. Men need to take control (women still deserve to be heard and opinions considered (its a human right to be considered by another). YOU ARE THE MAN. ACT LIKE ONE OR LEAVE YOUR WOMEN. I do not consent to being controlled by a women. At this first sign of she is wanting to control me, I'm out. Period. I'm the man, your the women. (no I don't hate women, I just refuse to have my life controlled by someone other than me) a relationship with a women is a team, partnership and the ultimate level of "bro", if you know what I mean. Alls I'm saying is, men need to be men. Which is why we have so many women haters on glp. "Post-pussy whipped" guys who were never taught how to be a proper man; who failed to take charge in their relationships which resulted in them being screwed over, controlled and ultimately used. Sex isn't that important. It's love. Manhood, your principles, the right women and most importantly love for your fellow humans/significant other. Know these things well and breath easy. **on my phone, please excuse the typos.**

Pfft .. whatever, don't blame the game because some fucktard couldn't control his addictive personality. I play about 15 hours a week give or take and it's not even remotely a big deal.
