r/MGOTW2 - Its not about hating women, it's about learning to live a fulfilling life on your own terms. I would check it out. I can relate a lot to your story - been there, done that, have the t-shirt. Nothing special about your story - you're just human. I can tell you 100% that this divorce was coming regardless of your drinking. The #1 best advice I can give you is to laywer up RIGHT NOW. Do not wait. The last to act is the one who loses the most - I know you don't feel like it but hit the ground running hard.

Being an alcoholic is not living life on your own terms, it is living life on the bottles terms. Maybe if he wasn't married, it wouldn't have slapped him across the face this way. Maybe a DUI with a dead or maimed victim would have been the wake up call

MGTOW and drinking have nothing to do with one another - I should have clarified because i can see where it looks like I'm suggesting they do. I absolutely think he should give up drinking, but also go his own way. Note it says living a fulfilling life and aims towards embetterment. Alcohol has no place in that.

To each their own, but just visited that sub to see what you were talking about, and it is woefully underwhelming. In response to militant feminism, some men decided to surrender. I don't see any victory in that, or personal or societal benefit.

Any reward requires sacrifice, and personal relationships are no different. I am not saying one should marry a feminist,(that is obviously a path towards hell on earth). But when you are 70 years old, and living by yourself, with no wife, no children, no family and playing video games and attempting to hang out with others in similar positions no longer carries the excitement it once did, I don't think you will find life so fulfilling.
