Welcome to the confirmed bachelors club, Here we have no stress and no constant worry.
True dat! My biggest worry is being an awful combat pilot in Elite Dangerous. Everything else is gravy.
I personally find my HOTAS more rewarding than my previous 4 or 5 relationships.

Even though im going through a bit of a rough patch with a woman, i find the level of complaining about woman here a bit over the top by now, this thread has been nothing but generalisation and its not very cool tbh.
Had one of the worst Valentines you could think of, but screw it, we talked like adults and you know, stuff will be alright, no need to throw in the towel for life with a bit of a set back!

I've just had a "dose" of it myself.
The last time I heard from my ex was December 17th last year. The divorce papers came through and I wasn't sure what one part of it meant. I phoned the CAB and they said I would have to go down there as they didn't talk about it over the phone.
I called a taxi, £13 later I was at the CAB. I then had a four hour wait, only to find they did not do divorce and I would need to pay a solicitor etc. I can't afford that, so I asked my ex exactly what this clause meant as obviously it was something bad.
She dodged the issue, before saying, and I quote -
"I do not want any more contact with you. NO CONTACT. Talk to me through my solicitor" and then gave me a random name. No phone number, no contact details (so basically she is lying, she doesn't have one).
So I never contacted her again. Why would I want to? I can't stand her and can't wait to be divorced from her.
Five days ago I get an email from her.
"When can I come and collect my 65" TV?". Now note, this was all taken care of two days after I told her to leave. She said it was stupid, too big and etc and I could have it if she could have the Dyson (two weeks old that came out of our savings) and the £280 microwave she had to have that also came out of our savings, plus £50 out of my monthly allowance.
So I replied "Never, we agreed I could have it".
It slowly went on, for two days, with her lashing out at me, calling me names, accusing me of being a thief "Is it the Mitcham in you? is stealing car stereos and taking drugs not enough for you that you have to steal from a woman you battered?" and etc.
IDK what the hell is going on in her head. She knows full well we agreed I could have th TV, and you can add to that 5 completely unsupervised visits to the flat to collect what we agreed she wanted AND had the removal men in without my knowledge.
I think I can work it out. I think now she is done feathering her council flat nest she has realised that the TV will fit her flat and now wants it.
Any way, at no point was I rude to her and I continually kept telling her not to make it personal and so on. Then she brings up this necklace she bought me one Christmas for £500. It was made by Liberty of London and was bought for me because over the course of three years I had spent in excess of £2500 on Tiffany sh*t for her to wear.
Long story short I hated it. It totally wasn't me AT ALL. so I lied to her and said I was scared of wearing it because I didn't want to lose it. Any way, she brings it up and I say "I don't want it, I never liked it you can have it if you want" of course she greedily said yes, so I sent it second class uninsured lmao, just to show her how little it meant to me.
I thought that would do it, but nope. Then it was "Remember that Furby you bought me for Christmas that I hated and didn't want? I want that too".
I called the Police, sent them the aggressive and insulting emails and had her for harassment. Oddly enough I've not heard a dicky bird from her since.
I still don't hate women.
Look, I am 44 years old and I have been all over the world. Most of Europe, the USA, Brixton in London (I knew drug dealers, murderers, and etc) as well as Camden in NJ (worse than Compton these days) and I knew all sorts of people who would cut your throat no sooner look at you and believe me when I say I have never, ever, met someone as evil, hateful, rude and aggressive has her.
But you know what? that has nothing to do with the fact she has a fanny. It's just who she is as a person.
Being alone? that's a good idea, if you don't like being nagged, having no money and etc. But then even if you were gay and dated a man you would still get that. Living with any human being is hard, because you both have expectations and ideals and so on.

Then they need to grow the intellect to realise that it is just that one person and not a whole species.
I know all women are not rotten because I have an amazing mother. They do exist.
Do I hate my ex wife? you know what, if you pushed me and kept asking then I guess the answer would eventually be yes. However, I also understand that any hatred I have for her comes at a cost to me and my entire being. I would say no, but tbh? if I never ever saw her again it wouldn't bother me so I guess my feelings do contain hate.
Not for long though. Doesn't take me long to get over things once they go quiet.
I just want that divorce through so I can get on with my life.

Part of life dude, Not everything can go everyones way regardless if you find it cool or not, I'm not complaining anymore on here though as it's pointless, Doesn't lead to anywhere, I'm just staying single and enjoying work, Bodybuilding and computers, No stress, No hassle, No lies, No worry
Alien: you're making one large assumption. That being that everyone on this forum bitching about women is slandering the entire gender, and that isn't the case. If a guy says "I'm done with women" that obviously doesn't mean he's slagging the entire gender. And he shouldn't have to get all PC here and state the obvious. Some snowflakes here really need to learn to read, or grow thicker skin. Or both.

Note number 2
There is a big difference between being done with women (that you don't really had to sing from the rooftops) and continually posting hateful whiny messages about how much women have no morals, are evil, etc etc.
That is called being misogynistic.
I will leave the reading audience to decide.
It's also not a very good idea to slag off the country you are living in, ungratefully putting it and its traditions and culture down when you are using it for all of its benefits.
But whatever, that is for another day.

To quote the great comedian Doug Stanhope: "tradition and heritage are just dead people's baggage. Quit carrying it".
My main point (and I can't see pics from work, so no idea what you posted) is simply this: a lot of people on this forum are CHOOSING to be offended by Dice, myself, and others. That's your CHOICE. You read a forum post, and immediately crucify the guy without any ATTEMPT at giving him the benefit of the doubt. It's obvious to me that Dice isn't slagging ALL women. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he loves his mom / sisters / aunts / grandma / etc. He's just venting about some bad experiences. CHOOSING to be offended by that, and picking apart his words, is a very negative choice to make.
Maybe it's just age (I'm 47), but I seem to be able to read multiple "bitching" posts without being offended, where some of you act like Dice just slandered your own mother. That's a choice, and if you enjoy heaping negativity like that onto yourself, I can't help you. But I learned a long time ago that YOU have a choice in that regard. You can CHOOSE not to be offended, to take it in stride for what it is (venting frustration), and just let it slide off you, thereby not allowing a negative post on a forum to inject even the *slightest* bit of negativity into your life.
P.S. Alien I'm not talking directly about you here BTW, just people in general being offended by stuff like this, and taking it to heart when they shouldn't.

Bingo
People nowadays from my own experience seldom like to hear things outside of their comfort zone or "safe space" hence they start complaining A LOT in hopes of getting the people in charge to shut it down, This whole "I'm offended" culture is severely pathetic.

I couldn't give a crap what he thinks about women. He will reap what he sews. If that is is outlook then that is what he will get, life is good like that (it's called Karma).
However, the reason I am actually annoyed is because my grandfather risked life and limb to keep this country and many others from the Germans. He was a POW for six months, and was tortured, even though it was against the Geneva convention code. He had to watch his friends getting their heads blown to pieces, and worst case was his best friend who was in a trench and a bullet caught the underside of his helmet and literally scalped him. He bled to death in my grandfather's arms.
So you see, when some one comes over here to reap the rewards and has the gall to complain about it and our freedoms* then it pi**es me the f**k off. Can you understand that?
*we are not a muslim country and are lucky enough to be able to do whatever we want (within the law) whenever we want. We can leave our home at 3am and go to a petrol station and buy a pack of cigs. We can swear, drop trash and etc without being stoned or whipped and so on. We do not live under a dictator. Why? because of men like my grandfather.
So I really, REALLY don't like seeing people complain about it. Without us we'd all be speaking German and have very different lives, and trust me, FAR more to complain about.
Oh, do feel free to read back and see how many times I have actually said "FML" - that would be none. I think it's a terribly ungrateful frame of mind to be in where you can even take your life for granted.
I sure can. I understand that you are aggravating yourself with that mindset, and that doesn't do you any good. If you want to get pi$$ed off reading comments on the internet, go right ahead, but that behaviour will only add misery and negativity to your life. But hey, it's your life. Knock yourself out. We all have differing viewpoints.
EDIT: oh so you DO realize you're in the FML thread. If this stuff bugs you, unsub from the thread man, since it's a thread made explicitly TO bitch about bad things happening in life.

There is the saying "Better out than in". That goes for everything, not just a bad pint
I don't mind seeing people vent. In fact, I laud it. What I don't like is people taking things for granted.
When I was 6 my nan died. Me and my bro found her dead on the bathroom floor (well, we didn't see her thank god because we couldn't get in).
When I was 7 my father died.
When I was 8 I got ran down by a car, breaking almost one of each body part (right arm, left femur, skull, vertebrae etc)
Then when I reach 13 I found out I am bipolar.
Do you know what my mother always said to me? "Stop moaning, there are people far worse off than you are". I didn't listen to her. How could it be worse?
Yeah, see I get that one now. Only a few years ago, mind, but I get it. I totally get it.
Mostly through watching documentaries about Hitler, WW2, his treatment of the Jews and the continued bombing of the UK where countless people lost their lives. Kids being blown to pieces and so on.
And you know something? I never, EVER once heard either my nana or my grandad complain. In fact, we only extracted partial information out of him under duress, because we continually asked him about his experiences. And he never told me, only my older brother.
They had f**k all. They lived in a council house and my grandad worked for the council. He worked at a waste depot, IIRC. A real crap job (literally) yet he was always positive and always tried his best. He worked his ass into the ground.
As I said, I don't mind venting, but some of the people I see complaining day in day out really need to experience some real, deep s**t. Maybe then they wouldn't be so quick to complain.
I did not share my experience with my ex earlier on today to moan and complain. I had already swallowed it, lost the sleep, then moved on. It was just an example of how life can suck and how you just gotta suck it up and get the hell on with it.

That could only hold true if I went on about what other people on this forum think or do, Which I don't, What other people think or do outside of my own life is none of my business and I honestly couldn't care less.
