Is there more strength and power in a man leaving than staying?

ill say this: it isn’t easy staying :manny:
Not at all. As a man who had to leave a situation he knew he was completely and always would be unhappy in as long as you are taking care of your children do what is best for you. Don't stick around with some woman who drives you crazy because all you will do is lose yourself and become miserable and then she'll blame you anyway when she leaves saying you fukked up the relationship. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't as a man.

Many men are trapped financially or career-wise.

A divorce would seemingly, nearly ruin them.

You can survive.

Honestly, the best bet is to plan your escape slowly, deliberately, and discreetly.

Restructure your debt and credit. Talk to a financial advisor that specializes in divorce.

Ensure you can survive the inevitable.

Get a new phone.

Purge your socials.

Add only non-mutual friends to new contacts.

Get a p.o. box

Have a safe peaceful place that you can survive without contacting her.

Stay single until the divorce is complete.

Take care of yourself health wise. Eat!

Work out!

Leaving when you have your resources in tact along with not crying like a bítch on your way out is more powerful than staying.

Sometimes you gotta know when to walk away — even if you built the shít around you. The great Steve Jobs got kicked out of his own company and had to walk away. He started a new company and took over another (Pixar) and made it what it is today. Then his old bítch (Apple) came back begging. He returned, cleaned house and 12 years after he died folks are still on his nuts.




Man if somebody kicked me out of my own company... whoo... That's all Imma say :whew:

Steve had no defense.

He was so thirst to get investors in Apple back in the day that you could buy shares at 80s crack prices.

Some shaking business decisions and product launches had the company damn near on life support and Steve was acting like 1995 Suge. The board bossed up and fired his ass and got the Pepsi CEO to replace him.

He got the last laugh and came back like Ari after buying his old agency

Depends on the situation.

I don't get the fascination with the hood. I got family from rough neighborhoods zero appeal to me. Go ahead and call me a square, I like coming home to no bullshyt.

People need to fight for marriages normally, put in the effort not just bail out at the first rough patch. Now, Jada must have some kind of severance package if they divorce. Staying married at this point is like a pettiness battle.

That familiarity thing is truth. Michelle Obama gets WAAAY outta pocket with talking about Barack. They had to sit her down beginning of his presidency and tell her to stfu.

Leaving a job is a tough one because it's the devil you know situation.

Overall people need to get comfortable being uncomfortable as Mike Tomlin said

Personally I try to think in term of time frames

I do one month for every year invested if i am catching an early trend, down to a week per year with a one month minimum if I'm late to realize

If the VP came to and said ot,, you been fukking up and I'm tired of covering up for you
I can't protect you anymore
I would think I've been in for 8 years, that would usually mean I've got eight months to turn it around
Yet I am caught off guard
cause it sounds like it has already BEEN bad for 8+months, so I would only allow a week per year or a limit of eight weeks to turn it around

I would ask myself - do I have any moves , tactics or strategies to fix things in 2 months??
If yes, go for it
If honestly no, or my plan would take longer than the time frame, I resign and move on

That's Why they fire NBA and NFL coaches
A new guy can fix it faster than the old guy who has lost traction or momentum

So marriages...if I am married for 10 years and realize it has been not to my liking for the last four months, I would start taking action and give it six more months

By putting a Time limit on things, I focus myself and work my plan
I am capable or massive actuon over 1-6 months
Or, if I know I don't have a plan, then I can bow out knowing I did what I could or there was nothing left to do

I think it is super easy to stay in a situation with no plan, or to walk off immediately without reflecting to try to create one
Life doesn't sit there and wait while you do a three year martyr grind trying to fix a 4 year situation that has been bad for the last 2 years
