I'm his best man. (self.MGTOW)

forgetmarriage が 投稿

A few months ago, my friend of 22 years told me he was getting married. I was mid sip of some V8 when he told me. I calmly put my drink down and told him "i'm happy for you, but you know how I feel about marriage"

I've known my friend, lets call him Alex, for ever. We grew up together and have been friends through the good and bad. I've always known him as the player, he won the "biggest flirt" superlative in his high school. He's a stoic man, who has control of his life, or so I thought.

He soon proposed a few weeks after he told me. I have to admit, his fiance is pretty cool. She doesn't keep him on a short leash, afaik. The problem is, literally the day after he got engaged, she found out she has HIV. She supposedly got it from her boyfriend 5 years ago, who a bisexual bottom. He told me only just about a month ago. I feel bad for him. Alex is now stuck with a women who he can barely touch.

To add to the that, the fiance is a professional dancer. She hasn't worked in the past few months. They just started renting a house together, but I'm not sure who's name is on the lease. Her body is going to get weaker and weaker, and she will be underemployed for the rest of her life. Adding onto the burden of expensive HIV medicine. Today, Alex tells me hes going to start getting lawn care equipment so he can work moonlight and weekends, to "[pay] for personal use toys". He's always enjoyed working in gardens and doing work outside, but I feel like he's just trying to become the provider society expects him to be. He's a PC gamer, just like me and he wants some newer equipment. But, he just came home at 8pm and can't use his own TV(which i hooked up to his pc) because his fiance is using the TV to watch some female comedian crack jokes about anal sex.

Once that marriage is finalized, I doubt i'll be hearing about the next video card he wants to get. And more about how much of his money his wife spends and how she hasn't been looking for any kind of employment. He's signing his life to a women he can barely have sex with, and working to afford a house for himself and her. I don't think he realizes the shitstorm hes about to get into.

He's a great friend, and I don't know what to say to him. His fiance has been pretty okay so far, but we all know AWALT still applies. I doubt this good behavior of her's will last forever. I can already see the writing on the walls. Especially in terms of finances.

I'm just ranting at the moment, but I feel like I'm going to lose my best friend for the next 5-10 years, until the divorce rolls around and he gets kicked out of his own home.
