Hey all. So I've come across a situation with a friend and I'm at a roadblock of how to help him or what advice to offer him. A little history on my friend: he's in his late 20's and has been with his girlfriend for 8 years (yup) with only a minor less than a month long breakup or two within all that time. His girlfriend is about 2 years younger and from the times I've met her, she hasn't really given me any red flags to point out to my friend.

So he claims that she's loyal to him, they talk all day, he trusts her, yadda yadda yadda. Recently he's asked me about and has taken an interest to TRP and MGTOW. He's been reading a lot about it's theories, other men's experiences, and just how fucked it is out there for most oblivious men.

He came back to me yesterday and said that after spending some time taking all of this in and reassessing his life situation, he's become disheartened with his relationship, despite numerous years of dating this girl. For him, it has exposed a harsh reality most guys are either oblivious to or choose to ignore.

As far as we know, she hasn't done anything to warrant breaking up with her or ending things abruptly, but he feels as though it is inevitable that regardless of how long they have been together she will eventually revert to her natural womanly desires and cheat/find a Chad/ take half his shit if they marry/ keep him from seeing any children they have.

So now I ask, being that he's dated her for so long and doesn't have an immediate reason to end things, but is skeptical about wasting his time any longer to wait out the inevitable, what should he do? Should he really drop her now based on what he perceives will happen, and is it really better to just go back into the dating world with all the horrible slutty entitled cupcakes social media has created? Or should he stay with this girl and work things out UNTIL red flags start to show, not knowing if they ever will?
