Hello everyone, I'm not an extreme red piller, but I increasingly see the problems women can cause. My story is quite simple: I've always had a clear mission. Find a good relationship and start a family. That's been my mission for a long time (since I was 20). I'm now 33 years old.

In my 20s, I spent a few years fucking as many women as I could, but at some point (in my late 20s), I wanted to dedicate myself to my mission. I found a hot girlfriend who seemed nice and sweet at the time, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the last five years, she has occasionally turned into a narcissistic drama queen. Manipulation, trying to squeeze money out of me, lies about her own family background, skillfully withholding sex, trouble at work, and so on. I'm actually getting very little out of this, but we're married and have a large part of our finances together. By the way, she is 30 years old.

Now my question, which I ask out of desperation, is: What's my next move? I really want to have a family and feel that if I start having children with her, I can at least partially fulfill my life's mission. Then I can always dump her in a few years and take on a large part of the parenting myself. For fatherhood, there don't seem to be many other options. It would mean years of investment and trouble again, with the question of whether the new partner would even want children.

Additionally, having children could shift the power balance (which has been too much in her favor in recent years) back in my favor, allowing me to demand more in the relationship.

It seems that breaking all ties would set me back to square one. No kids, huge financial losses, years of trouble, and nothing to show for it. Am I thinking wrongly, or is it actually a smart move to have kids and pull the plug in a few years?
