Do they ever regret it?

[hallsofharmony]

I have read so many sad posts on here lately about men turning misogynistic towards their wives, treating them appallingly due to a hatred of feminism.
Most of these women have been advised to leave and said they intend to.
Do these men realise what they have lost?
Do they actually care that their beliefs and behaviour have resulted in their wife having enough and walking away,
losing their family or do you think they carry on thinking the same thing knowing what they have been reading or listening to has cost them?

Who knows? There is no such thing as 'men' - every one is different and has different reasons for behaving the way they do. I am sure some regret it. I am sure that some double down and take their wife leaving as proving their point.

The men I know who this have happened to have become worse not better because they add a big dollop of bitterness to their other ugly traits. They crawl around dating sites and pubs regaling other unfortunate women with tales of how their ex did them wrong, then when the women aren't thrilled by this, decide all women are bitter man haters, and their misogyny grows like fungus.

Sounds about right^^

Men who are misogynistic don't usually blame themselves when their wives split up with them. That's wimminz fault along with everything else.

Plenty of men behave badly, whether it’s misogyny or other types of poor behaviour leading to the end of a relationship.
To acknowledge their behaviour, take accountability and choose to behave differently is usually a step too far, and too much like hard work. So yes in my experience they justify the split to themselves by blaming the ex partner and take whatever is the easiest route to move on. Then do the same to the next partner, and the next.

Can you link to some of these threads? Because I haven't seen anything like this on here.

Nag probably not, my dad moaned for years about my mum “kicking him out” conveniently forgetting the tears of emotional & verbal abuse, pushing her down the stairs & ripping a load of her hair out.

There used to be a man on my road who used to tell us how awful he was to his wife- he said he’d shrug at her daily and not really answer her because he was so into his work. She died really young and he always told us, as in for over a decade or two after. He aged really quickly, never married again, I think he’s really active in helping his kids and grandkids out though

I've read on here that "everyone's the hero in their own [life] story"

And i think that's brilliant.
It's easier to blame someone or multiple someones rather than look long and hard at yourself

I have read so many sad posts on here lately about men turning misogynistic towards their wives, treating them appallingly due to a hatred of feminism.

I'm a bit confused by this OP.

There are unfortunately many, many threads on MN about men behaving appallingly towards their wives, partners and girlfriends.

But these men don't "turn" misogynistic. They are misogynistic to start off with. Unfortunately a lot of them mask it until the woman in their life is under their control, or particularly vulnerable - pregnant, just gave birth, physically ill etc.
Then their true self shines through.

They might briefly regret losing the services the woman gave them if she has tfe strength to leave him but not their own actions. I'm sure most of them just move on to the next woman and repeat their behaviour with them.

As Germaine said…

Never heard that one but wow. Yeah.
I'd have to say that there's a lot of truth to that.

and are men allowed to have issues with their female partners or is it all one sided? isnt relationships a 2 way thing?

We hear about the collective 'men' and how awful they are but women are not all saints

So do women regret their behaviour? how many posters on here complain about their own childhood and their mother issues, what about the wicked stepmother or new partner?, then we have the dreaded MIL and SIL complaints, what about the 'bitchy school mums' and dreaded colleagues?
