How do you get over ex Marrying?

I saw the girl who was my only semi long-term relationship got married after a year of dating.

I cared about her a lot, more than a should of though at least part of that was due to her being one of the few women actually liked me(for a while anyway).

It's kind of fucked me up.

The only way to get over your ex's is to live your life understanding that a woman's role in your life is to be a companion, not the priority mission. That you allowed yourself to remain aware of goings on in her life while living yours after the breakup is messed up in a masochistic way. When you split with someone, whether they cut ties with you, or you cut ties with them, you should at some point accept that it's over and move on with your life. That's not something you can easily do if you keep things that she gave you around your home, or take her phone calls. Even harder to do if she's still on your social media contacts. Doubly so, if you didn't drop any of her friends from your contacts when the relationship ended.

She moved on a while ago, it's long overdue you do the same.

After you've taken the time to remove those reminders from your life, consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

Is a tattoo a red flag even if the tattoo is for you?

Does a tattoo always mean that a woman is bad or is secretly a slut or untrustworthy? What if there is only one tattoo and it is your name (this is the situation with my GF)? Does it show that the woman is unstable and impulsive, or is such a permanent decision a sign that she is totally devoted to you? Or does it show that she is trying desperate measures to try to save a relationship that is doomed to fail?

If I am obliged to answer my own question, I would say that any of the above might be true depending on the situation, but still invite the insight of the other men.

Study the book and come back when you're actually more comfortable discussing this. If a chick you're involved with is looking to get your name tattooed on her body, I can really only say two things. First, kudos to you. Whatever you're doing with her to get her that interested, keep doing it. Second, ask her why she wants your name on her skin before she commits. I had an artist girlfriend who wanted to get my name tattooed on herself. I'd rather a chick have other things to remember me by, so I talked her into joining a drawing class hosted at an arts center I was involved with instead which led to her getting a part-time job assisting a pottery instructor.

Does TRP have an answer to the legacy/children question?

TRP is focused on the intersexual dynamics aspect, but I haven't ever seen a solid approach on how to have kids which has been the goal since the dawn of time until recent history. Most in TRP are understandably against marriage, or having a kid with a woman, because after all men don't have the same infrastructures and rights to keep their women in check and family together. But if you really want to have kids then whats the approach?

The only thing close to an answer I've read, is the idea of surrogacy overseas where its cheaper, but its still very expensive per child, legally convoluted, and most likely robbing the child of a mother. Moving overseas to find a wife to impregnate isn't it either, I don't want my kids to be growing up as third worlders.

Here's an article that touched on a proposed artificial womb development I shared a few years ago. While the youtube video has since gone private, here's an alt link if the text piques your interest. I expect the technology was already being refined for mass production years before the video was posted.

Outside of the the constant public derision of psychotic females on the forum, we don't often discuss anything that doesn't explicitly help guys understand how to get laid more than once, or twice a year. While chicks may have their baggage, so do a lot of guys.

@Hugo_The_Great

just so you know:

1) the guy you're replying to spams that same stupid book with the same copied + pasted screed to every single question

2) almost every active user here has him blocked and/or is blocked by him

3) he's most likely a virgin, and therefore has no experience or knowledge of what works or doesn't.

Now that my copied + pasted screed is done, I'll reply to a few things you've said.

a woman's interest level is everything

Yes, don't waste your time trying to win over a woman who has already decided "no".

Just haven't been able to find a woman that was everything I'm looking for as a life partner for now.

1) as a man, a relationship isn't your goal. That's a woman's worry and job. Your goal is to get sex. You can certainly be open to the possibility of granting a worthy woman (if you ever find one) a relationship, if she earns it. But making a relationship your goal will fuck things up for you.

2) "partner"? See the pic.
