What Is DMS?
DMS is similar to battle fatigue. It is the pitiful state of mind that a man can suffer while attempting to endure the indignities of a long drawn-out divorce process. DMS can drain a man's will to go on. DMS can squeeze the juice out of a man's balls. DMS can make a man feel like a worthless piece of something he picks up with a baggy when taking his rottweiler for an evening walk.
Divorced Men's Syndrome is not a pretty sight. It can drive a man to drink... make him crazy as a cockroach, and as emotional as the scurvy bitch that's doing him in.
DMS can ruin a man's business, his golf game and his social life. It can preoccupy a man's mind so much that he is unable to talk about anything but his divorce. It can make a man a complete pain the ass to even the guys he trusts enough to let 'em light his farts.
Men can suffer intensely from DMS throughout the divorce process and have flashbacks for the rest of their lives. Former Viet Nam vets have seriously compared DMS to their experiences as prisoners of war.
DMS is the enemy. And there is only one way to beat it. Don't get it.
Defending Against DMS
The way not to get DMS is to make the decision not to enter into a long drawn-out conflict with your wife and the American judicial system. Once you decide not to put yourself through the Chinese water torture, not to die the death of a thousand cuts, not to play by their rules... once you've done that, you've got a shot at being okay.
When you've made the decision to win what you can win, and to cut your losses on what you can't retain, you'll save yourself from a fate you wouldn't wish on anyone but parasitic scum like divorce attorneys.
Using DMS To Your Advantage
If you acquire a severe case of DMS, what can you do? Well, you can suffer. You can drink and listen to country music. Or you can turn this sorry state to your advantage.
Go Nuts!
It is unfortunately true that in many of divorce cases, the first person to get unreasonable gets the upper hand.
Women often use PMS as an excuse to go nuts, and in doing so take a mortar position on Psycho Hill that lets them, with impunity, rain down verbal devastation on the poor husband. Even judges have been known to shake their heads sadly as the female rants on. But this often works to the woman's advantage. The old adage of smoke and fire may convince the judge that you must have done something terrible to drive her to such a state and to cause her to be so vindictive.
Using DMS as an excuse, you can go nuts first. Your outrageous antics in and out of court can help you dig yourself into a very defensible position on Psycho Hill. Even an abuse-screaming PMSer won't be able to dislodge you without taking some hits herself.
DMS Debilitation
Her attorney knows that a man in the midst of DMS can be easy prey. And it's easier for a buzzardly lawyer to nip the eyes out of a lethargic cripple than a man who will fight back. Her carrion craving legal eagle will circle above you looking for signs that you are giving up. He will try to frustrate you more and more, to stretch out the process, and to make you so angry for so long that you can't sustain your anger anymore. When you fall into depression, they will pounce.
Never show the downside depression that DMS puts on you. Never show weakness. Show only your manic fanatical desire to see them burning in the pits of hell reserved for lawyers and greedy ex-wives. More
