That’s difficult man, sorry to hear about those challenges. As I mentioned before sadly I have the same challenges myself. I would like to think that it’s perhaps the state of the world right now where people are aggressive and fight a lot, not sure exactly. I do know that after years of being on the outside of my friend group, I may have inadvertently found a friend from a place I used to work, a coworkers husband. I’ve been chatting with him for a few weeks now and it’s great to just have a conversation about things that isn’t with my wife, as great as she is, it’s not the same as with a friend.

In any case though, I think you just have to keep your chin up and stay strong. Being a man in these days is difficult as hell with the intentional forces out there to break us down and destroy us.

Have you considered trying to join a church or something? I know religion isn’t for some these days but there’s a lot of community around it if you find the right one and can be a good thing. Just a thought!
