So don't be with that woman. Yeah, so a lot of men, we, see, we're changing for the wrong reasons. When I made the journey into comprehensive manhood, I had to change for myself. One moment, I'll never forget, my wife and I, we were in the car, we were arguing, and this was when I was learning how to become a verbal processor, how to express what I'm feeling without yelling or hitting things.
So you used to be what, a suppressor or angry? Passive aggressive.
So you used to be what, a suppressor or angry? Passive aggressive.
You know, I would come off calm and next thing you know, boom, I would lose. Really? Yeah. Oh, real quick. So she wasn't used to a man, any man in her life being able to articulate what he's thinking or what he's feeling with composure. With calm. Yeah, composure.
You know, I would come off calm and next thing you know, boom, I would lose. Really? Yeah. Oh, real quick. So she wasn't used to a man, any man in her life being able to articulate what he's thinking or what he's feeling with composure. With calm. Yeah, composure.
From a man. Because typically, what? We have to be what? Only masculine. Exuding attributes of strength, boldness, and aggression. So I chose to be comprehensive that moment in the car. She gets out the car. looks at me and says, you're the most emotional man I ever met. And boom, slams the car door and walks into the grocery store.

Yeah, seriously.
Yeah, seriously.
To be shamed for your emotions. Yeah, it was very devastating. I got very angry, which I call is the surface emotion for men. You know, it's the emotion we can go to the fastest without going and digging deeper to what we're really feeling. So what were you really feeling? I was hurt. Yeah. Okay, here it is. I'm trying to become a better man. I knew I was, as a father, just discipline only driven.

I'm trying to become a better man. I knew I was, as a father, just discipline only driven.
I wasn't there emotionally for my daughter during the year. She needed a lover more so than a disciplinarian. And she didn't feel that she was the apple of my eye, yet the worm in the apple. And so here it is as a man, I'm doing this hard work. I'm sitting in this car. Trying to evolve. Yeah, and I'm saying, you know what? I'm going to go back to being this demonstrative, quick-tempered.

Peasant aggressive. Yeah, husband. And in that moment, I realized, like, wait a minute. I'm doing this for me, not you. As a byproduct, you'll benefit and the children will benefit. But I need to do it for me because as soon as you don't appreciate my effort, I'm going to digress back into that mental cell. That was a pivotal moment in my journey. Wow.

Life wasn't worth living, man, just to be real with you. I compare it to, you know, the box of eight crayons you'll see, and then you have the box of 64. As men, we tend to gravitate towards the box of eight. And so I compare those crayons to emotions. And out of the eight, we may use four of them.

But women have access to 64, and we do too, but their entire life they've been affirmed in expressing those emotions. So then when it comes to communication between man and woman, she is requesting violet, but all you have is purple. So you can't even meet the moment there. And also instead of, even in relationships with men, If a man offends me, I don't just go to anger.
