Two divorces, destroyed him mentally.

He was never the same, honestly.

Yeah, and it's hard for a lot of guys to really navigate back into the sexual marketplace and have a productive relationship that actually works for them.

That's kind of what I did.

I got divorced when I was 39.

And I didn't really understand why I had a problem with women over the longterm.

The attraction component was never an issue for me.

They were, you know, the contempt would accelerate and contempt is a clock that ticks down to the end of all relationships.

Once you start getting contempt from a girlfriend or a wife, like it's pretty much done at that point.

Yeah, it was a struggle for him.

I can definitely relate to that.

I mean, especially at that age, the dating pool is kind of limited if you're still single as a woman in your 40s and 50s.
