She's not pulling away because you're too much. She's pulling away because you're absent. The man she fell for is buried beneath the man you've become.

Most men don’t fall apart in one blow.
They erode—quietly, completely—inside the life they were told to want.

Chris Goguen had the stable government job. A pensioned path. A marriage. A community.
On paper, he was set.

You built the life. The business. The bank account. The image.

But at 2 AM, with no one around to impress, it hits you: This can't be it…

You ever feel like you’ve done everything right—but still feel like something’s missing?

I know that feeling. I built the career. Had the relationship. Hit the targets. And still? Hollow. Like I was reciting a script written by someone who didn’t give a damn about my soul.

Two-thirds of men under 30 are single. Most don’t want to be.

Let that sink in.
