A little under nine years ago, I started this blog as both means in which to connect with other divorced men, as well as soapbox from which I could vent about my own struggles, as well as share my accomplishments.

In many respects, things have come full circle for me in those nine years. Im older and wiser now. I’m 47 and I now have two failed long-term relationships in my rear-view mirror. That has made me more jaded about relationships than I have ever been my life.
