He's only 35 but talks a lot about how young he was to have kids, missed his 20's etc. He got a bunch of guy friends from an MMA gym that he goes to in the last couple of years, and I would say that's when things got rockier... some are 20 somethings, divorced with older kids so have a lot of freedom, or childless...
