M,

Sorry you’re struggling man we started this journey at the same time. I think this board sometimes does a disservice of not allowing people to move forward. I’m convinced now that LBS are not plan B but are more like plan k. It’s never about the OP. It’s about blowing up the life they had because it was unfulfilling for whatever reason. It’s not some temporary fog. I think that’s the money grab for MWDs book and services.

Have you considered dating it’s been awhile for you? It’s a game changer when you realize that there is a lot of great women out there that really want what you have to offer.
