Most men don’t choose isolation.
It happens quietly—inside commitment.

As relationships deepen, friendships often fade and community shrinks.
And before we realize it, our partner becomes the only place we go with our wins, our losses, our fear, our collapse.

That’s not romance.
That’s too much weight for one relationship to carry.

In this episode, I share the moment I stumbled my way into a men’s circle... and how it changed everything.

Because I needed a council.
A place where I could speak without being fixed.
Where I could fall apart without burdening my relationship.
Where other men were committed—not to advice—but to presence.

Your partner shouldn’t have to be your entire support system.
And you shouldn’t have to carry everything alone.

If you’ve ever felt lonely inside a committed relationship, this episode is for you.
