How can I stop being unpredictable and rebuild trust with my wife? Lately, I've been called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You know, I need to be a dad.

I think we're in a world where everybody just talks at everybody all the time. most of the time we know what the next right step is. It's just hard to make it, or just, we got 50 different options and choices and opinions and just need someone to sit with us. So that's what this show is about, man.
Me sitting with hurting people, trying to figure out what's the next right move.

Chapter 2: What steps can I take to improve my emotional health?
Well, she says it's been a long time and I'm just now starting to kind of realize it I finally started going to you know to a doctor therapy and things like that and I've just come to realize that I to me I really only have pretty much two emotions I'm either angry or upset or I'm just laid back and I don't
I don't know how to change it where my kids will come to me and I can, you know, I need to be a dad. Yeah. You know.
Can I just, can I like, man, if you were here, I'd stop what we're doing and I'd give you a hug. And I know that you might bristle at that at first, but what you're saying is real heavy and there's millions and millions of dads in your exact spot. What you're saying out loud is hard, and I'm proud of you. It's a courageous thing you're doing, okay?
Yeah, it is.
Now, here's the challenge you have. You don't trust you either. You don't come to you with the truth about what you feel about certain things. You anger it away, you rage it away, or you numb it out. You football game it away.
and so what you're asking your kids to do and your wife to do is something that you won't even do and so instead of trying to fix some things so that your kids will come to you I want to turn off that nuclear reactor that's in your chest because somehow you woke up how old are you 36 you woke up at 36 and you don't like the life you live why
All the things you're saying, tell me if I'm out to lunch, man, because I could be way off. Is a guy who's just so tired. Yes. But you're tired because you've been at war inside your own chest for so long. You don't think you make enough money. You don't like the job that you do.
You don't like that you don't show up for your wife, but you don't have any tools in your toolkit, so you just get madder and louder about it, and it makes it work, right? Oh, yeah. Your friends have all gone off to do stupid stuff. Alabama sucked this year. All of it, right? It's all in the middle of your chest, right? Definitely. Where does that come from, man?
How long have you not liked the skin that you're in, your life? You only get one, dude. You only get one, and you're like more than a third over.

Chapter 3: How can I address childhood issues affecting my adult life?
But that only came from us having a conversation where she said, I feel like every time you make a joke, you're kind of pointing it out. And I was like, oh my gosh, dude, I'm a walking train wreck. Like, no, spend all of it. Like you keep the lights on here, right? I do. But I mean, that's just us having that story.
Yeah.
Awesome. Yeah. And can I just tell you one last thing?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think your marriage is stronger than you think it is right now.
Yeah.
I think I've got it. It sounds like I got a husband who's working really hard for his family and I have a wife who loves this guy and y'all are just, he slowly started speaking Spanish and you've slowly started speaking Greek and you'll just need to make a commitment to start speaking the same language again.
Thank you for that.
Is that cool?
