For years I blamed my wife for our shitty marriage. She was cold, hurtful, distant and oh so critical of me. And then one day she told me it was over. It hit me like a brick in the face. I mean, I kind of knew, but I never excpected her to do it. I was devastated. But as I began to look back on my past I saw a pattern. A string of failed relationships, all ending with her being cold, distant and critical. The only linking factor…. Me. Perhaps I needed to take a good long hard look at myself. I asked myself what would it be like to be in a relationship with me?? And to be honest, I thought it would be pretty shit. I was always tired, in a bad mood. I was always withdrawn into myself, caught up in my own head. I was never happy. My mind was a dark hole, full of negativity and bullshit. Maybe I ended up driving relationships away because I was such a grumpy and withdrawn guy. So I went about changing it. I left to be on my own, to work it out. And now things are so much better. I’m happier, healthier. I actually fucking smile now. My relationship has improved and my kids are calmer. All because dad got better. Gents. Never underestimate how influential YOU are in your family’s life. The better you are, the better they are. #modernwarriorbrotherhood #digitalagedad #newgame
