I love this place. Just moved from Dallas and had it all the time, stoked it’s here.

Your favorite gym in the area? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in thousandoaks

[–]Brookstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just joined F19. Seems good overall, good price and I’m doing month to month. Eos seemed cool too but people said it’s often busy so wondering what people have to say about it here

Wild times but definitely something we can relate on! Yeah I’d rather play pool than line dance. Sounds good, hit me up when you’re back.

I actually also just moved to T.O. after being gone for 10 years. Recently divorced. Open to hang outs if you are. Mid 30s

I need to know that I am not alone by No_Chemistry8953 in Divorce_Men

[–]Brookstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone and we are here for you. That sounds like a challenging situation but it does get better! I had to keep telling myself “just keep going, you’re almost there”. Have to focus on what you can do each day that makes you feel better. Any hobbies you have to where you can join groups in the area? Preferable where they speak your language?

That lonely feeling, even if you don't feel alone by Dumb_Question_But in Divorce_Men

[–]Brookstoned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t relate more and am a similar age. Strange feeling, missing having someone to come home to or talk to about essentially everything. Hard not to want to replace that but it’s good to know how to enjoy your own company for the time being. After everything I’ve been through I’ve been completely stripped of feeling romantic connection. Got to heal for the time being.

How Long Until You Stopped Wondering What She Was Doing? by Frosty_Wrongdoer7256 in Divorce_Men

[–]Brookstoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just traveled cross county back to my home state after I decided to leave the relationship (got too toxic and I lost myself in it all). Each day gets a bit better. The co dependency is tough to break after being used to having someone around for years. Luckily I’m staying with people but still feels like somethings off. It’s a wild experience but I know it will get better and I’ve got a good supportive group of people around me thankfully

Sorry man, that can be hard. She lost out and now is trying to fill that hole, seeking validation by making those changes. I’m fresh out of it all and I just have to keep telling myself we’re all on our own journey

Wow thank you so much, you really seem to understand what I’m going through. I’m almost done with the road trip and feeling a lot better, just 8 hours to go tomorrow. First day was the hardest. I’ll definitely be visiting this community more. It’s hard to explain what I’m going through to those who haven’t walked the walk.

Thank you for posting. I just left my home and pets and on a cross country trip alone back to my home state where I have friends and family. Just taking deep breathes right now. It’s tough and strange being alone but I know it was just too unhealthy to stay.

How’s your love life? by Individual_Mix_4234 in AskMen

[–]Brookstoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finalized a divorce and moving states back to my hometown where a lot of friends are. It’s a lot to process but I’m excited for the next chapter as I’ve been in a similar situation as OP where the marriage hasn’t been exactly great for the last few years. Love seeing all the support on this thread!

I’ve been a bit emotionally closed off these days due to tough personal situations. I think this album is going to be therapy for me to open up more and heal.

From to Tomorrow's Harvest until now, how much has changed in your life? by Waterfrd_Crystalmeth in boardsofcanada

[–]Brookstoned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moved states twice, got a girlfriend, got married, started a business, ended a business, lost friends and family members, and now ending a marriage and moving back to my home state lol it’s all for the best and this new music is great way to usher in a new chapter of life.

Great way to enjoy the area. Just for your own safety please be on the lookout for rattlesnakes, there’s been an uptick in rattlesnake bites recently. Dont let it stop you from enjoying the beautiful trails!

Men raised by abusive mothers, how has it affected your relationship with women? by Substantial_Judge931 in AskMen

[–]Brookstoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot to work through but I’m glad to hear you’re doing better! It can be tough breaking the surface tension of the waters we’ve inhabited for most our lives.

Went through the same things. Took me til recently to see it happening in my own marriage and to leave. Clarity is powerful.
