I decided months ago to pivot my content away from politics and into philosophy and relationship dynamics. The reason for my pivot is fourfold:
- I think relationships in the Western world are in a crisis, especially amongst young people. I want to do what I can, in some small way, to put good advice, guidance, and ideas out there in the hopes that it reaches someone who may benefit from it.
- I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren. They have to navigate these increasingly complex and difficult relationship dynamics.
- I want to counter, albeit in only a small way, the egregiously bad relationship advice that is out there. The so-called manosphere and modern feminism aren’t doing men and women any favors.
- I believe a lot of our political problems are the result of the aforementioned relationship crisis in the Western world.
I’m not under any delusions. I realize the readership of this blog is minuscule. However, this blog is as much about being a catharsis for me personally as it is about putting my thoughts on things out into the world.
This post is also an introduction into a series of posts that will comment on the causes, consequences, and dynamics of infidelity/cheating. Cheating does damage not just to the partners and the betrayed partner(s) in an illicit affair, but to the children, family members, and friends on both sides of an affair.
There is a lot of misinformation and ignorance on this subject out there that I want to debunk in my own small way.
If I only reach one person who benefits from reading this series of posts, I consider that a success.
Happy reading!
