As I amble my way through my thirties, I am meeting more and more divorced men. I shouldn't be surprised, lots of marriages break apart nowadays, and men are often one half of a marriage. All of them cut a troubling figure. Hangdog posture, middle distance stares, attempting to engage in boring conversations that barely conceal the wealth of pain squirming behind their sunken, dying eyes. They ramble on about their plans: exercise, education, “getting it together,” they ramble on about how children need their fathers, extol you on the hatefulness of the family court system, insist that whatever new relationship they’re currently in is destined to succeed, even though they are still the same person they were six months ago.
