@new.man.codes: Every man in the midlife tunnel will have a F*ck You moment. You’ve either had it, you’re going through it now, or it’s coming. You know the one. 6:13 a.m. Thursday morning. Same alarm. Same coffee. Same commute. But something inside you says: “I can’t do this anymore.” Your life is not necessarily bad. It´s just somewhere along the way, you stopped asking whether it was actually your life. The Midlife Tunnel amplifies that feeling. And suddenly, the questions you’ve avoided start getting louder: → The relationship you’ve been tolerating → The career you’ve outgrown → The friendships that drain you → Every “yes” when you really mean “no” → The version of yourself built around keeping everyone comfortable → The dreams you buried because responsibility felt safer The F*ck You moment isn’t the problem. It’s the wake-up call. The danger is wasting it. Numbing it with Netflix, work, alcohol, scrolling or simply staying busy enough that you never have to hear yourself think. Your needs matter. Your peace matters. And the life you build after 40 doesn’t have to repeat the life you built before it. The battles you refuse to face don’t disappear. They become the patterns your kids inherit. Your silence becomes their normal. Your avoidance becomes their blueprint. This isn’t about blowing up your life. It’s about waking up inside it and finding the courage to change what needs changing. No one can walk the tunnel for you. But you’ll walk it a lot quicker with the right tools and support. That’s why I built The New Man Codes. Because knowing what needs to change and actually changing it are two very different things. If your courage fire is already burning, book a call, the link´s in bio. #FatherWound #MensWork #GroundedMasculine #MensMentalHealth #USA

The feeling that everyone wants something from you, all of the time, it's relentless

Any sane person goes through this in life. Age changes priorities, and makes one reflect more. Based usually on not being appreciated. Equally, seeing his nearest and dearest disrespect him. After all life starts at 40!

Bells Palsy hit me last year, my body was yelling at me to fucking stop what I was doing. I listened and have never been happier even though I’ve only regained 50% of what the bells took.

I went to a remote area in Bali regularly for 10 years and bloody loved it. Told everyone to fuck off and stopped calling people who didn’t call me. 70+ now and don’t have any obligatory functions to attend. People know it and they know how to contact me if they want to. Wife and dog doing well and Im a free man. Bali thank you, love you. You changed my life.

you reach that age where you look back and think, what do i have to show for all of it? tired of tolerating, of having to always explain yourself, to always be agreeable even when you're not, brushing off the disrespect and little jabs... you look back and say I want off... you feel checked out, and nothing matters
