Having kids and raising them is your primary purpose as a man. Anything else you spend your time on is secondary to that.

You’re absolutely 100% correct.
As a mid-fourties family-less man, I absolutely regret many of the decisions I’ve made that got me here.
I’ve realised I’ve been playing at a low steaks table. Smashing box and doing drugs is something a guy should do very briefly, if at all, in his early twenties. This is not a Man’s Game.
Then he’d better man up and focus on what is Good and Right or his life will be a fucking waste.
I mean even just purely selfishly, being frail-aged and having no one who genuine cares about me is fucking terrifying.

Damn, that’s heavy man. I’m sorry. I don’t know your situation but men are fortunate enough to be able to reproduce later in life so you could still turn it around.
I had my first kid accidentally in college and dropped out to focus on that. Very grateful for it.

I also had a vasectomy about seven years ago, which are notoriously difficult to reverse.

Good man.
