Dad Starting Over

In this episode, Ralph examines the challenges men often face after divorce, noting that 70% of men are surprised by their partners' decision to leave. He discusses the emotional and physical loneliness these men experience, as well as their quick attempts to start new relationships. The episode looks at the reasons behind mid-life divorces, such as perimenopause and changes in focus once children are adults.

The episode also addresses dating for men in their 40s, warning against rushing into relationships, especially with women eager to have children. Ralph cautions men to be aware of women focused on finding a provider rather than a romantic partner. He suggests waiting at least three years before moving in or marrying to ensure a proper understanding of the partner's intentions.
