"No... That Doesn't Count!" - A Woman Writes in About Her Husband's OCD Cleaning. Oh boy...
Jennifer writes into to share the story of her OCD husband's super cleaning habits, and how she doesn't feel like it "counts" as helping out like "normal" guys do... because her husband's cleaning is an artifact of his disorder. I, like most men, will determine that her opinion on the value of his help is determined by how much he is suffering in the process. No, Jennifer... this was not a good thing.Join The HFM Brotherhood!

The betrayal, the heartbreak, and the life-altering truth—this is one of the most gut-wrenching stories I’ve ever received.

"She Warned Me... And I Didn't Listen. Now I'm Paying The Price."
A follower shares his story that is, unfortunately, all too common. His woman gave him every indication that she wasn't really good long-term relationship material. In fact, she flat out TOLD him that she has issues with her sex drive when in relationships. Like a lot of codependent men, Liam took that as a challenge to prove his worth as a spouse. Now he is left wondering why his woman left him for a guy young enough to be his son. Join The HFM Brotherhood!
