Hey, what's going on guys? It's another

0:02

beautiful day out here on the front

0:03

porch as you can tell and you guys know

0:05

I like to use these days

0:08

to cover subscriber stories and I've got

0:10

a good one for you.

0:13

So, be sure you guys stick around to the

0:14

end because this is one of those stories

0:16

that

0:18

just goes to show you that no matter how

0:20

much of a top shelf man that you think

0:22

that you really are

0:24

the women

0:26

or the woman that you're with can still

0:28

do things to jeopardize that

0:29

relationship or

0:32

make things difficult. So,

0:34

as always guys

0:36

this guy's going to see these comments.

0:38

He's going to see this video. Be sure

0:39

you be respectful

0:41

and make sure to sound off down in the

0:43

comments below after I read this to you

0:45

because I think you guys are going to

0:46

have a lot to say and I'm sure there's a

0:47

lot of guys out there watching this

0:49

video right now

0:50

that have dealt with this type type of

0:52

thing. So,

0:54

without talking any further, I'm just

0:55

going to go ahead and get right into it.

0:56

This is from

0:58

my boy Andres. Thank you Andres for

1:00

writing in, bro.

1:02

Hell of a story. He says, "Hi Casey.

1:04

First of all, thank you for the work

1:05

that you do. When I say that your videos

1:07

have helped me

1:08

I truly mean it. Not sure where I would

1:11

be without hearing other stories that

1:13

you've shared. I'm finally ready to

1:15

share my story even though it's still

1:17

very fresh.

1:19

This might be one of the longest

1:20

submissions you've received, but I

1:22

believe that it will be worth your time.

1:25

It's unique, so bear with me.

1:27

I'm still processing everything myself,

1:29

but I want other men to know that

1:30

they're not alone in feeling this level

1:32

of devastation after a divorce

1:34

no matter how strong you think you are.

1:37

Well, as far as

1:38

the email being long, bro, that's just

1:40

more ad revenue. So, good stuff here and

1:43

I love seeing emails like this. So,

1:45

thank you so much for writing in. He

1:46

says, "My relationship with my ex

1:48

spanned

1:49

20 years."

1:52

Think about that, guys. 20 years.

1:54

>> [clears throat]

1:55

>> I'll do my best to highlight the major

1:56

moments, but know this is just the tip

1:59

of the iceberg. My efforts went far

2:00

beyond what any letter or or even a book

2:04

could fully capture.

2:07

>> [snorts]

2:08

>> I'm a 37-year-old white male

2:11

commercial pilot and a business owner in

2:13

the USA.

2:15

I was born and raised in a mud hut in

2:17

the remote wilderness of Africa with no

2:20

running water or electricity.

2:22

I know this sounds made up, but it's

2:24

100% true.

2:26

It was incredibly hard and a very unique

2:28

childhood.

2:31

Getting from that mud hut to where I am

2:33

today, a successful pilot and a business

2:35

owner in America.

2:37

It was an extremely difficult road road

2:39

that felt impossible. I'm sure it was,

2:41

bro. I kind of envy your work ethic,

2:44

man.

2:45

Good stuff, bro.

2:47

Our story began when she was 15

2:50

and I was 16. So, this was like a young

2:53

love, you know?

2:55

Like a young maybe a summer started from

2:57

a summer. We'll see. We'll see.

3:00

She was my high school sweetheart.

3:02

We were together for 20 years and

3:04

married for 7 years. I built my entire

3:07

life around

3:09

being the best husband and man that I

3:10

could possibly be for her. Nothing was

3:13

more important to me than taking care of

3:15

her and building the best possible life

3:18

for us

3:19

even when it came at a great personal

3:21

sacrifice.

3:24

So, from the get from the get-go, dude,

3:26

this guy is already like being a man.

3:30

At like what? 16 years old? From the

3:32

from the very beginning, I fell deeply

3:34

in love with her. I didn't have a car

3:37

so a few days a week I'd ride my bike 20

3:40

miles round trip just to sit in her

3:41

driveway for an hour at sunset and talk

3:44

with her.

3:46

Our high school years were great, but I

3:47

quickly became her main source of

3:50

support.

3:52

Once I got a junkie car, I drove us to

3:54

school, I drove us to work, I paid for

3:56

all of our dates, I bought her a cell

3:58

phone, I helped fix her car and provided

4:01

things her parents should have been

4:02

handling.

4:04

I was proud to be the one that loved

4:05

her. I was proud to be the one that

4:07

protected her

4:09

and provided for her

4:11

the most.

4:15

One year into our relationship when she

4:17

was 16, her mother essentially abandoned

4:19

her to move to another city with

4:22

her boyfriend.

4:25

She, meaning the girlfriend, moved into

4:28

my parents' house with me instead of

4:30

moving into another city

4:32

to another city with her mother.

4:34

And the moment she moved in, something

4:36

shifted in me. I decided right then that

4:38

I would do whatever it took

4:41

to build an amazing life for her.

4:44

I vowed to never quit

4:47

to never surrender to hardship.

4:49

At 16, my mindset became fully focused

4:53

on duty and responsibility.

4:57

I wanted to be the man who would never

4:59

leave her never fail her

5:03

and never break a promise.

5:06

I wanted to be her unbreakable bedrock,

5:08

he says.

5:12

Dude, this story needs like minimal

5:15

commentary.

5:16

With that promise in mind, I looked at

5:18

our situation.

5:20

The truth is, we were very poor.

5:23

I sat her down and I was brutally honest

5:25

even at 16

5:27

that I did not want children.

5:30

I never said maybe or we'll see.

5:32

Sometimes you just know things at a

5:34

young age.

5:37

So, I guess this guy he was Andres was

5:39

just dead set on not having kids.

5:42

Just kind of odd at 16, but

5:45

hey, to each their own, you know, as

5:46

they say.

5:47

I told her I would build her an

5:48

incredible life

5:50

filled with an unshakable love, true

5:52

stability, world travel, and lifelong

5:55

adventures instead of children.

5:59

At this time, she happily agreed.

6:02

So, I

6:04

got to work like a dog with a bone, he

6:06

says.

6:09

I started with nothing.

6:11

I worked two or three jobs at a time

6:13

laying brick yard work, fixing cars,

6:16

construction, warehouses, even ranch

6:19

hand work.

6:21

Really anything to provide. When those

6:23

jobs weren't enough, my brother and I

6:24

started a manufacturing business from

6:26

scratch.

6:29

We secured $800,000 in loans and we went

6:33

all in. These are These are men, bro.

6:37

These are [ __ ] men.

6:39

We lived in a rented office space.

6:43

There was only one small bed that we

6:45

could afford, so my brother and I slept

6:47

on used dog beds with second-hand sheets

6:50

while she got the bed.

6:54

I always put her comfort and well-being

6:56

first.

6:59

Bro, you guys were sleeping on dog beds?

7:02

Bro.

7:04

Over the next few years, the company

7:06

took off. We paid our debts and I was

7:09

able to put a small down payment on our

7:11

first humble home

7:13

at around age 24. I paid for her college

7:16

degree and helped her get established.

7:18

When the business hit up hit tough

7:20

times, we
