I remember this story. I read it a long time ago. This man is not necessarily fine, he's just comfortable, maybe at peace even. He has his money, his home, his things, enough meaningful relationships to not feel isolated, but is still undeniably broken. He got red or even black-pilled the hard way. Some men live like this, at peace, and people still think they should share that with someone else. Most of these people see this lifestyle as unhealthy but don't consider that a man might see it as a downgrade if they mix a relationship in. OP has just had bad luck in his later relationships. But remember, any man will change for that one girl. OP just hasn't met her yet. I agree with the therapist that this man has some form of PTSD, though. Former soldier, betrayed by your spouse, and losing your faith in the modern dating world? Yep...
This was me after my divorce. Infidelity and worse. I am now a content introvert. Don't think about ex, don't have friends or even friendly acquaintances. Used to be social butterfly, now I don't trust myself to make another stupid decision so am alone by choice.

You're a veteran you need to go and be seen at the VA. I have counselors and you can get medicine over there. A whole lot cheaper.
