Two friends of. One each call me when they have some scenario eating at them. I”m older, have seen a lot of stuff, and am a good listener. I am honored they each think of me when they have troubles.

Find a close male friend or family member who doesn't feel uncomfortable or insecure about letting down barriers and being vulnerable in front of another man. Then reciprocate.

I have a couple heads in jars. They are very understanding and are great listeners.

When I was young I talked to a supervisor at work about some personal problems I was dealing with at home. It wasn’t long before everyone at work knew about my problems. Last time I ever did something like that.

Wake up and read a chapter from your Bible and spend some time in prayer with the lord. Then go to the gym. I promise you it will make a difference. Be mindful of what you hear and listen to. Talk to your pastor

Be careful not to trauma dump. Also, if you're talking to dudes, they're going to offer solutions even if they're not asked, so understand the difference between venting and asking for help.
My tactic is to wait until my venting confidant drinks enough to where I know he's not going to remember or internalize anything I tell him. I've even told him I do that on purpose, and he's all in on that technique.
Any serious bitching, particularly about ex-wife, only occurs to people that live more than four hours away. That way there's no risk of 'hood gossip generating explosions.

Don’t tell your wife
Or you know, you could try talking to her.
I'm gonna give it to you from my female point of view, and it may not be the same as others, but I bet not far off. For me, if you are stressed you're expressing it somehow, whether intentional or not. She'll be able to tell. When you shut down and don't communicate it, she's going to think it has to do with her.
If you talk to her, she'll appreciate that you want to talk to her about it I bet. And because by nature we are more nurturing, she'll probably take something off your plate, do something nice or at a minimum offer a listening ear.

As someone who has done a lot of work on quieting the mind, I will say it’s actually not good to talk to another person about your problems. That gets them out there and makes them real. It’s better to reframe a problem into a positive if you can. Positive affirmations help a lot.
Hate your job? Tell yourself that you love it, over and over. If you feel trapped there, work on getting out but never go through your day thinking about how you hate it. That’s poison for the mind. Too many negative thoughts will frick up your body as well, as the body cannot live without the mind.

My brother and I have been through a bunch of tough shite together. He’s my closest confidant. I think my wife knows me better today, but I can tell him shite I would never tell her.
Dad is dead so that’s why he’s not an option. Although sometimes after that second drink I’ll walk outside and talk to the stars like Simba did Mufasa.

Read a book called the Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene.
You’re welcome.
