From "The New York Times," I'm Anna Martin.
This is "Modern Love."
This week, I'm talking to the writer Sam Graham-Felsen.
He just wrote a piece for "The New York Times" Magazine called,
"Where Have All My Deep Male Friendships Gone?"
It wasn't like one day I woke up and was like, oh my God, I'm lonely.
But it was kind of like that.
But I always thought like, oh, well, that's something that applies to other guys.
Because I have a million friends.
I can't imagine ever feeling lonely.
And then, : sometime in my 30s, I'm like, wait a minute.
I think I'm actually feeling lonely.
My wife is a wonderful person, the best listener ever.
That's why I fell in love with her in the first place.
But at a certain point, she's basically like, dude, just go hang out with your friends.
Just call them and hang out with them.
I'm like, you're right, you're right.
Of course, then I didn't call them and hang out with them.
And I did every single thing except for hang out with my friends.
