Damn, western fathers are such fucking burnt out dead beats. I see this same type of thread begging for male guidance. The west is seriously faggy as fuck ball busting matriarchy.

im looking for the same thing. im gonna get married in a few months, and i feel completely unfit to take care of a woman. im ashamed and uncomfortable. i dont know how to deal with the fact that a person likes me, let alone wants to live with me. and she loves me so much it hurts, and i dont want to be a disappointment. please bros, ive been given a shot at something good here for the first time in my 26 years, and i dont want to fuck it up. please give me some kind of self help books to become a more fulfilled man, and to actually choose happiness and love. anything about how to be a good husband would be appreciated as well.
may God bless all my brothers on this board

Pure post, good for you mate, I'm envious of your situation

Unironically I recommend meditation, it will make you much more aware of your relationships with people and in doing so will make you a better partner

A Guide to Biblical Manhood
by Randy Stinson

Wife picked this up from a little free library and asked if I wanted to read it. I did. Not life altering but had some interesting points and tips. We aren't religious either. Just open to finding info everywhere. Keep reading, anon.

Maybe you should fix self-hatred first. You have to convert hatred into something productive.

Some people convert their hatred by reading a lot to attain knowledge, so they can in turn shit vengeance on all illiterates in any argument.

Some convert hatred into energy (you give an extra push while working out when you have a source from which to drain power internally).

If you just want to get rid of it, you might need to orient towards philosophy / spirituality (but mainly spirituality). Did you ever try reading up on Buddhism or Taoism ? They might help you gain internal balance.

Last, but not least, it's probably almost impossible to get rid of all hate. Everyone hates something about himself, which means that people have to learn to live with it. Nobody's perfect.
