040: Kyle Wood breaks the taboo: male loneliness, cheating and how to rebuild trust in your marriage


Listen Later

Kyle Wood is the founder of a podcast called I Love You Man. (Yes, just like the movie.)

He created the project after going through a hard patch followed by depression while living in a new city. It was during that time he realised how important his male friends were to him and how he hadn't made any close male friends since moving.

The show and the project it lives at (Heartmen.net) document and share his journey to finding our how to make close male friends and how to be better mates with his existing male friends and family.

In this episode we discuss:

~ The drive to be liked and how destructive it can be

~ Figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life

~ Dealing with uncertainty

~ The pressure of being a "husband" versus a "boyfriend"

And Kyle speaks for the first time publicly about what happened when he cheated on his wife, how they rebuilt their relationship and what was going on for him that led him to it.

This is a brave conversation that might trigger your own 'stuff'. Listen with a curious, open mind and heart.

Kyle's parting thought:

When you're feeling a certain way, don't push it away but ask why you're feeling that way, even if it's uncomfortable.
