What happens when your partner is physically present in your life but emotionally married to the pub or the golf course or anywhere that is not you? In this Relationship Autopsy episode we dig into the quiet heartbreak of being a “pub widow” or widower, the neglected partner left at home while someone else’s pint or pastime or obsession takes centre stage. We look at the psychodynamics of avoidance and the culture of normalized neglect and why this pattern leaves one partner starved for intimacy while the other hides behind habit. If you have ever felt like second place to a barstool or a hobby or a screen this episode will strike home.

Soul Path Alchemy is a podcast exploring the deeper layers of human experience; through psychology, soul work, healing and truth. Each episode is a conversation between the seen and unseen, where emotional insight meets spiritual clarity. If something in this moved you, following and sharing helps it reach others on their own Soul Path. This podcast is for anyone drawn to depth, transformation and the quiet remembering of who they really are. If this episode speaks to something in you, it may speak to someone else too. When you follow, share, or simply stay connected, it helps this work reach the people it’s meant for; gently, naturally, in the way real alignment always does.
