Avoiding the Divorce Trap: Insights and Strategies for Men

Episode #1067

Divorce doesn't usually come out of nowhere. Most guys just don't see the signs until it's too late. In this episode, Doug and Chris talk honestly about what really leads to divorce and why so many men are blindsided by it, especially after the holidays.

There's a reason January is known as "divorce season." While you're focused on work or coasting through the holidays, your wife may already be checking out or meeting with a lawyer. This conversation unpacks how good men end up in bad spots, and what to do now if your relationship feels off.

Doug shares what emotional safety actually means, how to tell if your wife's already on her way out, and why most divorces that start "amicable" don't stay that way. They also get into why nice guys who avoid conflict often miss the biggest warning signs. If you've ever thought "she'd never leave," this is one you need to hear. The truth is, women usually leave emotionally long before they file papers. And by the time most men realize it, they're in cleanup mode. That doesn't have to be you.

If your marriage feels stuck or your wife seems distant, now's the time to act. Not after she's already made up her mind.
