A reader says that it is obvious that he and his wife have grown apart. She now has a life completely separate from him. Zero sex for years. Why does she still hang on and freak out when he discusses separation or looks at porn?

Dear DSO: “If she has checked out, why is she trying to hang on and control me?”

Welcome to the Dad Starting Over podcast! "Starting Over" means different things to different people. It could be that you're newly divorced and starting over fresh with a new life. It could be that you're still married and wanting to hit the reset button and finally do things right within your marriage. Whatever your story may be, you're in the right place. 

I'm Ralph, a.k.a DSO, the author of books called "The Dead Bedroom Fix", "Divorce Panic", "Real Talk" and "Red Flags". You can learn more about me, my books, one-on-one coaching, and the member-only part of my site called the Brotherhood at https://helpformen.com
