  • What to do when you're hurting
    Your partner roll's their eyes at you, and sighs in exasperation. You feel a dagger of embarrassment and shame run through your heart. You are having a great day when suddenly your partner bursts through the door after a stressful day. You can tell they're in a bad mood. They are short-tempered with you, and your stomach balls up in knots from the stress they brought into the room. Your partner says something that makes you feel like they're intentionally targeting what they know to be one of your biggest insecurities, or sensitive subjects. You withdraw, shut down, and a sense of betrayal and sadness washes over you like an unexpected cold ocean wave. Things like this happen all the time in marriage. Sometimes they happen because our partner is being an inconsiderate turd. Other times we just take things out of context. So, how do you know when the pain you're feeling is due to poor behavior that you should address with your partner, as opposed to when it's a hypersensitivity that you need to address on your own by learning to self-soothe and give your partner the benefit of the doubt? Kyle Benson and I talk about learning to regulate your emotions and deal with stressful situations in this episode.

  • Masturbation. Yes, we're talking about it.
