How Can I Talk to My Spouse About My Growth and Triggers in a Way That Builds Trust? Part 2 – When She Thinks It’s All Your Fault, but You’re the One Doing the Work
You’re showing up. You’re doing the work. You're learning emotional skills she never saw you try before. So why does it still feel like she thinks you’re the whole problem?
In Part 2 of this raw and insightful series, we explore the honest struggle of men trying to grow emotionally while still being treated like the villain. This episode unpacks the quiet frustration of hearing, “You’re the one who needs to fix yourself,” even when you know both sides need work.
Inside, we cover:
Why taking the lead first (even if she’s not ready) is still the only way forward
The real reason it works better when men initiate emotional conversations
How to keep moving forward when it feels like you’re carrying the whole marriage on your back
What to do when your wife is trying too—but it doesn’t look like progress
Why practicing verbal and emotional intimacy as a skill set unlocks lasting connection
How to stop waiting for fairness and start winning the long game
This isn't about pretending she's perfect. It's about stepping into your role with clarity and conviction—even if she never acknowledges it.
