Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

How Can I Talk to My Spouse About My Growth and Triggers in a Way That Builds Trust? Part 3 – What If She Still Thinks I Haven’t Changed?


Listen Later

You’ve put in six months of work. You’ve grown. You’ve changed. But it still feels like she looks at you like the same guy who messed up. Why?

In Part 3 of this powerful series, we confront the painful disconnect that happens when you're doing deep inner work—but your spouse doesn’t acknowledge it. You want trust, connection, and a fresh start... but you’re stuck in the shadows of who you used to be.

This episode covers:

  • Why emotional intimacy feels like hitting the Rocky Mountains of marriage repair

  • How to handle it when she doesn’t believe you’ve changed—even if you have

  • What it really means to “go first” in rebuilding trust

  • Why you must treat her like she’s grown, too—even when you can’t see it

  • The hidden weight of connection that most couples overlook

  • And how to stop waiting for validation and start standing confidently in your growth

This is not about waiting to be rewarded. It’s about becoming the kind of man who leads with patience, strength, and emotional skill—even when it feels thankless.
