How Do I Communicate with My Wife When Everything I Say Seems to Make Things Worse Part 3 – Understanding Real Vulnerability and Engineering Emotional Safety
Why does my wife say I’m not being vulnerable—even when I’m doing my best to be honest?
Why does it feel like every time I open up, it backfires?
In Part 3 of this deeply practical series, we break down the misunderstood idea of vulnerability—but in man talk. Using the metaphor of building a bridge, Maurice reveals how to create emotional safety by treating communication like an engineering project: sharing accurate, useful information to strengthen trust—not just confessing weakness or oversharing emotion.
You’ll learn:
The male definition of vulnerability (and why women still say it’s not enough)
Why sharing emotionally charged details isn’t always real transparency
The difference between gaslighting and engineering-level communication
Why emotional safety requires independent stability—not constant reaction
How to know if your wife is still too unstable for certain conversations (and how to proceed without making things worse)
If you feel like you can’t say anything without upsetting her—or if she’s accusing you of being unsafe when you’re just trying to function—this episode is your blueprint for navigating the chaos.
