What if your emotional state depends on your wife’s emotional state?
In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, we begin a new series on codependency and the hidden belief many men carry:
“I’m okay only if she is okay.”
Many men do not see themselves as codependent. They see themselves as loyal, helpful, responsible, and self-sacrificing. But underneath that can be fear, anxiety, people pleasing, and self abandonment.
In this episode we talk about:
How codependency shows up in marriage
Why anxiety and codependency often go together
How childhood patterns become adult relationship patterns
Why self abandonment feels like love
How codependency affects attraction and sexless marriages
What healing looks like through the Secure Husband process
We also set the stage for this month’s series as we go deeper into boundaries, fear of abandonment, nervous system work, people pleasing, and healing.
If this connects with you, sign up for a free 30-minute consultation. This is just a conversation about what is happening in your marriage and how coaching might work for you. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just seeing if it is a good fit and how I can help.
