31-year-old Maureen and 37-year-old Mark ended their 8-year relationship after Maureen began to believe her need for intimacy was “too much” for Mark. In this episode of Make Him Wonder, we listen in as iconic therapist Esther Perel explores whether reconnection is possible after a breakup—and I share my perspective. Through the lens of the Mechanics of Men and a critical mindset shift, I unpack how Maureen’s needs became misinterpreted, and what she can do, going forward, to have the best chance of getting her needs met should the couple get back together.
