Why Do I Feel Overwhelmed, Forgetful, and Like I’m Never Doing Enough? Part 4 – Why Does She Still Pull Away When I’m Finally Trying?


Listen Later

“Why does she keep finding problems… even when I’m finally trying to fix myself?”
“Why does it feel like I’m walking on eggshells, no matter how much I grow?”

In Part 4 of this gut-level honest series, we tackle one of the most maddening disconnects in marriage recovery:

You’re trying harder than ever.
You’re cleaning up your past.
You’re opening up and staying consistent.

But she still doesn’t trust you. And even worse—she seems to be pulling away more.

This episode explores:

  • Why “good intentions” don’t undo the damage of past behaviors

  • The common trap of arguing intention instead of owning impact

  • How even positive change can feel unsafe to her if it's not anchored in understanding

  • What partial honesty really communicates (even if you technically didn’t lie)

  • The truth about why defensiveness often protects shame, not progress

  • What spiritual strength really looks like when she’s “doing it wrong”

If you’re exhausted from trying, confused by her reactions, and desperate to understand what she needs from you now—this episode will help.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to create real emotional safety—even when you're not perfect yet.
