Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Does My Forward Progress Sometimes Cause Emotional Whiplash in My Wife? Part 2 – Inviting Her into the Journey


Listen Later

You’ve made a breakthrough. You’ve figured out what went wrong and you’re finally on the right path. So why does your wife still seem disconnected… or even upset?

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, we unpack the often-missed truth behind emotional whiplash: when men share the destination of their growth without taking their wife along for the journey.

We discuss:

  • Why your wife may not trust your progress unless she sees how you got there

  • The iceberg analogy: why she can’t see your internal work

  • How to bring her into your reflection without being dragged into shame

  • Why slowing the process down might save the relationship, not sabotage it

  • How your excitement can unintentionally leave her behind

  • The power of starting with “I was reflecting…”

  • What it really means to “walk her through” your progress instead of dumping it on her

This episode is for husbands who are trying, but keep hearing:

“You still don’t get it.”
Even when you thought you did.
