Why does your wife still feel distant—even when you’re finally getting it right?

In this episode, we dive into one of the most frustrating (and overlooked) moments in recovery and reconciliation: the emotional whiplash your wife experiences when you grow in silence and then suddenly announce your progress.

In Part 3 of this powerful series, we explore:

• Why simply “sharing your growth” can still feel painful to your wife

• The secret to communicating progress in a way that actually builds trust

• A step-by-step phrase to lower her anxiety at the start of any hard conversation

• How to share your journey without making her feel left behind or judged

• Why “beginning with the end in mind” and “seeking miracles” changes everything

• The myth that “she’s not allowed to talk about my mistakes” — and how that belief damages emotional intimacy

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m improving… so why does she still feel unsafe?” — this episode is for you.
