Many men were taught that being a good husband meant providing, protecting, and doing their part.
That role made sense once. It doesn’t anymore.

In this episode, I’ll break down why effort, money, and responsibility no longer create connection or desire in marriage, and why many men feel resentful and confused despite doing “everything right.”

You’ll learn:

The difference between a role and a relationship

Why effort quietly turns into expectation and resentment

How transactional thinking kills intimacy

What protecting actually looks like in modern marriage

Why many women stop “quietly carrying” the relationship in midlife

What needs to shift for connection and desire to return

This episode is for men who are working hard, doing their part, and still feel unappreciated, disconnected, or unwanted at home.

If you’re tired of waiting for things to change on their own, this conversation will help you see what’s really happening, and what actually needs to change.
