Dad Starting Over

Why Your Marriage Became Sexless


Listen Later

Most men in sexless marriages did exactly what they were told to do.

  • They opened up more.
  • They communicated better.
  • They became more emotionally available.
  • They went to therapy.

And somehow, the sex life didn’t come back.
In many cases, it disappeared completely.

In this episode, I explain why that happens — especially when you’re married to a dismissive-avoidant partner.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why “more emotional connection” can actually create less attraction
  • How anxious and avoidant attachment styles quietly kill desire
  • Why many men work on themselves and then realize the relationship itself isn’t healthy
  • Why dismissive-avoidant partners often resist getting help
  • And why effort and effectiveness are not the same thing in long-term relationships

This isn’t about blaming women.
It’s about understanding dynamics most men were never taught — and why doing everything “right” can still lead to a sexless marriage.

If you’re confused, frustrated, or starting to question your relationship, this conversation will likely hit close to home.
