Your Avoidant Wife Had an Affair (Here’s Why)


Listen Later

For an anxious guy, nothing is more confusing than discovering that your avoidant, seemingly asexual wife was having an affair.

No touching.
 No sex.
 Years of rejection.

And yet… she was sleeping with someone else.

I break down a real message from a man in a long-term dead bedroom who discovered his dismissive-avoidant wife had been cheating for years. We dig into anxious vs. avoidant attachment, why this dynamic is so common, and why the affair usually has nothing to do with you lacking masculinity, confidence, or sexual value.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • “How could she want sex with him but not me?”
  • “What does an avoidant partner actually want?”
  • “Why counseling never seems to work with avoidant spouses?”
  • “Was I just too needy or anxious?”

…this video will make things click.

We’ll also talk about:

  • Why “new” always beats “safe”
  • Why anxious partners are usually the only ones willing to do the work
  • Why avoidant people struggle in long-term monogamy
  • And why this pattern tends to repeat itself again and again

If you’re dealing with a dead bedroom, infidelity, or the anxious–avoidant trap, you’re not alone.
