Why Your Wife Has No Fantasies... Or None She Will Tell You
Why she doesn't.... or why she may not tell them to you! On this episode, we cover who may and who may not have fantasies, and what you may be doing to contribute to her not wanting to be open with you about fantasies she does have! Remember, a FANTASY is not going to be SOMETHING YOU DO EVERY TIME so the likelihood of her fantasy being "the same thing we do all the time" is low!

When Your (Relatively Young) Wife Thinks That A Sexless Marriage Should Be Fine With You
Increasingly, younger (under 35) women believe this is okay and in fact the only ethical solution to their desire not to have sex. I see this constantly and here's why I think this is happening sociologically. And also, how to open up a new way to think about this!

Your Sex Drive Isn't Dependent On Your Wife, So Why Would Hers Be Dependent On Anything You Are Or Do?
So many guys take their wife's low sex drive or lack of desire at times (even within the context of an average sex drive) personally... and manosphere content amplifies this inaccurate idea that you can change your wife's sex drive by being hotter/cooler/better. You cannot impact your wife's sex drive, just as she cannot impact yours. Here is how to use this info to be in a happier marriage, and what you CAN change and why.

When Your "Mr. Perfect" Husband Makes You (The "Crazy Wife") Feel Emotionally Unprotected
When you're in a "Mr. Perfect And His Crazy Wife" dynamic (May 20, 2022 episode https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drpsychmomshow/episodes/Couples-You-Meet-in-Couples-Counseling--Type-1-Mr--Perfect-and-his-Crazy-Wife-e1in100), you often feel like you're being set up to be your worst, most insecure and most volatile self. I enumerate some of the ways that this happens, so that you and your avoidant "perfect" husband may look differently at what's going on. Some behaviors I cover include: repeating what you say in public, teasing, not being on your side, not being there for night feedings/not protecting your sleep, saying you don't have physical or mental health issues when you do, and more!

You Don't Need To Be Rich Or Super Hot Or Tall To Find Women... Obviously
Some guys say that women will only want to date tall guys, or rich guys, or super hot guys, and this allows them to wallow in their negativity and not really put themselves out there when dating. Ironically, I've seen negativity be the only thing that women REALLY can't stand. Listen for why your "statistics" about Tinder swiping don't mean anything in terms of finding love.

"Getting Emotionally Closer Will Lead To Sex" Only Works For Preoccupied Attachment Women
Many, many of my couples clients end up in my office after spending years with other couples therapists who told them, "When you get emotionally closer, the sex will follow." When this doesn't work, they come to me, as I work on sex and emotional closeness in parallel in therapy. However, these therapists are not completely wrong, because their theory is true for a subset of women, called preoccupied attachment women. Also covered: why you need to address sex directly with avoidant attachment women.

"The More Partners A Woman Has, The Less Special She Thinks Sex Is!"
This was a comment on a post on my Facebook page, and I hear it all over social media! Here's why it's ridiculous and goes against everything I see... along with a personal anecdote from my own childhood that I think is a great parallel!
