The Dr. Psych Mom Show with clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten

Many men don't realize how sitting around and not doing things in the house is a huge evolutionary turnoff for their wives, and also tends to create kids who don't respect you. This episode addresses this and also discusses a bit about the flip side, when women just lay around on their phones.

Some people come into marital therapy assuming the therapist will recognize that they are awesome, far more awesome than their spouse, and they are hoping that the therapist metaphorically slaps some sense into their spouse, saying something like, "Don't you know how lucky you are to be married to this person?" Instead, the therapist usually ends up feeling bad for the spouse of this paragon of perfection, and helping this perfect being see their own faults and appreciate their spouse more. Today's episode can help you see the error of your ways if you find yourself thinking how lucky your spouse is! And follow me on Substack! ⁠⁠https://substack.com/@drpsychmom1⁠⁠!!

Financial success can shake up marriage dynamics, leading to unexpected challenges. Many men might assume that their wives should change their roles entirely once they make more money, but this often leads to tension. The podcast delves into the emotional struggles women face when their homemaking efforts are undervalued. It emphasizes empathy and understanding between partners, illustrating that wealth doesn't automatically translate to happiness or fulfillment. The conversation reveals the deep interplay between money, identity, and relationship health.

This can be a huge wakeup call if you're someone who looks down on your spouse for not trying individual therapy. If you're the critical partner... this episode is for you!

Some guys are so bored with their partner that they execute foreplay like it's the Bataan Death March, or like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho without the murder, and then wonder why their wife's responsive desire doesn't kick in. If she thinks you're only into her if she does XYZ in bed, then it is adaptive and self-protective not to have sex with you, as it is actually only about sex to you and not about connecting with a woman you deeply love and desire.
