Stop Being a Martyr in Your Marriage

If your go-to line is “It’s fine, I’ll handle it,” you might be slipping into martyr mode - the pouty, moody bid for care that actually pushes her away. In this episode, I break down why that move erases you from the relationship, leaves her carrying your emotions, and teaches your kids to avoid conflict instead of repairing it. You’ll learn how to re-enter as a partner: speak one true sentence, sit with emotion instead of fixing, set clean boundaries, make shared decisions about money and parenting, and use a quick CLEAR ask (Clear need, Lay out time, Explain why, Ask plainly, Responsibility). I also give word-for-word scripts and a simple weekly rhythm to keep you out of martyr mode. If this sounds like your house and you want targeted help, book a call - this is the work I do with men every day. 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://alisastoddard.com/podcast 💬 Want help figuring this out in your own relationship?
