from The Paradox of Change - There has to be an I before We! · host Elliot, Fifi, Lottie
You responded to our last few episodes about Sexless Relationships, in a way we didn't expect. Thousands of comments. Hundreds of stories. Some of them stopped us mid-session.This week, Elliot and Lottie sit down to read and respond to YOUR comments - the ones that were raw, unfiltered, and at times, devastating. Men who have been living in sexless marriages for 10, 20, even 30 years. Women reflecting on their own role in the breakdown. People asking the question they've never been able to ask out loud.We respond as therapists. Honestly. Without judgment. In this episode:Why "you get what you tolerate" cuts deeper than it soundsThe difference between guilt and shame in intimate rejectionWhen infidelity becomes the conversation a couple never hadWhat it means for a man when sex becomes a transactionHow one person changing can shift the entire relationship dynamicThe question that changes everything: "Who have I become in this relationship?"This is not a blame episode. This is not a fix-your-partner episode. This is a real conversation about what happens to good people inside broken intimacy dynamics - and what the path forward actually looks like.Leave a comment below.
