The Hidden Reason Men Turn to Porn & Infidelity

Why do some men turn to porn, cheating, or secret late-night doom-scrolling sessions when their relationship feels off?This episode, we're joined by Gottman Institute certified therapists Dr. Dana McNeil and Jeffrey Young, LMFT to unpack the hidden pressures many men carry in relationships. From late-night porn use to emotional affairs, we explore why these behaviors often aren’t about sex, but about shame, loneliness, performance, and the fear of being a burden.Through a fictional vignette, we break down how emotional disconnection quietly builds, why vulnerability can feel impossible for men, and what actually helps couples reconnect before it’s too late.For more information on Dr. Dana's group practice visit: The Relationship Place
