The Mask We Wear: How Men Learn to Hide in Relationships

You can feel it the moment it happens—your chest tightens, your voice goes flat, and the urge to fix or deflect takes over. That move worked for years. It kept you safe, respected, maybe even admired. But with the person you love, not so much. It builds walls instead of bridges.In this episode, I talk about the real story behind the “mask” many men wear in relationships: the learned habit of hiding feelings, needs, and vulnerability to appear strong or in control. I share my own experience as well as "Sean's" story, whose partner "Cherie" felt unseen and gave him an ultimatum to get help or the relationship was over. I share some practical tools to help peel back the layers of the mask we wear in relationships. If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you know damn well you're not, this episode is for you.
