Why You’re Pulling Away in Your Marriage (And Don’t Even Realize It) | Ep 48

You didn’t wake up one day and decide to pull away from your relationship. It happened slowly. In this episode, I’m walking you through what I see all the time with the men I work with. You’ve been trying. You’ve been showing up. But somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like it mattered. That’s where resentment starts to build. We’ll talk about how that resentment turns into distance, how overworking and staying busy can become a way to cope, and why so many men stop bringing things up altogether because they don’t want to deal with the reaction. If you’ve been feeling more guarded, more disconnected, or like it’s just easier to stay quiet than say what you really want, this will help you understand what’s actually happening and why it’s not changing. In this episode, you’ll hear: How resentment builds even when you’re trying to do everything right Why feeling unappreciated leads to pulling back instead of speaking up How work, stress, and family demands can quietly create more distance The shift into avoiding conversations because you already know how they’ll go Why saying less and “keeping the peace” doesn’t create connection 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://alisastoddard.com/podcast 💬 Want help figuring this out in your own relationship?
