The Care & Feeding of Your Anxious Husband 7:50

Play Pause

1d ago7:50

Today we’re talking about something that a lot of men won’t admit, but a lot of women quietly suffer through: living with an anxious husband. And yes, I’m going to make fun of us a little. This video is a tongue-in-cheek “instruction manual” for how to care for the anxious, approval-seeking, reassurance-addicted man. The guy who needs constant vali…

Rejection Sensitivity: Why You Overthink Everything 16:53

9d ago16:53

16:53

Rejection hits some men harder than others. For a lot of guys, it’s not just discomfort—it feels like danger. One cold look from your wife. One delayed text. One “Can we talk later?” from your boss. Suddenly you’re spiraling, apologizing, chasing, overreacting, or completely shutting down. This isn’t weakness. It isn’t you being dramatic. It’s reje…

It’s Not Fair — I Did Everything Right! 16:05

16d ago16:05

16:05

A lot of men struggle with the realization that they don’t actually have full control over how life or their marriage turns out. You can do everything “right”—be faithful, provide, stay fit, treat her well—and still end up rejected, divorced, or alone. In this episode, I talk about why that happens, and why it’s not a sign that you failed. Life isn…

Why Women Had More Sex Under Socialism 10:24

23d ago10:24

10:24

I recently read a New York Times article claiming that women under socialism had more sex and better orgasms than women in capitalist Western countries. Sounds wild, right? But when you dig deeper, the real message is actually something I talk about all the time: Women shut down sexually when their lives are full of stress, chaos, financial pressur…

Stop Forcing Closeness – How Anxious Men Kill Intimacy 16:57

30d ago16:57

16:57

If you lean anxious in relationships, this one’s for you. I see it all the time—guys who crave closeness so much that they choke the relationship. You text too much, talk too much, try too hard to keep things “good.” But that desperate energy ends up pushing her away. I’ll show you what’s really happening under the surface—why your attachment syste…

Andrew Wilson’s Meltdown Caught Live 15:46

Today we’re digging into something wild: how a guy who talks about masculinity, strength, and “doing it right” completely lost his cool when his own story was challenged. That guy is Andrew Wilson. If you’re rebuilding your life, your identity, or trying to walk the line of integrity after a setback—I promise you: this matters. We’ll cover: Who And…

Why You Feel So Needy (And How to Stop) 9:41

1M ago9:41

9:41

Let’s talk about neediness — what it really is, where it comes from, and how to stop letting it ruin your relationships. Neediness isn’t about “having needs.” It’s about trying to make one specific person fix your emotional state on demand. That’s not love — that’s panic. I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening inside your nervous system wh…

Man Discovers Wife’s Affair Years Later — What Now? 13:40

Infidelity doesn’t just destroy trust in the present — it rewrites your past and makes you question everything you thought was real. In this video, I respond to a man who discovered that his wife cheated years ago… and now her old lover has confessed everything. What happens when your entire marriage suddenly looks like a lie? What do you do when t…

The One Thing Everyone Misses About Dead Bedrooms 14:53

2M ago14:53

14:53

Most guys in sexless marriages miss the most important piece of the puzzle. They think if they just get their wife to “want it” again, everything will go back to normal. But what if the truth goes all the way back to the beginning — before the wedding, before the kids — to whether the two of you were even matched in the first place? In this episode…

When Your Wife Changes After the Baby: Why So Many Men Fall Apart 13:45

2M ago13:45

13:45

In this episode, I dive into one of the hardest truths many men face after becoming fathers: the woman you married may not be the same woman after the baby arrives. For a lot of men—especially the more sensitive or anxiously attached ones—this change feels like emotional whiplash. The affection disappears, the intimacy vanishes, and suddenly you fe…

The White Knight Who Couldn’t Stop Saving Women 12:52

3M ago12:52

12:52

Some men can’t stop trying to “save” broken women. They think it’s love. They think it’s noble. But it’s an addiction — a way of escaping their own pain. In this episode, I read a powerful letter from a man trapped in the “White Knight” pattern and delivers some tough love on how rescuing others can destroy you, your marriage, and your peace of min…

Stop Blaming the Affair Partner — She Made the Choice 10:31

3M ago10:31

10:31

A lot of men direct all their anger toward the other guy — the affair partner — when they find out their wife cheated. I get it. It feels easier to hate the outsider than to face what your wife actually did. But at some point, we need to be honest about where the real responsibility lies. In this episode, I respond to a man who wrote in saying he’s…

10:53

In today’s Dear DSO episode, I read a letter from a guy I’ll call John. He’s reached the end of his rope. His wife drinks heavily, refuses therapy, hasn’t been intimate with him in years, and contributes nothing to the family or household. Meanwhile, John’s doing it all — cooking, cleaning, parenting, working full-time — and he’s still trying to “m…

9:19

In this episode, I respond to a listener email from a man who caught his wife sneaking around with ‘just a friend.’ Even when confronted, she flips it on him and calls him insecure. Why do cheaters deny and gaslight instead of owning up? I break it all down—and talk about what men need to do in this situation. Submit your own story to Dear DSO. Joi…

When a Wife Walks Away After 30 Years: Midlife Crisis, Perimenopause, or Something Else? 15:40

3M ago15:40

15:40

In this episode, I respond to a listener email from a man whose wife left him after 33 years of marriage. She had an affair, moved 2,000 miles away, and says she’s finally living for herself. Is this midlife crisis? Perimenopause? Or just long-simmering resentment finally boiling over? I break it all down—and more importantly, talk about what men c…

11:08

A man wrote in after 30+ years of marriage. Three kids, a successful career, a busy and interesting life—he’s fit, adventurous, and still chasing growth at 61 years old. The problem? His wife has completely checked out sexually. No intimacy, no affection, not even a kiss on the cheek. Even hormone therapy hasn’t changed anything. He loves her, does…

“I Have It All… But My Wife Doesn’t Want Me” 12:15

3M ago12:15

12:15

I got a “Dear DSO” email from a guy who, on paper, checks every single box: tall, fit, wealthy, educated, successful, funny, a family man… and yet, his wife treats sex like a chore. She’s overweight, disengaged, and more interested in romance novels than her husband. His question: If you’re not a porn star, is this just the life you have to accept?…

Are You ADHD? Why Your Brain Is a Dumpster Fire (And Your Wife’s Had It) 7:26

7:26

Most of the guys who find their way to my videos have two things in common: their relationship is falling apart… and their brain feels like a blender stuck on “purée.” Turns out, a huge number of men struggling with marriage or divorce also have undiagnosed ADHD. In this video, I break down the real signs of adult ADHD in men—no TikTok self-diagnos…

A guy books an emergency coaching call. Says his marriage is hanging by a thread. He's sleeping in the guest room. She won’t talk to him. Full panic mode. Then when we finally meet? “Oh… never mind. We had sex last night. I think we’re good now.” Let me tell you something, fellas — if a single act of pity sex is enough to make you cancel your plan …

Why You Can’t Stop Thinking About Her (Even Though It’s Over) 9:33

4M ago9:33

You ever catch yourself stuck in a mental loop? Replaying the breakup, the betrayal, the one thing she said that cut deep? That’s rumination — and it’s not helping you heal. In this video, I explain what rumination really is, why your brain gets stuck there, and how to break out of the loop before it drives you insane. We’ll look at the neuroscienc…

This letter hit hard. A woman writes in to share her story: 20 years of marriage. Zero sex. She thought he had a medical issue. Turns out, he was sleeping with nearly 100 sex workers behind her back.

Retroactive Jealousy: Why Her Past Haunts You (And How to Stop Obsessing) 8:25

4M ago8:25

8:25

Men ask me all the time: “Why can’t I stop thinking about her past?” You know she had a life before you… but that doesn’t stop your brain from obsessing over every ex, every hookup, every “what if.” This is retroactive jealousy. And it’s more common — and more damaging — than most guys realize. In this episode, I’ll explain the science behind it, h…
