ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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 to fix your marriage… then the marriage was never getting fixed in the first place.
In this video, we’re talking about:
- Why post-conflict sex feels like a miracle cure (but isn’t)
- The illusion of progress vs. real connection
- How men get addicted to “sexual relief” instead of doing the work
- And why you should never cancel your damn coaching session

In this one I read an email from a man who got hit with that exact line, and I break down what it actually reveals. Not about …
She told you she needs to feel "safe" before she can want you again. So you did the logical thing. You got softer. Gentler. More patient. More accommodating. You walked on eggshells and gave her all the space and comfort she asked for.
And she wants you even less than before.
In this one I break do…
"She's just stressed." The kids, the job, her mom, the move. You've been telling yourself that for seven years.
Real stress comes and goes. The deadline passes, the mother-in-law goes home, and the couple that's actually okay finds their way back to each other. If yours survived three jobs, two hou…
Kate is the admittedly avoidant partner to Tyler Ely, the anxious partner I had on a previous live stream. Tyler read The Dead Bedroom Fix, backed off, and started working on his own security. It helped. We heard his side. This one is hers.
Three years ago they sat in therapy and talked about endin…
Cassie is back. She's an occupational therapist who works with neurodiverse kids, she lectures at the college level, she'll have her PhD next May, and she has severe lifelong ADHD herself. She doesn't dance around any of it.
By my estimate the majority of the men in my community are neurodivergent …
