Show Notes
In this candid conversation I sit down with UK therapist Laura How to unpack the quiet crisis facing men today: loneliness, sexless marriages, and the feeling that no one’s actually listening.
Over her 20-plus years in practice, Laura has watched the suicide numbers climb while seeing the same pain walk into her office every week. Together we dig into:
- Why “just talk to her” feels impossible—and how to make it work
- The hard truth about responsibility, blame, and those “bickering-toddler” stand-offs
- How childbirth, resentment, and weight gain hijack desire (and what brings it back)
- Duty, sex, and care: what wives owe husbands—and vice-versa
- When a marriage crosses the line from rough patch to harmful
- Why a stable, affectionate partnership is the single biggest gift you can give your kids
