    Oct 7 2025

    If your wife never wants intimacy, you’re not crazy for feeling lonely, angry, or unwanted. Many good men quietly carry this pain — wondering what it means, and what to do when they feel rejected in their own marriage.

    In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott breaks down what it really means when your wife avoids intimacy — and how to heal the pain without resentment, control, or self-abandonment. You’ll hear the story of one coaching client who hadn’t been touched in years, and how he found peace, confidence, and emotional connection again using The Secure Husband Process.

    You’ll learn:
    ✔️ Why lack of intimacy is a symptom, not a personal failure
    ✔️ How emotional disconnection fuels sexual distance
    ✔️ The difference between wounded and toxic relationship patterns
    ✔️ How to face rejection without losing your sense of worth
    ✔️ What it looks like to lead from calm truth instead of anger or guilt
    ✔️ How to rebuild confidence and connection — even if she doesn’t change

    If you’ve been silently asking, “What does it mean if my wife never wants me?” — this episode will help you see the truth clearly, honor your needs, and stop abandoning yourself in the name of peace.

  • How Do I Stop Resenting My Wife For No Sex?
    Oct 5 2025

    Do you feel resentful toward your wife because of a lack of sex in your marriage? You’re not alone. Many men in sexless or low-sex marriages feel lonely, rejected, and ashamed. Resentment builds — not because you’re bad or broken, but because your deeper pain has gone unspoken.

    In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott shares the story of one coaching client who carried years of quiet anger, bitterness, and rejection. You’ll learn how resentment is not the root problem — but a signal pointing to unhealed pain. And you’ll see how The Secure Husband Process helps men heal the loneliness and shame of feeling unwanted, so they can lead with strength, peace, and truth.

    What you’ll learn in this video:
    ✔️ Why resentment builds in sexless marriages
    ✔️ How to recognize the real pain underneath resentment
    ✔️ The role of childhood wounds in shaping your reaction to rejection
    ✔️ How to stop abandoning yourself when intimacy is missing
    ✔️ Why compassion for her wounds matters — but so do your boundaries
    ✔️ How to own your sexual needs without guilt or shame
    ✔️ What it looks like to become grounded and secure, even if sex doesn’t return

    You can stop resenting your wife without shutting down, blowing up, or giving up. The answer isn’t found in trying harder to earn sex. It’s in learning how to face your pain, honor your worth, and lead from truth.

    Oct 3 2025

    Do you reach for a drink to take the edge off? Do you tell yourself it’s “just to relax” — but deep down you know it’s about numbing? Many men use alcohol to escape feelings of shame, stress, and loneliness.

    In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott explores how alcohol becomes less about celebration and more about self-abandonment. You’ll hear the story of one coaching client who realized he wasn’t addicted to alcohol — he was addicted to avoiding his pain. And you’ll learn how The Secure Husband Process can help you stop numbing, face your wounds, and lead yourself with calm strength.

    What you’ll learn in this video:
    ✔️ Why alcohol becomes a coping tool for emotionally wounded men
    ✔️ How numbing is really about escaping shame, stress, and loneliness
    ✔️ The childhood roots of using avoidance as survival
    ✔️ How one husband stopped abandoning himself and started to heal
    ✔️ Practical steps to regulate emotions without turning to alcohol
    ✔️ Why facing your pain is the path to real strength and presence

    You don’t need to shame yourself. You’re not weak — you’re wounded. But you don’t have to stay stuck. You can stop escaping and start leading with honesty, compassion, and strength.

    ✔️ Why putting yourself last is hurting your marriage and self-respect
    ✔️ How people-pleasing is based on fear, not love
    ✔️ The story of a man who went from passive and invisible to calm and present
    ✔️ How to meet the younger part of you that learned to perform for approval
    ✔️ Why your marriage needs the real you, not a yes-man
    ✔️ Steps from The Secure Husband Process to set boundaries with clarity and compassion
    ✔️ How to honor your truth without turning into a jerk

  • Am I Sacrificing Authenticity for Attachment?
    Sep 27 2025

    Many husbands silence their truth to keep the peace. They say yes when they mean no. They laugh off painful comments. They hold back needs to avoid conflict. Over time, this quiet self-betrayal leaves them empty, resentful, and unsure of who they really are.

    In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott unpacks why men trade authenticity for attachment and how to reclaim your voice without blowing up your marriage. You’ll hear the story of a husband who realized he had slowly abandoned himself just to keep connection alive, and the steps he took to rebuild his identity, confidence, and peace.

    Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
    ✔️ Why men choose attachment over truth — and the hidden cost
    ✔️ How self-abandonment erodes respect and connection in marriage
    ✔️ The story of a husband who lost himself trying to keep the peace
    ✔️ Steps from The Secure Husband Process to reclaim your authenticity
    ✔️ How to meet the younger part of you that learned survival over truth
    ✔️ How to lead with calm strength instead of fear of rejection
    ✔️ Why real love can only exist where truth is allowed to show up

    You don’t have to disappear to keep your marriage intact. You can be true to yourself, set boundaries with calm strength, and lead your family from a place of peace instead of fear.
