Episode #1081

A lot of guys are stuck in the same loop. You work hard, you provide, and you think you're doing everything right. But deep down, there's frustration. Maybe she's pulling away. Maybe you're walking on eggshells. Or maybe you're just not getting the connection, intimacy, or appreciation you thought you would. This episode is about why that happens and how expectations are often the silent killer behind it.

Doug and coach Neil break down the difference between expectations and agreements, and why unspoken expectations build resentment fast. They walk through real examples of how everyday assumptions in marriage who takes out the trash, how often you should have sex, what love is supposed to look like lead to disconnection when they're not talked about. If you've ever thought, "I'm doing my part, why isn't she doing hers?" this conversation is for you.

If your relationship feels off, this is where you start doing something about it.
