My wife is stonewalling and giving me the silent treatment and I’m frustrated

I speak with a LOT of men and one recurring theme that comes up over, and over, and over, and over again is the "broken wife" story.

Sheesh, you'd think that there are nothing but broken women in the world as much as we as men get _really_ good at forming a story about how broken our wives are.

Right to the point: They're NOT broken. They're not behaving badly. They're just being normal, every day, garden-variety women. Brother, you (like all of us) just need to learn to be a better man!

All humans suffer from shame and women, being humans like us, suffer their own shames. For many of them, that begins around the time they're six or seven years old when they begin to slowly and progressively feel more and more inadequate. They feel like they're too much of this, not enough of that. That they're trouble, or some sort of bother.

This leaves many feeling woefully not-enough. Except, they also know they are - at least somewhere deep within.

When we as men begin to interpret what is just being a feminine woman as being some sort of problem to fix, not only do we weasel ourselves out of a deep emotional connection with a beautiful person, we also join the ranks of the negative, nasty, life-thieving voices they've battled in their heads all their lives.

Don't be that man! Your lady isn't broken, you just need to grow!

Listen to what I shared with another brother recently encountering this kind of story.

Need understanding how to better understand your wife as a normal, non-broken female?

Let's talk (for free)!
