In this episode of the Tough Love Podcast, we break down the three most common behaviors men bring into relationships that can quietly undermine—and eventually destroy—connection in marriage. While we’ve touched on these patterns before, this conversation goes straight to the heart of what’s actually happening and how to change it.
Throughout the episode, we challenge traditional ideas of stoicism, naming how emotional unavailability often disguises itself as strength. True strength, we argue, lies in emotional presence and vulnerability.
This episode offers practical insight into recognizing these behaviors, naming emotions, and building healthier relational habits. These patterns are trainable—and change is possible.
To go deeper, we invite listeners to explore our programs at BeingMen.net, including our Tough Love course, designed to support men in creating more connected, resilient relationships.
