In this episode of Uncoupled and Unfiltered, we sit down with Vikki Stark, psychotherapist and author of Runaway Husbands, to explore why some men emotionally or physically disappear during marriage or divorce.
We unpack what defines a runaway husband, the role of emotional avoidance, fear of conflict, and identity loss, and how sudden withdrawal and lack of closure impact spouses, families, and children. This conversation offers insight for anyone navigating divorce, separation, or emotional abandonment—and a deeper understanding of men’s emotional coping in modern relationships.
