## Resource

A husband wrote to me after 16 years of marriage. Their sex life had slowly faded until they were barely intimate at all. Then he noticed something strange. His wife became very protective of her phone. One day he looked. What he found wasn’t explicit cheating… but it explained a lot. In this episode we talk about: • Emotional affairs and how they begin • Why sexless marriages create vulnerability • What to do when you discover suspicious messages • Why confrontation often backfires If you’re dealing with a sexless marriage, start here: https://deadbedroomfix.com If you want grounded support from men navigating similar situations, check out the Brotherhood: https://helpformen.com/join
