112. Redefining Manhood: Purpose, Identity, and the Role of Infidelity

After the Affair

In this episode of After the Affair, we’re exploring a question that many men find themselves asking but few know how to answer: What does it mean to be a man today?

As gender roles evolve and the traditional definitions of success and purpose shift, men are left to find new ways to build identity, self-worth, and connection.

For some, these uncertainties can lead to choices like infidelity, decisions often rooted in a lack of fulfilment, identity confusion, or the need for external validation.

Join us as we dive into the challenges facing modern men, how traditional roles of provider and protector have transformed, and why a strong sense of purpose is essential in both relationships and self-discovery. This episode isn’t about reclaiming outdated standards but about navigating the complex path of redefining what manhood means today.

Key Takeaways:

• The Evolving Role of Men: Why traditional sources of purpose are shifting and what this means for identity and relationships.
• Infidelity as a Symptom: How a lack of self-worth and unclear identity can lead to seeking validation outside of a committed relationship.
• Finding Fulfillment Beyond Old Roles: New ways men can build purpose that resonates today, through vulnerability, connection, and redefining success.
• A Challenge to Reflect: An invitation for listeners to think about what purpose looks like in their own lives, beyond societal expectations.

This episode will leave you with questions, insights, and encouragement to create a path that aligns with who you truly are.
