Manage episode 485962428 series 2488448
Episode #986
You’re trying to move forward. You’ve apologized. You’ve changed. But the past keeps showing up in your marriage like it just happened yesterday. Every time things start to feel good again, she brings up the affair, the betrayal, or whatever broke the trust—and it knocks the wind out of both of you.
In this episode, Doug walks through exactly why that keeps happening and what you can do about it. Not with quick fixes or guilt trips, but with real tools that help her feel safe again. You’ll learn how to create the kind of emotional safety that allows her to finally exhale—and how to stay grounded when the past gets brought up, again.
This isn’t about defending yourself. It’s about leading the relationship forward, even if you're the one who caused the pain. If you're serious about rebuilding connection, this conversation is where you start.
