You Haven't Done Anything. You're Afraid You Will | Ep 78

Create More Intimacy: A Podcast for Men

Show Notes

You haven't done anything. But you're afraid you might.

Maybe you check your phone hoping a particular name shows up. Maybe you feel more like yourself in twenty minutes with someone else than you have in months at home. Or maybe you've crossed this line before, and you recognize where this goes.

In this episode, we'll cover what that fear is actually telling you, and why the pull toward someone else is rarely about her.

You'll hear:

- Why living like roommates leads to numbness, and why numbness doesn't stay put

- Why feeling alive with someone new feels like clarity, and why it isn't

- What a relationship with no history offers, and what it can't tell you

- What men who've strayed before need to know about rules, shame, and secrecy

- The stories that keep the door open, and a simple test that cuts through them

- Why the moment before you act is the moment you have the most choice
