Feeling rejected by your wife is not fun, neither is feeling disconnected, lonely and resentful. So what can you do? What changes this scenario and creates the connected, loving, passionate, fun relationship you really want?
Feeling Disconnected From Your Wife?
I haven’t been “drunk” for a very long time.
And then my neighbor shows up last night with a guitar, some beer and a shit-eating grin. The rest is history.
I woke up in a fog…fell back asleep…finally ate something…took a nap…now here I am.

Most of the day I couldn’t get the motivation to do more than take a piss and scroll through some Goodguys2Greatmen community posts. (these guys are deep in conversation 24/7)
As I laid there, I was reading posts about guys who are battling feelings of rejection, isolation, disconnection and sadness.
Then those nagging thoughts of anger and resentment popped into the picture.
This is important because those thoughts are the “gateway drugs” for anxiety and depression.
We often talk about tactics and techniques to change these feelings. We talk about finding hobbies, reading books, meditation and exercise.
Those things can be very helpful.

But they are NOT a substitution for a “belief system”.
A New Belief System To Stop Feeling So Rejected By Your Wife
This isn’t about religion.
This is about BELIEVING that your self-diagnosis of being sad, angry, rejected or worthless is kind of funny.
Yes. It is a self-imposed sentence. And I want you to learn to laugh how quickly most of us guys do this to ourselves.
Your dark, negative emotions are entirely created by a belief that they just happened to you like a drive-by emotional shooting. (aka. somebody else’s fault, dammit!)
It’s funny because you’re NOT actually sad, angry, rejected or worthless. You just THINK you are.
Before I go on, watch this video where I dive into ONE THING I believe can help you change your thinking about this so you can change your FEELINGS about this.
Then, if you want to exercise, meditate or read a book…go for it!
Feeling Stuck, Rejected and Disconnected? (You might have forgotten this)
End Feeling Like A Rejected Husband With Purpose
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE MEANT FOR?
Hard question, I know. How about I give you ONE thing to consider.
Your ONLY purpose is very simple.
You are here to Live, Laugh and Love.
These are things you control. These are things for you to create, to enjoy and then to share with others.
That’s it. Seriously.
If you can accept that then you’ll also have to accept ownership for being the kind of man who OWNS this purpose.
Nobody…and I mean nobody else is responsible for you achieving that purpose.
Even in the darkness of living like a roommate with a cold, distant, dismissive, unaffectionate, disconnected and disrespectful wife this is true. (yep, those are the words most of us use constantly)
LIVING means you own the process of creating connections with others and creating experiences that make you feel alive and significant. (even if your wife isn’t interested)
LAUGHING means you own the process of finding the humor in yourself and your experience of living. It’s finding your heartbeat of curiosity and amusement with how things work and how people are. (it’s like the trick of pulling the curtain back in the Wizard of Oz…that silly old man!)
LOVING means you own the process of giving yourself to others. It means giving your inherent manly values of grace and love. Marriages are not where men go to find happiness…it’s where they go to learn how to love. (sometimes like a friggin’ boot camp) And “loving” is a place to come from…not a place to get to. It only comes back to us when we give it without expectations (mastering this is a key focus of our coaching programs)
