My Wife Doesn’t Love Me Anymore, What Can I Do?

The most common questions we get asked every day often sound very similar: What can I do when my wife has told me she needs space, that she feels smothered, that she’s not sure what she feels for me anymore or that she feels numb? Most of us are knocked sideways when we hear her say these words and the surprise makes us panic and try to urgently fix what’s going wrong in our relationship. As many of you already know, that reaction just magnifies the problem. In this video Steve and I discuss what you can do when she’s backing away from you to attract her back toward you. … Continue reading →

How to Initiate Sex and Not Get Rejected

This article may piss off a few people…but I don’t care. Tough love is hard to swallow and I’ve had to swallow my fair share. When is the BEST time to ask a woman for sex? Answer: When you don’t NEED it. The worst time to ask for a job, a loan, a date or sex is when you desperately think you NEED it. People smell this a mile away and it shows up in your eyes, your voice, your body and even the muscles in your jaw. Too simple you say? I think not.

I want to help you become more aware of who you are being so you can better create what you really want. In the … Continue reading →

Unattractive Neediness – What to Do if Your Wife Calls You Needy

Warning: This article might sting. I wrote it as if I was writing it to a slightly younger version of myself. This comes from my past.

Why Your Wife Says You’re Needy and Withholds Sex

Is your wife complaining of your neediness? Has she asked for space or said she feels smothered? I talk a lot about women’s intuition and their ability to FEEL the intentions of men, especially their romantic partners. In a long term relationship, this ability is even more fine-tuned. And when the relationship is starting to struggle, they can actually begin to feel male neediness in almost everything we say and do. This is why we must come to grips with how women may “smell” neediness. More importantly, how can WE see it in ourselves? How do we stop it before it starts? And how do we understand WHERE it came … Continue reading →
