Men always think that just because their girl suddenly doesn’t want to have sex, she must be cheating. 😭 No, bro it’s something you’re doing. You don’t have a job, she can’t talk to you without an argument, you don’t pay bills, never plan dates, y’all haven’t taken a single trip, her mental’s not okay right now, you keep lying, the house got more chaos than peace, you’re liking other women’s posts online, and you wear the same clothes while spending all your time with the homies. Trust, it’s something. She’s not turned on by nothing about you right now. Do better, man. 😭😭🖕🏽
My wife stopped fighting with me in 2018.
I thought we'd finally figured it out.
No more arguments about the dishes. No more sighing when I forgot something. No more asking me to help with things I should've noticed myself.
Peace.
That's what I called it.
For two years I lived in that silence thinking we'd reached some kind of marital maturity.
Then one night—11 PM, night before Thanksgiving—I found her crying in the kitchen.
Making pie crust from scratch because my mother had made a comment the year before about store-bought being "fine, I guess."
I asked what was wrong.
She looked at me like I was a stranger.
"Nothing."
That's when I realized:
She hadn't stopped fighting because things were better.
She stopped fighting because she stopped believing I would ever change.
The silence wasn't peace.
It was resignation.
She'd built her entire life around my absence…while I was still in the house. Eating the food she cooked. Sleeping in the bed she made. Parenting the kids she was raising.
And I called it partnership because I brought home a paycheck.
Most men don't have a marriage problem.
They have an absence problem.
Their wives stopped asking because asking hurt too much.
So they carry it alone. The meals. The schedules. The mental load. The holidays.
And we sit on the couch checking our phones thinking "at least we're not fighting anymore."
Brother, fighting would be better.
Anger means she still believes you could change.
Silence means she made peace with the fact that you won't.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
Your wife is going to wake up before you. Start cooking while you sleep. Manage the chaos while you watch the parade. Clean up while you digest.
Unless you don't let her.
I wrote the protocol for coming home to a marriage you've been absent from.
The 5 stages of wifely resignation.
Why "I'll do better" doesn't work anymore.
The 30-day silent rebuilding system.
The conversation she needs to hear.
It's called "When She Stopped Asking."
Link below if you want it.
But whether you buy it or not—wake up first tomorrow.
I'm kind of an absent friend like i will love you with my whole heart and go out of my way to give you any help you need but I tend to live in my own world and suck at keeping up communication and I'm really sorry to anyone who takes that personally.
In case you weren’t raised correctly, it is a man's job to set the tone in a relationship. Whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy.. his consistency, his intentions, his presence. She takes what he gives and reflects it. When a man leads with clarity, love, and respect, it creates a space where a woman can feel safe, soft, and secure. Vice versa, when he leads with confusion, mixed signals, and inconsistency, it forces her to operate in survival mode. She becomes guarded, unsure, and emotionally exhausted 💡
@domdyer70 This poor, homeless man selflessly hugs his dog as the dog is all he has. Neither money nor fancy clothes is a sign of a good human being. It's the heart, empathy, & kindness.
