  • Answer the questions asked

    I have listened to several episodes of this podcast. The information is subjectively insightful, although it does not reference behavioral sciences.

    The two gentlemen have a poor habit of not answering the questions asked. I have often thought they must be very religious or politically motivated men, because they reframe questions into topics or subjects they would like to a see or discuss.

  • Consent

    Focus on WHY men need to be honest with their partners: consent theft and integrity theft.

    There needs to be more focus on the objectification of women, gendered power dynamics and male entitlement, not just addiction. This is a significant piece of the puzzle. Men would not tolerate this behavior if it were the other way around (especially if the content was actually aimed at female preferences and desire and consumed without them being present or involved).

    Please emphasize to men that lyin... more

  • Grateful to you both!

    Thank you so much for what you both do! For years my husband and I struggled with this heartbreak until one year ago when I discovered your podcast. It was your “What is Pornography” that opened up his eyes. I can’t thank you enough.

  • Grateful

    Thank you for showing there’s light at the end of the tunnel. When my husband and I are in a hard space coming to this podcast has been so helpful and reassuring for me. Truly love the honesty and truth -plus coming at things sometimes with a religious undertone. It’s been very helpful for me. Keep doing what your doing!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

His Betrayal Didn't Just Destroy Our Marriage—It Stole the Joy of Motherhood!
Q: Do you have any experience in your work with couples in betrayal trauma when it causes some sort of emotional shutdown in the partner that impacts bonding with her children?
The hosts describe emotional depletion and numbness as possible effects of prolonged trauma. They recommend separating trauma associations from the parent-child relationship, continuing personal healing, seeking support from other mothers and trusted people, and building connection through consistent moments of presence, affection, play, and responsiveness.
His Betrayal Didn't Just Destroy Our Marriage—It Stole the Joy of Motherhood!
Q: Can my attachment system be so ruptured by my husband's pornography use acting out in betrayal that it interferes with my connection with my child?
The hosts say chronic betrayal trauma can overwhelm a person's emotional system and make connection harder, but difficulty feeling love does not mean she is incapable of loving or that her child is destined for attachment problems. They encourage consistent loving actions, self-compassion, ongoing healing, and support.
How Unresolved Trauma Can DERAIL Recovery & Relationships!
Q: How can a betrayed partner approach a spouse whose unresolved trauma and withdrawal are affecting the relationship?
They suggest leading with vulnerability and concern about the spouse's well-being, inviting an honest conversation about how both partners are doing, while recognizing that one partner cannot force the other to open up or take responsibility.
How Unresolved Trauma Can DERAIL Recovery & Relationships!
Q: Can someone recover without support meetings, and after going into complete isolation?
The hosts say sobriety alone is not the same as emotional healing. Recovery connections and accountability matter, and unresolved trauma may require deeper work even after addictive behaviors stop.
Is it My Job to Educate My Addict Partner about My Betrayal Trauma & My Boundaries?
Q: Is it okay for me to not provide affection if safety is a question for me?
Yes. Safety overrides willingness to engage in intimacy; it's acceptable to pause affection until trust and safety are re-established.
