Men In Unhappy Marriages
Do you ever catch yourself saying stuff like this?
- Our marriage is struggling
- Our marriage is falling apart
- Our marriage is stuck
- Our relationship is going through tough times
- Our marriage isn’t in a happy place
- Our marriage isn’t sexual
- Our marriage is a sh*t show

They talk about their marriage like they’re watching a storm together.

They point out all things wrong with the marriage as if it is an entity separate from their own thoughts and behaviors. They blame the poor “marriage” for stinking up the place.
This is convenient. It’s keeps both of them from immediately thinking or doing anything differently at this very moment.
