I give a lot of advice that seems to make no damn sense.
Guys are usually raring to do something…anything… when their wife starts acting a little squirrelly and wanting some space and independence.
And when it comes to a certain question, I always get resistance until the client actually implements the advice.
What’s the question?

How in the world can I get her back if I don’t talk to her?!?!
The problem is always the same.
He wants MUCH more than just to “talk to her”.
He wants to know every single thought she has. He wants an explanation for every little reaction. He wants clear and specific instructions on exactly what he needs to do NOW in order to get things back in order.
Not tomorrow. Right now, dammit.
Counter-Intuitive Coaching
My immediate advice is to breathe – very deeply – about 10 times.
The next 5 steps are:
1. Release the drag and let some line out. (immediately stop the fight)
2. Listen more than you talk…even if she isn’t talking.
3. Stop seeing her as a horrible, disloyal person who wants to hurt you. See deeper into her fear and anger – it’s not all about you.
4. Find a high quality friend/mentor you can confide in now and spend some time with.
5. Stay present, available, responsive and engaged. Don’t run off angry or make any rash decisions.
It’s SO tempting to want to FIX this now. You want information. You want feedback. You want to fix the KNOT in your stomach trying to tell you that you just might die.
Here’s the truth. You’re not going to die.

In fact, if you can just settle down long enough to get your head on straight, you’ll realize that you’re going to be just fine.
This is the perfect time to learn how a man handles these tests in life.
I talk about it more in this video.
We created the new online course How to Defuse the Divorce Bomb specifically for men in this situation.
If you’re a man who wants some IMMEDIATE RELIEF from the monkey chatter in your head, this course is for you. We recorded over 8 hours of custom coaching modules specifically for you.
A man currently taking the course sent us this review the other day:
“You really provide an excellent service. It’s fantastic when you get clarity and your system provides the support and guidance to keep me focused and on track – it’s sooo easy to go astray which is not a great place.”
Clarity. It’s king.
Clarity of thought. Clarity about your feelings. Clarity about what is REALLY happening so you can settle down and sleep.
Without clarity everything feels out of control.
Without clarity you feel like you’re on the uphill side of a seesaw with her sitting on the other side…just sitting there. And you’ve got no clue when/if she’ll let you down.
If this sounds familiar, How do Defuse the Divorce Bomb Course is for you. You will immediately join about 40 other guys currently going through the same thing. That’s 40 high quality men at your disposal in our private Facebook group and at our live Q&A sessions.
Of course, if you want personalized coaching and a more intense experience of personal transformation, we’re happy to talk with you about one-on-one coaching.
Most importantly, don’t go through this alone. There are WAY too many options for you to get help and WAY too many other men in the same boat who would love to meet you.
The Men’s Live Coaching Roundtable is a powerful collection of men from around the world working together to transform themselves and their relationships. Dan Dore and I lead this community with 5 other professional coaches. We have live coaching video calls twice per month. The camaraderie in this group is something missing from the lives of too many men in the world.
Our online course How to Defuse the Divorce Bomb is a deep and intense dive into handling yourself when you hear, “I love you but I’m not in love with you anymore.” Tim Wade and Steve host monthly live Q&A calls with all the students in this course which includes many other bonuses as well. Find out more here.
We love teaching men these tools – how to be better, how to know who you are, what you stand for, what you want and how to CREATE it in your life through our Masculine Confidence coaching programs.
