Deal With It\" (Sex and The Dismissive Avoidant Wife Podcast Series)","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1247,"description":"What should a husband do when his wife says, “I never want sex again. Deal with it”? This statement can create fear, anger, grief, and deep confusion. It can also force a couple to face a hard question about the future of their marriage.\nIn this episode, Bruce Abbott explains the difference between respecting your wife’s choice and abandoning your own needs. Your wife has the right to decide what happens with her body. You also have the right to decide whether you can remain in a permanently sexless marriage. Respect does not require silent acceptance.\nYou will learn why clarity must come before boundaries. A husband should first ask whether his wife is dealing with pain, hormones, stress, resentment, fear, or another temporary issue. He also needs to learn whether she has made a permanent decision and refuses to discuss or work on the sexual relationship.\nThis episode also explains the difference between a healthy boundary and a threat. A boundary does not say, “Have sex with me or else.” A boundary says, “I will not force you, but I must be honest about what I can accept in my marriage.” A Secure Husband speaks the truth, stays calm, and accepts that honest choices may have real consequences.\nBruce also discusses duty sex, sudden sexual attention after a divorce conversation, and the danger of using separation as a way to create fear or desire. The goal is not to force change. The goal is to gather facts, protect your integrity, and make decisions based on reality.\nThis episode does not claim that divorce is always the answer. It does explain why a husband should not promise to remain forever in a marriage that has removed sexual intimacy without mutual agreement. Healthy marriage requires honest communication, shared effort, and respect for both people.\nFREE AND LOW-COST SELF-GUIDED COURSES\nVisit securehusband.com/resources for free resources and low-cost courses that can help you stop chasing, build emotional strength, and begin becoming more secure.\nLEARN...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YJmHpXqr3wfrhL5fsdmtlNEm6ml1FboHb1lRAj0byEY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xM2Vj/NGY4MTMxZDhhNmE5/ZGI4YzVmMjNmZjRh/YWU4MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
