Dad Starting Over

This letter hit hard.

A woman writes in to share her story: 20 years of marriage. Zero sex. She thought he had a medical issue. Turns out, he was sleeping with nearly 100 sex workers behind her back. And now… he wants to reconcile.

In this video, I break down what’s really going on here—from the psychology behind sex addiction and shame, to the heartbreaking reality of codependency and emotional devastation.

This story isn’t just about one woman’s pain. It’s a wake-up call for both men and women trapped in toxic dynamics.
