Emotional Neglect of Men: A Surefire Path to Infidelity

While not condoning affairs or infidelity, I want to help us understand how a wife's emotional neglect of her husband can make him weak and vulnerable to choices that go against his character and integrity.

"Every woman wants a good man, until they find one that requires them to be a better woman."
The way I see it, a woman who neglects her man is de facto cheating on him...with herself. She is reserving herself for herself. A relationship is supposed to be about giving to the other...not being a selfish narcissist.

[MegusKhan]

Good men fed in a marriage by sex, touch, respect, peace, and loyalty will NEVER cheat!

For years there was no better feeling in my life than to arrive home from a long hard day at work, and see that her car was not there... "She's not home!!"
Peace

[brianwalk]

For me it’s just wiping away the tears, getting out of the car and preparing for a night of hell. I never thought I’d hate my weekends off or be excited about escaping back to work on Monday.

We don’t talk about our emotions because we are sheltering our women from that stress. We just want to be acknowledged and appreciated. Thats all we need to keep going

I was telling my ex-wife how upset and sad I was about my toxic workplace, and she then used the opportunity to tell me how disappointed she was in me as her husband...

[electrifyingct]

I felt like a criminal in my own home. I would go out on 4+ hour drives through the countryside blaring music and screaming at the top of my lungs (knowing I felt like I was going insane)

8 months since the day I kicked her out of the house.... 8 months of loving being home, completely at peace, relaxed, calm, feeling safe.

My son feels safe in this home as well but the "law" won't allow him to live with me full time.

Not a single woman in my life has ever really validated me to any degree. Not even my own mother.

I will also add that our culture of chronic busyness wrecks havoc on our relationships. We never slow down to enjoy each other anymore. We fill our lives with so much bullshit and that's not how we're meant to live.

[cowboylisa]

Emotional neglect can also be years of silence on anything substantive. Hurts like hell.

A happy marriage from my perspective is a myth. I'm 63 divorced 2 years. Spent the last 15 years trying to make it work, make things right. Total waste of time and life. Still recovering. Never to marry again. I had turned into codependent disaster.
For today's young one's God help them.

Wom3n tell men to be "vulnerable" and share their feelings. But if they do, it will get weaponized and used against them later.

[Artfulmisfit]

This is exactly what i experienced every single time. Every night i went to bed or came home from work or even coming home from the store. I would never talk to her about how i felt because i was made to feel like i was a Neanderthal because i didnt talk about my feelings but when i did express myself then i was shamed, looked at as weak or abusive for not being ok with how i was being treated. The worst was the emotional retaliation...and still after being separated for 2yrs i still havent slept with another woman. God is who i drown myself in. With him i can let it alk out and there's no shame or retaliation.

[jonathanthorogood]

I don't even have the energy to engage in infidelity. I'm just sick of feeling like I have to jump through flaming hoops ... and still not get the attention, or respect, I need and desire.

[danielreynolds]

Been married 24 years, been left and filed on twice and both times every single thing was ALL my fault! I’ve been left with a bad case of PTSD and trauma, but I’m not supposed to mention that though. I can’t even begin to express my hurts! You should have read all the things that they thought of me in the last divorce papers! How can I not help but feel the way I do?!? 10 months after we decided to try and make our marriage work, the real truth came out. There was another man involved the entire time!

[Sir_Viver]

You described 22 years of marriage in the first 3 minutes of this video. Thank you!

[tidelovinyankee]

For thirty-two years my wife berated me for all manner of things. I was always wrong, never did enough, was not providing her with the emotional support she needed, but did not explain to me what she meant, nor did she give me examples. Whenever I needed something, I was being selfish, and my needs were not important. Then she developed cancer, and died...peace at last.

[ones]

I dated a woman for a very short time and it was like walking on eggshells when I got around her. She didn't bring peace just chaos.

[InTheDarkWood]

This hits home, makes a lot of sense

"Your feelings are wrong!" -my ex

[johng.]

This videos opening statement is priceless - "While not condoning affairs or infidelity, I want to help us understand how a wife's emotional neglect of her husband can make him weak and vulnerable to choices that go against his character and integrity." Yes!! When a man experiences a woman using his vulnerability against him... he often deals with it by making terrible choices for himself. It's the proverbial NO WIN situation.

[raamtselon]

Karyn, you are spot on.
Now, WHEN CHILDREN are in that marriage - the woman becomes a Mom and a different species...

Another point - when women connect with women, they tend to poison eachother against their men, more than correct or encourage.
