Afraid of Her Emotions: Stop Walking on Eggshells — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Do you walk on eggshells around your partner?
How much of your time is spent making sure she doesn’t get upset?
And why does avoiding the truth just make things worse in the long run?
Today Alyson and I talk about why so many guys feel powerful at work but ultimately feel like a wet noodle when they get home. We explore why someone else’s emotions have us give up our power, the reason this is a cancer to any relationship, and why any change is going to depend more on you than her.
In this conversation:
- Being scared of your wife’s emotions
- Doing whatever you’ve got to do to avoid upsetting her
- Hiding, withholding information, telling lots of little lies
- “Whatever you want, babe”
- Needing to justify/explain/defend decisions
Plus:
- Dealing with guilt, fear, and pity
- Unable to solve problems together
- Prioritizing truth over comfort
- Learning to recognize you’re being tested
- Waiting for permission to get what you want
