You try hard to fix things. You give, you ask, you wait. But your wife still feels distant—especially when it comes to sex. If that sounds familiar, this episode may explain why.

We’re talking about preoccupied attachment—a hidden pattern where your self-worth depends on how your wife responds to you. You might think your love is strong, but if it’s driven by anxiety and fear, it may be pushing her away instead of bringing her closer.

In this episode, Bruce Abbott breaks down:

✔️ What preoccupied attachment looks like in men
✔️ How it shows up in small, everyday behaviors
✔️ Why you might be drawn to emotionally distant partners
✔️ How this pattern kills sexual attraction
✔️ What happens when you stop chasing and start growing
✔️ How to build a life where you feel strong, even if she stays distant

This episode isn’t about blame—it’s about taking back your power. You don’t have to chase her. You don’t have to beg for closeness. You can become secure in who you are. And when you do, everything shifts.
