Boys are brought up to shut off emotions: except for anger. So that leaves SO MANY men who cannot figure out what's wrong, why they're angry, sad, anxious, depressed, miserable. I honestly pray for all the men in the world. Showing ALL emotions is a beautiful and courageous thing ❤

@starlingswallow Год назад

Girls as well. I was taught this too, by example, punishments...and "Stop crying or I'll GIVE you something to cry about!" Seriously?? This told me that the reason I was crying was stupid, which meant I was stupid and that what I was upset about _didn't matter._ My emotions *didn't matter.* *I DIDN'T MATTER.* Good going parents. 👏🏻......👏🏻......👏🏻

@Matt-cr4vv 10 месяцев назад

Yeah it certainly is hard. Growing up my father struggled with issues with his anger but I would usually break into tears when it happened. And for awhile when I began my relationship with my wife 12 years ago for the first year or so I noticed that same anger coming from me. Luckily I woke up and saw what I was becoming and got that out of my behavior and don’t struggle with that anymore. But it took a lot of self awareness that the harm growing up that I hated so much was starting to come from me and that I needed to stop from becoming what I didn’t want to be. But it’s a challenge when you aren’t taught to process things in a healthy way but I also try to remember that my parents grew up with parents who were super angry and just were harsh with punishment which helps me to grasp the challenge of them teaching proper emotion. My dad had the anger but my mom didn’t and so it was milder than they had which in a way is a positive

@ae3209 Год назад

So his wife can't be mad about him hurting her 12 years ago, but he has no prob being mad at his parents from 40 years ago 🤔 ok

@toscadonna Год назад

She’s only mad at him for what happened 12 years ago, because he hasn’t changed one bit. He’s not even sorry for hurting her and refuses to apologize because it’s not “heart felt?”😂 He’s not sorry at all.

@Matt-cr4vv 10 месяцев назад

Yeah that’s hard to listen to and makes you question what hope there is. I get not wanting actions of the past hanging over your head or being used to guilt you when convenient and many times I think that’s fair to feel if you’ve apologized and done what you can to fix it. But the idea that it happened twelve years ago, you’re over it, and that now you can’t give a heart felt apology is concerning to me about what love or empathy there really is for his wife. Even if you’re over what you actually did at that time I would think you’d at least feel the need to apologize for the effects that are still felt by the woman you love and you’d feel remorse for the hurt that she still feels from it. I’m far from perfect but there are still things I did at the beginning of our relationship that I express regret and remorse for to my wife even now because it still hurts to think back to that tiem and remember the hurt it caused to her. So it’s striking to hear how he spoke of this but I think we can change but it requires some serious acceptance of how wrong you were and ownership. Once you get to that point of ownership of your actions the way you stop being so defensive over those things like he seems to be here. I hope he figures it out and let’s go of things he’s harboring because what Dr. D says about drinking the poison and hoping it hurts somebody else is extremely true. But I also hope he learns just how much freedom comes with that ownership and moving forward with things and how amazing your marriage becomes once you get there.

What I hear is a guy who is inwardly focused and trying to figure out how to be happy. In my experience, that is a recipe for unhappiness. He would do well to focus on his wife's needs instead of his own reasons for unhappiness. It might also help if he volunteered his time in organizations to help others, just to get out of his own head. His wife asked him for an apology, a simple thing to do, and instead of giving her one, gave her a reason it wouldn't feel right to him. He's convinced he can't change and as the saying goes: Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way you're right.

Marriage is WORK. Many couples say they have tried everything, and often that isn't true, there is something they could do to get the marital-fire blazing brighter than it's ever been, but one or both isn't wiling to do it. It isn't enough to have chemistry, both need connection and a passion for self-development.

The first caller has a lot of pain, anger, he's frustrated. He's probably not feeling well about himself. He doesn't feel like he deserves a better life. When you are told as a kid that you are a worthless, then you believe it. Also his wife wanted an apology, if he knows he's wrong, then why not apologize. My husband is the same way. I ask him, can you just apologize. He shakes his head like a 3 year old

@TLC717 Год назад

It's hard for many of us to comprehend that anyone might not feel love and empathy but there are ppl who do not feel these emotions. They are not capable of it. They learn how they are supposed to act by watching others. I think David sounds exhausted and doesn't want to deal with it because he knows he doesn't feel what he needs too. I think he probably knows it will be constant work and maybe he doesn't have the energy to be someone he's not. I don't recall him saying he doesn't want a divorce because he loves his wife. I don't recall him talking about love at all. If the ppl in his life can't accept this, he'll end up alone. These are just opinions I have from being married to someone who has no empathy and I really don't think he feels love like most of us. My husband can't give me what he isn't capable of so I'll either accept it or let it end our marriage. Listening to this call was like listening to my own story. I thought I could break through my husband's tough guy exterior but it's almost impossible when it's interior as well.

Maybe he has and I'm not aware he's trying because he simply is incapable of expressing his feelings. I even question if he feels love, real love, for anyone.

@tonipetrova Год назад

To the caller: From the little you mention about your family, I feel that your family felt shame and guilt over whatever happened with your brother. Many times people associate with the actions of other family members. If your brother did something wrong, then you may think you are bad, because you are related. I think that feeling of guilt was passed down to the rest of the family members. Also, I may be wrong, but I feel that your family is not the kind of people who express their feelings, show their love, or talk openly and somehow you were missing a deeper emotional connection with them. I feel that now you feel empty, in a sense you can't give love and be caring to your wife and kids, when you felt neglected as a kid. The anger issue is many times associated with feeling powerless. Anger can be managed, there are many self-awareness techniques, so you can exercise control of our actions, so you can channel our emotions in a non-violent and healthy way. To me the greatest issue is this feeling of not happy with what you have. You have a lot of blessings, you have your health, your family, kids, a job... What is that you don't have? Is there a missing piece, that if you find, it will make you value what you have now? They say love what you have before life teaches you to love what you lost. I hope you find help that can guide you. Best of luck.

I figured out that holding on to the mistakes our parents made is never a solution for anything. My parents made a lot of mistakes and for years I blamed them for certain behaviors I had as a parent and a wife. But as I’ve gotten older I realized that not only do I make the same mistakes sometimes but now I’m in their shoes and I realize how hard it probably was for them as it is for me at times. Dr. Emerson Eggerich has this great line that really helped me “your response is your responsibility”. Realizing that I am accountable for my own sins and actions and that The Lord holds me accountable for them and I have to stop blaming my parents or my kids or my spouse for MY behavior. Remembering that apart from my upbringing I have a sinful nature, sinful desires, sinful thoughts that I have to be accountable for and they have to be brought under the submission of Christ EVERYDAY, and for those days when I do screw up He reminds me of His enduring grace and His grace sustains me. His grace reminds me that joy comes in the morning. That even if I screwed up an hour ago, I can go to my kids or spouse and apologize for my behavior and ask for their forgiveness and vis versa.

@Matt-cr4vv 10 месяцев назад

It’s hard to not hold the mistakes our parents made against them but I think as we grow we understand that we can’t do that. When I was younger (17-19 or so) I noticed that I had the quick anger that my father had growing up that I absolutely didn’t ever want to have. Luckily I eventually caught on to what I was doing and worked through it and now at 29 that doesn’t exist for me and it’s hard to even grasp what it used to be. To the point that when people who know me now hear about that stage of life are surprised because they can’t see it. But letting go of where they fell short is one of the most freeing things you get when you recognize they were human and did their best. I now have a great relationship with them that’s healthier than it’s ever been but that would’ve never happened if I stayed locked into the times they fell short.

Parenting comes with unsolvable problems. Like going back into the past and trying to fix your future, there is bound to be other unintended consequences. It’s so difficult to raise something a complex as a little human being. Too many variables, so we just do the best we can and realize our parents did too.

He wants to control everything and can't except he was not able to control the past to prevent what happened to his brother he taking responsibility for things that are not his fault. He has no room in he's life for anything else

I know it's not ok to be judgmental and stuff, but i can feel the narcissism: the fragile ego, the yoyo self-esteem, the reactivity, the lack of accountablity for his own wrongdoings ("get over it"), the gaslighting (accusing others of stuff they didn't do but are unsure, just to shake them), blaming others, etc. He acts like an asshole, he's semi-aware of it, but it's all "poor me", "i can't do it", "i am not good enough", through the video, and yikes. All he's interesting in transfering his shame and guilt to somebody else: "my wife won't believe me", like the problem is his wife not giving him a second chance, and not him actually doing something and showing it to his wife. I doubt there is a way to reach him, i don't think he wants to be reached and stand up at that point, he wants to be pitied and have the world bend to his whims and tantrums

Why is "The Graduate" in the background? It's definitely an interesting story in terms of the mental health of the characters, But also quite messed up decisions made by said characters.

Good on him for trying to figure things out, but he needs a LOT of work and a healthy dose of self awareness

When it comes to family, you can’t pick and choose who your family are because your blood related but you can’t pick and choose who you let in and out of your life when it comes to family if they don’t bring value to your life and all they do is steal your inner peacethey’re not valuable enough to be in your inner bubble

i think because Dr. John also sensed his anger, as does the caller’s wife, it became more of a fact (he’s angry) rather than just an opinion

13:19 why wouldn’t you mean that? Maybe because that would mean taking accountability for his actions? His fragile ego can’t handle admitting that the change he wants is in himself
