Caller Questions & Discussion:
- Marc explains that sometimes one partner in a married couple takes sex off the table because they’re resentful and angry. But when sex is withheld, that feels like an abandonment. Sex is not for one person to suppress but for both to address.
- How do I deal with finding vulgar texts on my disabled girlfriend’s phone from a pastor? I help her with daily tasks. At first, she didn’t tell me the truth, but she now says the pastor forced her to have sex.
- My son just told me I couldn’t come into his house and that his wife and his granddaughter are his priority. My adult kids caused a rift in my marriage, and I’m divorced now. They treat me like an outcast. I need to let them go. How can I process this family conflict?
- I lost my husband of 21 years last year to pancreatic cancer and have a hard time moving on. I don’t like to go anywhere by myself, and I’m having a hard time having conversations with the opposite sex. How do I find a counselor?
- My wife says I don’t have her back. She makes smart remarks back to people and their remarks get very explicit. Then she asks me why I don’t say anything. How do I handle this?
