156 | What The Wife’s Betrayal Did to Her Husband's Body with GUEST Mike Moulton

⚠️ Content note: Mike shares that in the hours after discovering the affair, he thought about ending his life. He's years past that now, but we want you to know before you press play.

What is my husband actually going through? What does he need that he isn't saying? And what is all of this doing to his body?

Today's guest works on the other side of our story, and I asked him here on purpose.

Mike Moulton coaches men through betrayal and the decisions that follow. In February 2020 he found out his wife was having an affair. Four weeks later the pandemic cost him the job he'd just started. He stayed in his marriage for eighteen months. And seven months after the divorce finalized, he had a near-fatal heart attack.

We explore:

• What eighteen months of high cortisol did to him, 25 pounds lost, cigarettes that "became my friends," and a son who said "Dad, I just want you back"
• Why sex became about proving his manhood instead of intimacy
• How his journey uncovered that his relationship with his father (not the affair) was the core trauma underneath everything
• What his heart actually needed during that time- and how it’s the exact answer the women in my community give too
