Episode 16 - What Women Should Know About Men in Dating and Relationships

In this episode, Pete is in the hot seat answering questions Georgia has been hearing time and time again from women who are struggling to understand their partners in relationships and dating.

We unpack the patterns that quietly play out between men and women in modern relationships, ones that often lead to confusion, miscommunication, emotional disconnect, and cycles that feel hard to break.

We explore what’s actually happening beneath the surface for men in relationships: why they can feel open and engaged one moment and then distant or shut down the next, why conflict often leads to withdrawal or defensiveness, and why so many women end up feeling like they’re holding more of the emotional weight.

We Dive Into:

Why men can struggle to stay emotionally grounded and present in relationships
The push–pull dynamic that shows up between connection and withdrawal
What’s happening internally for men during emotional conflict
Why communication breaks down even when there is care on both sides
Emotional availability vs emotional capacity — and why they’re not the same
Why women often end up feeling unseen, unheard, or over-responsible
What actually supports real change and growth in men (and what doesn’t)
The unconscious patterns both men and women bring into relationships
