Your Kids Remember Every Time You Didn't Show Up S4 Ep48

In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we take on some uncomfortable questions about marriage, trauma, love languages, communication, and what it actually means to feel loved by your partner. Can you support someone who has deep emotional walls without slowly abandoning yourself? What happens when you feel like you're carrying the relationship because your partner doesn't pursue you, initiate connection, or respond to your needs the way you want? We break down emotional withdrawal, relationship expectations, healthy boundaries, self-abandonment, trauma healing, love languages, and the difference between your partner not loving you and your partner simply loving you differently than you expect.

Then the conversation turns to fatherhood, co-parenting, custody, child support, and the choices divorced or separated parents make with the limited time they have with their children. Is taking a weekend away with your spouse selfish? What about giving up parenting time for hobbies, a band, or your own lifestyle? We talk about being a present father, balancing marriage and parenting, inconsistent parents, childhood abandonment, keeping your word to your kids, and why your children will ultimately decide what kind of parent you were based on how consistently you showed up. If you're working on your marriage, communication, parenting, emotional healing, or becoming a better husband, wife, father, or mother, this episode will challenge the stories you tell yourself about love and responsibility.
