In this raw and unfiltered episode of You're Probably Right, we go straight into the heart of marriage and long-term relationships — when love feels one-sided. Drawing on real stories, timeless truths, and unspoken frustrations, this episode exposes why so many men and women feel disconnected under the same roof. We'll talk about silence, intimacy, negotiation, influence, and the lies modern culture feeds us about love. And along the way, we'll unpack how different men — Beta, Sigma, and Alpha — experience these struggles uniquely, and what it takes to bridge the gap before silence wins. This is not about blame. This is about truth. About survival. About choosing each other again, time after time.

Why do we keep circling back to the same kinds of partners, the same heartbreaks, the same endings — time after time?In this episode of You're Probably Right, we explore why good people often fall into bad love.

This episode borrows its title from one of the most famous songs of the '80s — a track so haunting and unforgettable it became a global anthem of longing. Years later, it was reimagined by The Notorious B.I.G., introducing a whole new generation to its power.But here's the question: Why does a song like that still resonate? Because we all know the feeling of watching, waiting, and wondering about someone who slipped out of our lives. Was he the one who got away, or just the one who broke you?In Episode 248 of You're Probably Right, we go beyond the lyrics, beyond the nostalgia, and into the real-life stories of love lost, heartbreak, and the myths we tell ourselves about “the one.”

In this episode of You're Probably Right, we dive deep into one of the toughest truths men face in dating: knowing when she's just not interested.For 44 minutes, I walk you through the signs most guys miss—signs that end up wasting months or even years of their lives. From canceled plans to cold body language, from endless “I'm busy” excuses to watching her flirt with someone else right in front of you, these are the red flags you can't afford to ignore.If you've ever found yourself chasing, over-explaining, or settling for scraps of attention, this episode is for you.Questions we explore in this episode:How do you know when she's canceling because she's busy… or because she just doesn't care?What does her phone say about her interest in you?Why do short, one-word texts matter more than you think?How can you tell the difference between “shy” and “avoiding intimacy”?What does her body language reveal that her words never will?Why is it a mistake to compete for her attention when she's flirting with others?What's the danger of ignoring these signs and staying too long?This isn't about shame—it's about clarity. The goal is to help you stop wasting time where it's not valued, and create space for real, genuine connection.

Conflict is inevitable — but unfair conflict can destroy love. In Episode 245 of You're Probably Right, we unpack 7 battle-tested rules that help couples argue without tearing each other apart. From learning to pause before reacting, to avoiding low blows, to repairing with “touch gloves,” these principles transform fights into opportunities for connection.Whether you're married, dating, or simply want healthier communication, this episode gives you a blueprint for fighting fair — so your relationship grows stronger instead of weaker.00:00 – Intro | Why fighting fair matters in love & marriage01:57 – The truth about conflict | It's not the fight, it's how you fight06:11 – Rule 1: Pause Before You Swing | The pause is power11:04 – Rule 2: Attack the Problem, Not the Person | Team first, not enemies14:12 – Rule 3: Keep the Fight in the Ring | Don't drag in old arguments16:50 – Rule 4: Respect the Referee (Boundaries) | Knowing when to call time-out22:23 – Rule 5: No Low Blows (Words That Scar) | Why some words never fade26:28 – Rule 6: Replay the Tape Together | Learning from conflict patterns27:42 – Rule 7: Touch Gloves, Reconnect | Rituals for repair & intimacy29:42 – Closing | Why fighting fair deepens lovefight fair in marriage, conflict resolution for couples, how to save a marriage, healthy arguments in relationships, husband and wife communication

Everyone says it: “Pull back your energy. Let them miss you. Stay silent and they'll value you more.” It's the advice plastered across TikTok, Instagram, and dating podcasts. But what if that's not power — what if it's avoidance?In this episode of You're Probably Right with MCM, I challenge the popular mantra of withdrawing your presence as a strategy in relationships. If you feel like a backup option, you don't need silence or games — you need communication. Real confidence isn't disappearing to test someone; it's speaking honestly, even if your voice shakes.We break down why emotional withdrawal isn't strength, how uncertainty doesn't create value, and why clarity beats scarcity-driven tricks every time. If you're tired of gimmicky relationship advice and want real talk about respect, connection, and maturity, this episode is for you.
