Men ask me all the time: “Why can't I stop thinking about her past?” You know she had a life before you… but that doesn't stop your brain from obsessing over every ex, every hookup, every “what if.”This is retroactive jealousy. And it's more common — and more damaging — than most guys realize.In this episode, I'll explain the science behind it, how it messes with your head, and what you can do to finally get some peace. This isn't about shaming you. It's about helping you understand your own mind — so you can stop sabotaging something good.
Why does it feel like the therapist is always on your case, even when your wife is the one shutting down emotionally?In this video, I explain why anxious men—like many of you—end up being the focus in therapy sessions... and it's not because the therapist is against you. It's because you're actually the one most likely to change and grow.We'll talk science, psychology, and real-life patterns I've seen in hundreds of men who come to Help For Men. I'll walk you through:Why anxious men are more likely to do the workWhy avoidant women tend to resist therapyWhat the data says about who actually becomes secureHow your own healing can change the relationship—or your entire lifeIf you're tired of dragging your wife to therapy while getting all the blame, this one's for you.✅ Join the Brotherhood today: https://helpformen.com/join✅ Read The Dead Bedroom Fix: https://deadbedroomfix.com

A lot of men joke about single women dying alone with 12 cats... but here's the truth: that's projection.Men are facing a loneliness crisis. We isolate ourselves, chase careers across the country, let friendships die, and pretend we're fine being “lone wolves.” Then we wake up in our 40s, 50s, and 60s and realize—we've built a resume, not a life.In this video, I break down why so many men end up disconnected, how modern culture pushes us to go it alone, and most importantly—what we can do about it.If you're tired of the silence and ready to start building real connection again, you're not alone. This is your wake-up call.
Loneliness and emotional isolation are crushing men over 40 today, stealing health, purpose, and connection. Too many are left stuck after divorce, heartbreak, or the loss of a partner, unsure how to rebuild relationships or even where to begin.In this episode, I sit down with Kavita Ajwani, one of the world's most trusted dating psychologists and human behavior specialists, to uncover what's really holding men back and how to move forward with confidence, integrity, and self-respect.This conversation will challenge the way you see dating, relationships, and connection, and give you the tools to stop letting heartbreak and emotional repression control your life.Enjoy the episode.Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Platform:https://over40alphapodcast.com/ Subscribe and Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6LbGE6ySH5VlIQ8LosKpVG Subscribe and Listen on iTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Timestamps:00:00 - Intro05:26 - Kavita's journey into helping men find love and confidence07:04 - Patterns men repeat after divorce or loss12:07 - First steps before jumping into dating again14:10 - Overcoming fear and failure in relationships19:53 - Why men are lonelier than ever22:37 - Steps to break out of isolation30:50 - Vulnerability as a strength and not a weakness38:15 - All about Kavita's program42:57 - Heartbreak, rejection, and the toll on your health48:03 - Why pride and presentation matter52:10 - The impact of smiling and dating on TV shows58:03 - Kavita's special free masterclass offer for the audienceJOIN THE BROTHERHOODIf you're over 40 and ready to reclaim your strength, confidence, and purpose, this is your tribe.✅ Built for men 40+✅ Strength-based workouts + simple, flexible nutrition✅ Real coaching.

Most men carry shame. But they don't talk about it—especially when it comes to sex.They were raised to be "good boys," "nice guys," and "respectful partners"... but underneath that, many are dealing with something toxic: sexual shame. It wrecks their confidence. It kills their desire. And it silently poisons their relationships.In this video, I break down how sexual shame develops in men, how it fuels codependency and dead bedrooms, and what it takes to finally own who you are as a man—without guilt, without apology.
Dating after divorce is a minefield—and if you haven't been single since your twenties, you're stepping into a completely different world.In this video, I break down what actually happens when men re-enter the dating market after a long-term relationship. I cover the emotional aftermath of divorce, the brutal realities of modern dating apps, what women are looking for now, and how to rebuild yourself into a man who wins in today's dating world.This isn't about cheesy pickup lines or pretending to be something you're not. This is about becoming the kind of man who attracts quality women—because he's done the work.✅ What we'll cover:Why dating today is nothing like it used to beThe most common mistakes divorced men makeWhat modern women are REALLY looking forHow to flirt, vet, and build real connection againHow to avoid getting used, scammed, or heartbroken all over again
Are you over 40, newly single, and wondering if you're really ready to dive back into the dating world?
Every man has felt it—that wild rush of lust, energy, and connection in the beginning of a relationship. You can't stop thinking about her. You're having sex like teenagers. It feels like you finally “found the one.”That's the honeymoon stage… and it's biology.In this episode, I break down what's really going on inside your body (and hers) during the early phase of a relationship—dopamine, oxytocin, testosterone, all of it. But more importantly, I explain why it doesn't last… and what happens after the chemicals fade.If you're struggling in a sexless marriage or wondering where the passion went—this will make sense of everything.
In this Dear DSO, a military husband opens up about his wife emotionally and physically checking out of their marriage. After three kids, mood swings, and now being on SSRIs for anxiety, she's not the same woman he married. No sex for nine months. He does 95% of the parenting while she's glued to her phone and in nursing school. Is he being anxious… or is it time to walk?We talk about the mental health toll, the “mom bot” transformation, the impact of meds on libido, and what men in this position can realistically do. You're not alone.
A 65-year-old woman wrote in with a gut-wrenching story. After 42 years of being married to a man who never listens, never remembers their anniversary, and always puts his own priorities first, she's wondering if it's time to finally walk away.She's tried everything—even picked up The Dead Bedroom Fix hoping for one last Hail Mary. But this story? It's way too familiar. Men, if you think women don't deal with this kind of thing too, think again.Let's talk about what happens when you realize—after decades—that the person you're with isn't going to change.

In this Dear DSO submission, a man reaches out from the middle of an eight-year sexless marriage. He's passive, anxious, and paralyzed by confusion—and he's not alone. So many men fall into this trap.In this episode, I walk through his message and break down what's really going on here: the anxious attachment, the avoidant wife, the therapy cycles that go nowhere, and the desperation that leads men to stay stuck for years. I also bring up a common thread I see in my community: many of these guys are neurodivergent—autistic, ADHD, or OCD—and they bond fast and deep, which makes walking away feel impossible.If this sounds like your story, you're not crazy—but you do need help. Watch to the end to hear what this man should do next—and what you can do if you're stuck too.
Seventeen years of marriage. Three kids. Nice house. Dead bedroom for almost a decade. Then, during an argument, she looks him in the eye and says the words that'll haunt him forever: “I'm just not attracted to you anymore.”No yelling. No drama. Just a calm, matter-of-fact gut punch.This is what happens when a woman has emotionally and physically checked out — and finally wants you to get the message. In today's Dear DSO submission, I break down why this happens, what it really means, and what your options are when your wife finally says what she's been feeling for years.This one hits hard.
Why do so many women in long-term relationships cheat—and often with men who seem like total losers?In this video, I break down the science behind two popular theories about female infidelity: the Mate Switching Hypothesis and the Dual Mating Strategy. One of these is more “romantic.” The other is... well, it's the one most men fear deep down.We'll look at the latest research—including a 2024 study co-authored by Macken Murphy—and how it lines up with what I've heard from thousands of men in sexless marriages or reeling from betrayal.This is hard to hear. But if you want real answers, here they are.Join The HFM Brotherhood!

So many men ask me the same question: "How do I know when I've done enough?" They've put in the work. They've read the books. They've hit the gym, led with strength, stayed patient—and still… she avoids connection.In today's Dear DSO, Alejandro writes in with a story that I've heard far too many times. A disconnected wife. Years of emotional avoidance. A man trying to fix things alone.I break it all down—how much responsibility is really on the man… and when it's okay to say: “I've done all I can.”
A husband finds out—after 12 years of marriage and two kids—that he was never his wife's first choice. After a night of drinks and a fight, she admitted she "settled" for him and still thinks about her college ex.This is brutal. And it's more common than you think.In this video, I break down his story, talk about what's really going on in situations like this, and explain why some women end up choosing comfort over passion... until it all boils over.If you're a man trying to make sense of your relationship, sex life, or identity as a husband and father… you're not alone.
Margo and I have a long list of the things that we love about one another, but we're not going to pretend that there's a list of things that we don't like. In fact, her words are "the most unattractive thing that you do" to be exact! I had no idea that sitting accross from one another and exchanging things that we aren't necessarily a fan of was a relationship goal of mine, but here we are. Grateful that we've grown to the point where this can take place without insecurity or a desire to take personal jabs taking over. We spend most of our time celebrating one another and sharing the things that we love, so we had a little fun humbling one another for close to an hour!
What happens when your marriage ends but the rest of your life is still waiting for you to show up? In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I sit down with Valerie Simms, a divorce coach who blends financial expertise with emotional and spiritual support. Whether you're contemplating divorce, navigating it now, or still feeling stuck years later, this conversation will remind you that you're not broken—and you're definitely not alone. Valerie shares what most people get wrong about divorce recovery, why your friends and family may not be the best place to turn for advice, and how to start rebuilding your identity from the ground up. If you've ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “I don't even know who I am anymore,” this one's for you. We talk about the practical side of post-divorce life (hello, finances), but we also explore the deeper emotional shifts that come with letting go and starting over. It's part pep talk, part permission slip—and all grounded in real talk. About Valerie Simms: Valerie is a passionate coach dedicated to empowering women through transformative money mindset coaching. With a wealth of expertise, she guides her clients to achieve financial independence by shifting their perspectives from scarcity to abundance.

In this Dear DSO episode, I respond to a man who saw the signs early on—but kept going. She told him who she was from the beginning. The problem? He didn't listen.We talk about the consequences of ignoring red flags, the fantasy that keeps men trapped, and why your gut instinct is often your best guide.If you've ever thought, “I should've known better,” this one's for you.Join The HFM Brotherhood!
Today's Dear DSO submission is from a neurodivergent man—he's got ADHD, a lot of anxiety, and not much dating experience. He feels like he's defective, like he'll never figure out how to talk to women or attract them. He sent in a long list of brutally honest questions:“How do I feel confident when women have all the power?”“How do I not look needy just by showing interest?”“Do normal guys really know what they're doing?”This one hit hard, and I think a lot of men—especially autistic or ADHD guys—are going to relate.In this video, I break down where these feelings of shame come from, why experience and repetition are more powerful than any pickup advice, and how to start small and work your way up. This isn't about fake confidence. This is about getting real, falling on your face, and standing back up.
Still scared of dating again after divorce? You're not alone—and this episode is your roadmap back to self-trust.In this raw, insightful conversation, host Erica chats with NYC-based relationship and dating coach Christina King about why so many women fall back into the same dating traps after leaving toxic marriages. Together, they break down the emotional rollercoaster of reentering the dating world—swiping fatigue, trust issues, self-worth, and that terrifying moment you realize: "Wait... am I repeating old patterns?"From setting dating app boundaries to manifesting your ideal partner (without falling for another walking red flag), this episode is packed with real talk and real tools for rediscovering what you actually want in love.If you've ever doubted your gut, lost your confidence, or dated someone just because they gave you butterflies—this one's for you.
Most men don't see it coming—until their marriage is on life support.One day she's your best friend and lover… the next, she's distant, irritable, and completely checked out. You think you did something wrong. You didn't.In this video, I break down the biological and psychological changes that happen during menopause—how they affect your wife, your relationship, and what you can do about it. This is a wake-up call for every man who wants to stay married in midlife.Join The HFM Brotherhood!
In this Enough is Enough Podcast episode, Dr. David Clarke gives more dating advice, this time discussing dating after a narcissist.

This one's brutal. A 36-year-old man marries a 49-year-old woman who insisted they wait until marriage for sex. Two years in, he's still never touched her. No sex. No intimacy. Nothing.He's confused, frustrated, and finally waking up after reading The Dead Bedroom Fix.This is a classic case of mismatched libidos, avoidant behavior, and religious guilt. If you're in a sexless relationship and wondering, "Is this normal?"—watch this.✉️ Got a story to share? Submit it at https://deardso.com
Mr. K wrote in with a story that's, sadly, all too familiar. He blames himself for a relationship that was dysfunctional from day one. She showed no attraction. She weaponized sex. She even stopped showering to repel him — and kept a log of when he initiated.He thinks he's the problem.But here's the truth: Some relationships are doomed from the beginning. And some men — especially anxious or neurodivergent men — miss every red flag because they're too busy blaming themselves.In this Dear DSO episode, I walk through Mr. K's situation and what it reveals about codependence, attraction, and the importance of walking away when a woman shows you who she is. If you've ever wondered, “What did I do wrong?”… this one's for you.⚠️ Want to submit your own story? Go to https://deardso.com
Have you ever looked back at a relationship and thought, “What the hell was that?”You were loyal. Honest. Steady. She was chaos.This happens all the time to autistic men—diagnosed or not. They end up in emotionally volatile relationships with women who may have traits of borderline personality disorder. These women are intense, manipulative, unpredictable… and the autistic man, with his calming and consistent energy, is the perfect target.In this video, I explain why this dynamic happens, what signs to watch for, and how to protect yourself from getting trapped in a relationship that feels more like emotional warfare than love.▶️ Need support?

Join Karen McMahon's High Conflict Divorce Support Group—a 6-session group coaching program designed to help you manage triggers, set boundaries, and take back control. -- 2024 cracked me open. It was one of the hardest years I've lived through—personally and professionally. I felt misaligned with my values, burned out in my work, and disconnected from the joy and freedom I preach to others. But in the summer, I read The Big Leap, and something shifted. I started a year-long commitment to stepping into my Zone of Genius, facing my Upper Limit Problems head-on, and saying YES to what scared me most… and life hasn't been the same since. In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of my Big Leap year. I talk about dating again after a decade (gulp!), redefining fun, getting back on my bike (and maybe soon my rollerblades), losing 15 pounds not from restriction, but from celebrating myself differently. I share how I moved from wine on weekdays to novels on the beach, from overworking to letting my work flow from joy. I even caught myself starting arguments in my head—just to feed my old programming. The self-awareness has been wild...and so freeing. And yes, we talk business too. I had tantrums. I doubted. But I kept moving forward. I've reconnected with the why behind Journey Beyond Divorce, and am reimagining the how. I'm sharing what's lighting me up: podcasting, group programs, deep partnerships, and creating space for you to take your Big Leap too. This isn't just my story—it's an invitation for you to leap right alongside me.

In this Dear DSO submission, Richie asks a brutally honest question: What do you do when your wife is on SSRIs, has no sex drive, and has basically shut down in the bedroom?He's not alone. A lot of men are quietly struggling with this. Kids, careers, medication, depression—it all adds up. And many men are left wondering if they're crazy for wanting more. You're not.In this video, I break down what SSRIs actually do to your sex life, how to approach the conversation with your wife, and when it's time to either accept the reality… or walk away.
In this episode of Dear DSO, a man named Mark writes in about the pain of being stuck in a long-term, sexless marriage. He's done the work—therapy, self-improvement, romantic gestures—but his wife still shows zero interest. Now he's wondering: Should he blow up the family just to feel loved again?This one hits hard, and it's a story I hear all the time. If you've ever felt like a ghost in your own home… like you're just the guy who pays the bills and takes out the trash… this video is for you.I'll walk you through what I call The Final Talk—a direct, compassionate, no-BS way to confront the situation and take back your self-respect.

I hear from a lot of men who fall hard for a woman… and then she starts pulling away. Hot one minute, cold the next. Is it an avoidant attachment style—or is she just not that into you?In today's Dear DSO episode, we break down Paul's situation. He's stuck in the push-pull dynamic with a woman who's triggering every anxious bone in his body. I explain why this dynamic is so damn addictive… and what it says about him that he's still holding on.If you've ever felt stuck trying to “figure her out,” this one's for you.

Are you dating someone who's aligned with your values—or just your current priorities? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with personal development coach and author Nick Brancato for a conversation that hit way too close to home—in the best way. We're talking about dating post-divorce and how to actually determine if someone is truly compatible for the long haul (even if everything feels fine on the surface). If you've been wondering whether your current relationship is really going anywhere—or if you're just settling because it's “comfortable”—this episode is for you.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Matthew sits down with Laurie Woolever—author of Care and Feeding: A Memoir—to explore the journey of reclaiming one's voice after years of living in the shadow of larger-than-life figures like Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali. Topics covered: Why Laurie finally chose to write her memoir after decades in food media. What it's like to stop headlining other people's lives and start showing up in your own. Her path through addiction, shame, and sobriety—and how it shaped her. The emotional toll and moral complexity of writing honestly about people she's loved. The collapse of a marriage and the ripple effects of one deeply vulnerable moment. Infidelity, accountability, and what radical self-acceptance really looks like. Why “nice but boring” often hides deeper emotional safety—and how to spot a mature relationship. Dating in your 40s and beyond. What “playing the tape forward” teaches us about addiction, impulse, and the allure of red flags. Advice for people stuck in toxic attraction loops or mourning heartbreak they fear they'll never get over. Whether you're grappling with heartbreak, questioning your worth, or trying to navigate the messy terrain of self-reinvention, this episode will feel like a conversation with someone who's lived it and survived to tell the truth.
