Why do men shut down — and what does it silently cost them in love, connection, and life? In this episode, I sit down with therapist Eli Weinstein to unpack the emotional avoidance pattern that's quietly destroying relationships — especially after kids arrive. We go deep on why men are conditioned to bottle emotions instead of expressing them, how resentment in marriage builds in silence, and the specific moment most couples disconnect without even realising it. Eli shares the brutal truth about the "honesty paradox" — why women ask for emotional openness in men, then punish them when they get it. We also dig into why therapy for men can sometimes make things worse when it's used as a shield instead of a tool for real change. If you're feeling distant from your partner, stuck in cycles of conflict, or you've noticed that having kids changed something you can't name — this conversation is for you. Eli Weinstein, LCSW, is the therapist bringing heart and humor back to mental health. A loving husband and proudly goofy dad of two, Eli is based in Las Vegas and runs a thriving practice serving clients across New York, Nevada, and beyond through his global coaching work. Known for his straight-talking, relatable style, he's the creator of ELIvation and host of The Dude Therapist podcast, where he dives into the messy, beautiful mix of relationships, parenting, and emotional growth. An international speaker and sought-after guest, Eli has been featured on over 250 podcasts and major media outlets including The Kelly Clarkson Show, Psychology Today, and leading relationship and parenting platforms. His debut book, From I Do to We Do: Navigating Marriage Through Parenting Years (Wiley, 2026), helps couples stay connected when life gets loud. Eli's mission is simple: make therapy-level wisdom feel human, hopeful, and real.   Key Topics: ⭐ Why Couples Fight ⭐ The Art Of Repair ⭐ Emotional Safety ⭐ Modern Masculinity ⭐ Unmet Relationship Needs ⭐ Taking Feedback Well ⭐ Deep Listening Skills ⭐ The Power Of Vulnerability ⭐ Being Fully Present ⭐ Rebuilding Connection   Connect With David - The Authentic Man: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Eli Weinstein :  Eli Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliweinstein_lcsw/ Eli Website:https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/ Podcast: https://linktr.ee/dudetherapist   emotional avoidance men ,  resentment in marriage ,  avoidant attachment men ,  resentment in relationships ,  avoidant attachment style ,  relationship communication ,  emotional unavailability men , the authentic man podcast  therapy for men , marriage advice, avoidant attachment, men and emotions, men emotional shutdown, male emotional avoidance, marriage conflict resolution, intimacy after baby, men mental health, emotional distance in marriage emotional suppression men, men shutting down in relationships, why men don't talk, men bottling emotions, healthy masculinity relationships, relationship coach for men, men's podcast relationships, men vulnerability, men in their 40s relationships, authentic masculinity, 30s men, 40s men   RELATE:   

Amy is joined once again by fan-favorite guest Eli Weinstein, making his second appearance on the Expecting & Empowered podcast! A longtime supporter of the show and author of From I Do to We Do, Eli brings his signature blend of honesty, humor, and practical wisdom to a conversation about marriage during the busy years of raising young children. Together, Amy and Eli explore what it takes to stay connected as a couple when life feels all-consuming with its never ending mental load of parenthood.One of the central themes of the conversation is the importance of shifting from a “me” mindset to a “we” mindset. Eli explains why keeping score in a relationship - tracking who did more chores, who got less sleep, or who is carrying more of the load - can create resentment, communication breakdowns, and disconnection over time. Instead, he encourages couples to work as a team by openly communicating their needs and sharing responsibilities. Amy and Eli discuss the powerful connection between movement and mental health, especially during demanding seasons of parenthood. They explore how taking care of physical health can positively impact emotional well-being, stress management, and relationships. The conversation highlights the importance of small, intentional moments of connection between partners and how seemingly simple gestures can strengthen a marriage during the years when time and energy are often in short supply. He shares a list of ideas you can implement into your relationship!The episode wraps with a thoughtful discussion on navigating relationships with extended family and establishing healthy boundaries with in-laws. Filled with practical tools, relatable examples, and encouraging reminders, this conversation offers couples actionable ways to strengthen their partnership and remember that they are on the same team through every season of family life.If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @eliweinstein_lcsw and @expectingandempowered.

In this insightful episode, Eli Weinstein, relationship therapist, author, and host of The Dude Therapist podcast, joins the conversation to unpack the realities of modern parenting and partnership. Drawing from his work and his book From I Do to We Do: Navigating Marriage In The Parenting Years, Eli explores the often-overlooked transition from being a “dude” to a fully engaged dad, and why parenting works best when it's approached as a true team effort. He sheds light on how unspoken expectations can quietly build resentment between partners, and why shifting from an “us vs. them” mindset to a united front is essential for a healthy family dynamic. Throughout the conversation, Eli emphasizes the power of open communication, emotional awareness, and mutual support in navigating both parenting and relationships. He discusses the importance of creating a “protective bubble” around the partnership, acknowledging the emotional load carried by both parents, and finding a version of balance that works for your unique family, rather than comparing to others. With honesty and practical insight, this episode serves as a reminder that strong relationships don't just happen; they're built through intentional effort, understanding, and a commitment to doing the work together.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana sits down with therapist and author Elijah Weinstein to talk about the quiet drift that happens in marriages when kids enter the picture. From unspoken expectations and the myth of empathy to practical tools like the import/export list and full communication, he shares honest and actionable lessons on how to stop growing apart and start showing up for each other again.

Elijah's book, From I Do to We Do, is available starting March 17, 2026. Find it and all the links at eliweinsteinlcsw.com, or connect with him on Instagram at @eliweinstein.lcsw.

If you've ever looked at your partner in the parenting trenches and thought, “Wait… who are you—and what happened to us?” this episode is for you. Dr. John sits down with Eli Weinstein—therapist, no-BS truth-teller, and author of From I Do to We Do (out March 2026)—to unpack why couples drift after kids… and how to rebuild the “we” without buraning the whole house down. You'll hear the real stuff:  why new dads can love their kids but not always like them (and why that doesn't make you a monster),  how men get trapped between “be strong” and “be emotional,”  and what happens when a partner asks for feelings… then punishes vulnerability.  John and Eli also dig into the heavy reality therapists carry—especially with suicidal clients—and the skill of caring deeply without being crushed by it. The practical gold is Eli's “holy trinity” for relationship peace: expectations, perceptions, and reality—plus a simple daily check-in that prevents 90% of avoidable fights (Listen to discover this cheat code!). Add in “assume positive intent,” “treasure hunt” for what your partner does right, and a mindset shift toward rewarding effort over outcome—and you've got a blueprint for staying connected when life is chaos. Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?

Eli Weinstein, couples therapist and author of the upcoming book From I Do to We Do: Navigating Marriage in Parenting Years, joins me to talk about what really happens to a relationship after kids.   Together we explore:   - Why parenthood doesn't just add stress, it reactivates attachment patterns and old wounds in both partners. - What's really happening when you keep having the same fight on repeat, and how to begin spotting the deeper need beneath it. - How mental load, feeling unseen, and constant "downloading" logistics quietly erode connection and build resentment. - The difference between "we made up" and actually repairing what keeps breaking. - How couples get stuck in "gridlock arguments" and what helps uncover what's really driving the conflict. - The role overstimulation and nervous system overload play in reactivity at home. - Practical ways couples can reset and regrow in this new season, without waiting for more time, sleep, or perfect circumstances   This episode is designed to help you feel less alone in the mess of marriage after kids, and more confident about what actually helps couples stay connected, communicate better, and find their way back to each other.       LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

I welcome therapist, podcast host and author Eli Weinstein onto the show this week to talk all about how couples struggle to communicate after having their first baby and how to find your way back. After having a baby so many couples find themselves exhausted and blaming each other for everything. They lose the love and consideration that used to be there and wonder if she should still be together. It's not something they tell you when you get pregnant, that's for sure. We get into the weeds with how to find your way back to communicating with your partner, feeling validated within the relationship and even taking a look at mens postpartum. This conversation isn't just for new parents though. This is for couples who need help finding how to communicate together again or even for the first time. In Eli's book, From I Do to We Do: Navigating Marriage in Parenting Years (due out in March 2026) he discusses what really happens to our partnerships after kids, why even the strongest couples hit unexpected friction, and how we can rebuild connection, intimacy, and teamwork without adding more “to-dos” to already overwhelmed lives.

On this episode of The Dude Therapist, I joined Eli Weinstein for a conversation that moved through so many parts of real-life parenting — the worries, the humor, the triggers, and the growth that comes with raising kids. We talked about why parents get so locked into metrics, how to zoom out and see the whole child, and what it looks like to pause, observe, and guide instead of jumping in. I shared how becoming a mom shifted my own approach, from sleep to feeding to managing my triggers, and why self insight matters just as much as the strategies we offer our kids. It was an honest, grounded chat about raising kids while raising ourselves too.  We discuss: Why parents get stuck on numbers like weight percentiles and milestones. How giving kids space to try and struggle helps them grow. How boredom supports play and problem solving. How a parent's own childhood shapes reactions and triggers. What healthy boundaries look like without shame or fear. How to handle online misinformation with calm and clarity. The importance of steady check-ins and flexible routines at home.

We've had Eli Weinstein on the podcast before (episode 182), where we focused on the postpartum period. Today, we're talking about the next phase of parenthood—one that brings its own growing pains, relationship shifts, and a whole new set of expectations.In his new book, Eli introduces the “holy trinity” of relationships: expectations, perception, and reality. He walks us through how easy it is for these three to get misaligned. One example almost every parent can relate to: when one partner works from home, the expectation is that more will get done around the house. When it doesn't happen, the perception becomes that the partner is lazy, when the reality is that no one ever clearly set the expectation in the first place.If you've been here for a bit, you know about Amy and Drew's weekly meetings. Amy is honest—she doesn't always look forward to them—but they've drastically improved clarity around roles and tasks. If you're trying to bring something like this into your own relationship, Eli shares one simple 15-minute daily practice that can soften resistance and rebuild connection.We also get into a feeling many of us have had at some point: “Why does my spouse feel like another child I have to remind all the time?” Eli normalizes the frustration. Giving your partner direction—even if it seems obvious—is better than simmering in resentment later. Think of it as a reset: just like teaching a child how to walk, sometimes our partners have never been taught certain systems, and clarity is an act of kindness.Eli also breaks down his “import and export” lists. This framework helps families intentionally remove what no longer serves them while protecting what does. And of course, gratitude comes up—Eli shares why small, frequent expressions of appreciation might be the most powerful shift you can make in your marriage.Eli closes the conversation with a grounding reminder: every couple is navigating this same transition. You are not alone. It's never too late to reset, reconnect, and focus on your relationship with more compassion and clarity.LINKS AND RESOURCES:VUORI: 20% off first purchase at: http://vuoriclothing.com/herself Listen to episode #182 - Eli Weinstein with a Male's Perspective on Partnership After Kids and Sharing the Mental Load: https://www.herselfpodcast.com/listen/eliweinsteinmentalloadPre-order his new book "From I Do to We Do" AND get a free workbook: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/bookEli's Website: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/The Dude Therapist Podcast: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/podcastFollow Eli on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliweinstein_lcsw/Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Julie Manano, a licensed marriage and family therapist, specializes in working with couples using emotionally focused therapy for couples. She focuses on attachment styles, particularly the anxious-avoidant dynamic. A healthy relationship is defined by compatibility, shared values, and effective conflict management. Conflict is an opportunity for growth and bonding but must be managed with emotional safety. Change in attachment style can happen within a relationship, but it requires awareness, understanding, and time. The deeper questions to ask in a relationship involve exploring fears, views of self, and shame. Love languages are not enough to replace emotional bonding. In this conversation, Eli Weinstein discusses his book and the importance of understanding relationships' underlying emotions and behaviors.

Saying “no” sometimes means saying “yes”. Okay, don't let me misguide you here. What I mean, is that sometimes when you say “no” in one area of your life, you're often saying “yes” to another. When you say “no” to working overtime, you are saying “yes” to spending time with your family. When you say “no” to going out for drinks on a Friday evening, you might say “yes” to an early morning trip to the Farmer's Market on Saturday.  In this episode, I'm joined by Eli Weinstein, and we're taking a slight detour from our usual deep dives into food relationships to talk about relationships in general. Because let's face it, whether you're the life of the party or the king of introversion, we all have to deal with people.

Dr. Sara, an expert on relationships, discusses the six ingredients for designing the love people deserve. These ingredients can be applied to all types of relationships, including those with parents, siblings, children, and coworkers. The conversation explores the importance of attraction, respect, trust, compatibility, communication, and growth in maintaining thriving relationships. It emphasizes the need to focus on the right aspects of a relationship and not rely solely on love to save it. The discussion also challenges common misconceptions about sex and physical attraction in relationships. In this conversation, Eli Weinstein discusses the six key ingredients for a successful relationship: respect, vision, trust, compassion, acts of love, and knowing your own blueprint. He emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and communicating them lovingly and firmly. Vision involves imagining a partnership where two individuals influence and support each other, creating a harmonious relationship. Trust is built on reliability and consistency, and commitment is crucial even when you don't feel like it. Compassion is about being there for the other person without making it about yourself, and acts of love involve making the other person feel special in the way they want to be.

Love alone cannot save a relationship; it requires effort and focus on the right aspects. Physical attraction is important, but it is culturally constructed and can change over time. Respect involves continuously learning about boundaries and being respectable oneself. Trust is built through consistency, reliability, and vulnerability. Compatibility includes both individual attributes and interpersonal qualities. Effective communication goes beyond talking and includes understanding and valuing each other's perspectives. Relationships require growth and evolution to adapt to different stages and challenges. Set boundaries and communicate them lovingly and firmly. Imagine a partnership where two individuals influence and support each other. Build trust through reliability and consistency. Commit to the relationship even when you don't feel like it. Be there for the other person without making it about yourself. Make the other person feel special in the way they want to be.
