Summary

If your man says things that are subtly insulting and hurtful but then acts like you're the one who is overreacting, it can be crazy making. At times you wonder how you can ever win when he mopes around and won't say what's wrong. If all you're getting is the silent treatment, how do you respond to that? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about 3 ways to solve a passive aggressive husband problem.

My guest Lucy often joked that her husband was like one of her kids or one of her social work clients. She couldn't trust him to be a responsible adult or parent because before he became a stepdad to her kids, he had abused opiates and moved into his mom's basement. But Lucy worried that she was going to ruin her second marriage, so she did something completely different from anything she'd been doing before. Today, her relationship is peaceful, with lots of laughter and she feels desired. Also, she never worries about money. She's going to share her best secrets for keeping the same man but getting a much better husband.

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week suggests that you can fix being unhappy with one unique strategy.
