“Help Me Get My Husband Off the Couch”
For the last five years, one wife has been going to bed alone—while her husband voluntarily sets up camp on the couch 🛋️.
What started as late-night gaming turned into a full-blown routine, even when they lived in a studio apartment just three feet apart.
Now she’s asking: Is this just a bad habit… or a deeper signal about intimacy, stress, and their marriage?
We talk:
💤 Why “comfort” isn’t the real reason many men retreat to the couch
🔥 How sexual frustration and unspoken resentment can quietly drive distance
🛑 Why calling it “just a bad habit” misses the deeper layers of disconnection
👀 The possibility of porn, avoidance, or hidden nighttime routines fueling the cycle
❤️ Why a marriage bed matters—not just for sleep, but for connection, vulnerability, and unity
Ever had a partner avoid the bed? Did it turn out to be comfort… or conflict? Episode 263 is live—tap in and share your story in the comments! #HowMarriedAreYou #MarriageTalk #CouchConfessions
