Ep 89 - Why does my partner freeze, shut down, or say the wrong thing when I'm falling apart?

Why do they shut down when you're falling apart? Why do they say the exact wrong thing when you need comfort the most? In this episode, we step inside the aftermath of infidelity and unpack a question many betrayed partners silently ask: Why does the person who hurt me seem incapable of showing up now? We explore the emotional paralysis that often overtakes the unfaithful partner — the freezing, defensiveness, and withdrawal that can feel like a second betrayal. You'll hear what's really happening beneath the surface: crushing shame, terror of losing everything, and guilt so overwhelming it shuts down connection instead of repairing it. This conversation sheds light on why boundaries become confusing, why accountability feels inconsistent, and why your pain can feel unbearable for the person who caused it — even when they want to fix things. Most importantly, we discuss what actually helps move conversations forward, rebuild safety, and interrupt the painful cycles that keep couples stuck. If you're a betrayed spouse searching for clarity, validation, and a path toward healing — whether together or on your own — this episode offers insight you won't want to miss.
