Most couples mistake distance for indifference. This episode names what's actually happening when your husband goes silent — and why chasing him makes it worse.


In this episode:

Why avoidant men are driven by deep insecurity — not a lack of care

How fight-flight-freeze-fawn shuts down the prefrontal cortex mid-conversation

Why pursuing an avoidant partner reinforces the exact pattern you want to break

The mindset shift that creates space for real change — for both of you
