[@Malaika_Ellen]

Most powerful question E-V-E-R: "Do you really want someone who doesn't want you?"

[@carecafetips]

A successful relationship is fostered when a man and a woman open up to each other, respect what they share, and create a safe and cozy environment for each other

[@kristinej.4182]

Amen to this! I wholeheartedly agree!

[@R.James.]

In an utopian world yes. But in reality most women don't "allow" a man to open up, because it comes with consequences later on. They will resent him for being "too emotional" if he cries or cries too often, making her think "he's not man enough" for her thus unstable while if he goes through a time of hardship. Women generally don't respond well to grown men that 'cry a little too much' from their point of view. They will laugh at him and make jokes ánd instead of helping they will tell him to "Man up!". Women expect a man to carry them emotionally and support them, not so much the other way around since they are supposed to be the rock in the relationship. Generally they start feeling a grudge towards him then and start looking for other men. This goes for a supermajority of women. It is a toxic trait which most women have, but women like to point the finger towards men for having "toxic masculinity" instead of looking at their own faults first.

[@R.James.]

Not to mention that most women who say they want a 'emotionally available' man don't actually have a clue what they're talking about. Once they get it in their face, seeing their 'big lion, that alpha, their rock' suddenly cry like a baby infront of them they get 'the ICK'. Imagine he would cry about bad days at work, complaining about coworkers, cry about the pettiest family issues, about a salt shaker he accidentally dropped on the floor and he would cry next to you at least twice every week about it. And yes we have to take the extreme example here, which really isn't even that extreme anyway, because you all know so well that many women are like this. Many even cry literally every single day. Their emotions fluctuate all over the place even within an hour. All because of the hormones right??? Imagine if men started blaming their hormones for how they feel. "Awww sorry baby, my d*ck accidently dropped inside that girl just .. well you know.. it's my HORMONES baby! I just can't help it." Women and society never accept men blaming their hormones as an excuse because they hold men to a different and higher standard. Only IF men started complaining the way women do about their hormones, maybe ... maaaaybe then it would get normalized and perhaps be accepted. But this of course will never happen since men are not build to complain, which directly ties into this whole thing I'm explaining here. So again, we take that 'extreme' example, because thát is exactly what being OPEN means. Being able to say ANYTHING about our feelings. Men know from experience women start behaving different when he admits certain things about his feelings. Almost always it results in a negative outcome for him. Use some logic here why that is. Men and women are different, we look for the opposite things in eachother. Women are the emotional gender since they are are feminine. Most women are feminine. They look for a man who's complementary to them, so they are in search of masculinity and thus a man that leads them and is their 'savior' that is emotionally stable and a rock and who uses logic to lead and not their feelings. Therefor it makes absolutely no sense most women would even want an emotionally open man. It's contradicting itself to the very core. The way women generally want a man to be 'emotionally open' only exist on the premise how women want it to be. But that is not truly freely open from the man's side, but just a woman's dream on their terms. Don't confuse dreams with how reality works where you can't control how men "should" be open.

[@alexandrabackhaus-if4gm]

@@R.James.a man crying wouldn't bother me.

[@R.James.]

@@alexandrabackhaus-if4gm Again let's take it to the extreme here. What if he cries literally every day about "the littlest things" just because it's all too overwhelming for him. That frickin salt shaker that fell, then the spilled water over himself, then also the cat meow'ed too much. (Exactly for the same nonsense reasons women have their daily crying sessions over nothing.) Is that the guy you want to spend your life with? Do you really think you will stay with him if he does that EVERY day? Just because he feels so comfortable with you. There's plenty of guys being 5'4 tall, underweight, not confident and overly emotional like that. Are you married to one of them? See what I did there? There's always conditions for you being and staying attracted to a man and thus to the amount of crying YOU can handle from him. However you can not dictate how much emotions comes out, how often and when and where it happens.

Yes. He gave me mixed signals and hotncold treatment for 4 years. I knew he wanted to stay open, sees other women in case that someone better pops up. I was madly in love and I accepted that. He never wanted to say goodbye forever but every now and then he disappeared. In the end Is a wasting of time and great sufference

[@soydansogukcesme470]

yes .. i am a men and see that also.. BUT you know where it comes.. everyone talks about his father and how he was never their or neglect.. reality is most times its that the mother neglected the boy when he was still too litle to remember. not just neglect also give lesser touches and lesser love ..that they are stressed out or the situation is to much and they yell for no reason..ect.. just go outside and watch how kids laughing and running and having fun.. AND the mother shouts at them to be quit or stop it.. basicly the kids experience i cannot express myself i cannot laugh have fun ect.. BUT you cannot say this at media because you are betraying woman.. they are angels. i never saw a father shouting to kids to be quit or stop to playing.. i bet it exists but i personaly never saw it. and if in the early ages the boy gets interrupt from his mother.. that changes his brain and the patterns in the brain. later people are beeing adults and saying my father was this and that.. but no one pictures out that men are thisway because of some mothers.. and on top of it its not just his mother its other woman.. the sister girlfriends or girls in the class the school teacher the kindergarten teacher the cashier the doctor ect.. THEY all trying keep boys silence and dont letting them to step up or show emotions.. and then we wounder why so many men are single or cant express themself or still childish ect.. i know i know.. men are shit.. men are pigs .. we know that.. its obvios isnt it? but how it comes that no one .. not even therapist talk about mothers.. never they talk about it.. but you can clearly see it on your relatives or friends. because we dont hold woman accountable. their are even studies who look up for this stuff .. i am not making this up.

@@syzygy4365 as long as he has muscles, is 6 ft, and has more money (or better prospects) than her. If you can meet those minimum entry requirements - it’s fine for him to show a weak side after 6 Months of dating.😁 ok, I am being a bit facetious but I am just trying to highlight the multiple dimensional requirement that even average women demand - whereas the male requirement is typically “attractive enough and cool to hang out with (low drama)”. Most men settle (just saying). Also - why are men required to validate you and get your point? Can they disagree EVER? I mean, you always make sense and have valid points? If yes - it sounds like someone with the accountability of a child.

Contrasting this i just retired from of work permanently crippled/disable .....I couldn't' even manage sex at 350 lb.!!!!! WTF the backbone of our relations for decades was two older boys that we were never going to abandon [bad history in the extended family]. Diagnosis = disaster If i don't win her back shes gone!!!! she may not even waite???? i got to be certifiable ?....it ain't going to happen? but i realize like me that we owed it to our family to fight to the bitter end....that's where we are now and with any luck it might work ..... i will check back. the family now sees the money we put aside as investment in our future. i told the boys if nothing else, that becomes their inheritance.

I listen to KZbin while I sleep. I happen to roll over and start listening to this around 4:30 a.m. . I can't fall back to sleep because I feel like for the first time in 47 years, I've been able to look at my three most significant relationships and realize why they were significant, and see patterns I've never seen before because of this guest. Thank you all so much for the mind-blowing revelation. What a way to start a Monday!!

[@michellericher9289]

I really like how Audrey is definitely in her feminine energy, yet can step forward and give such great advice from a woman’s point of view ❤

[@Beltunes]

Bravery is the key; open communication will save all kinds of relationships.

[@LilDevs]

Top takeaway from this is men DO THE WORK, the biggest part of healing is when you realise what you contributed to failed past relationships.

[@pizzatheboss]

I feel like the only people I can open up to are my siblings and my grandparents. Every other instance I've opened up with has ended in more heartache. People would twist what I said and tell lies about me, some would just stop talking to me, and even opening up to my parents about something I was experiencing resulted in fights so bad that I decided to leave home and live out of my car until I could find an affordable apartment. I couldn't bring myself to talk to them for a year. I was called manipulative and selfish for saying how I felt. All I pray for is a girl that will be kind and patient with me.

[@chippychick6261]

This is a sorry statement of those people you opened up to. Such a lack of integrity. Is that what is lacking in our schools? LEarning about and practicing core human values.

[@carolshannon6449]

Consider getting therapy, it can help you untangle what are the dynamics you are experiencing and recover from the damage. No other person, no girl who is kind to you, can help you heal from what you experienced and learn how to avoid it happening again.

These people are spamming, using the same dialogue to point you to this "spiritual advisor".

[@buttermuffin1196]

I think they missed what Audrey was asking in her first question. It's extremely difficult to find someone because of dating apps. Everyone feels like they have so many options so they're always looking for the next best thing. How do you find someone who is willing to even say that we are in a relationship or recognize they are ready to be with someone? So many times guys seem like they're available only to slowly fade out within a couple months. So we see signs that they are ready but then it's gone.

[@hannahpeterangelo7551]

Thank you for calling this out I noticed this too Like I agree with his comment that if people want to be with you, they'll show you that. And I'd add that they won't be confusing about about it, largely because they themselves won't be confused. But as far as gauging early on how emotionally available someone is - before either person really knows the other (so logically you can't actually know if you want to be with this person... You can know you're interested but not much more than that) - I think it's one of those very tricky things that unfortunately we can only control by controlling how emotionally available we are to ourselves. If you treat yourself terribly, it'll suck and hurt if someone Else does the same, and you may even protest, but on some level it will feel normal for you. So you have to denormalize it in advance, and that's how you'll pick up on bullshit early. I honestly think it's the hardest thing any of us can ever learn how to do

[@bonniejeancampbell3851]

I gave up on Dating Apps very quickly. It felt like being in a catalog for mail order brides. Or a place to look for hook-ups. But it still took me awhile to break old patterns from past relationships. And even longer to feel my own worth and to create boundaries and stick to my standards.

[@marnim8574]

I wish I could have watched this with my ex-boyfriend. Such a great topic to share, it raises that same question for both people, which could save any relationship. All of the things that he mentioned, were happening with him. Sadly, I only found out after we broke up, that he was neglected, which led to more complications, in his life. However, 27 years clean, but there’s a lot that’s hidden, yet he denied it. I hope he will get help, as I suggested, because if not, it will just repeat. Thank you Matthew, for hitting on subjects that give our exhausted minds, a sigh of relief. ❤😊

[@dana102083]

Be needs to be ready for change and help and manifest help from within. Only when theyre ready on their own time.

[@amyhoover9]

The point that Matthew made about men and anger is honestly something I tend to ponder every now and then.... I feel as if some men just hold onto anger as a weapon. They think the anger gives them some sense power over others... other men may just be too prideful and stubborn because they don't want to admit that they need help. If I wasn't working a job where I had to interact with men sometimes, then perhaps my train of thought here would be less pessimistic at times. Some people just do not hold themselves to a high standard, or believe the worst in themselves and don't want to be convinced otherwise. I realize that not everybody is willing to be reasoned with, but at the same time, I guess holding onto some hope isn't a bad thing. Cruelty doesn't have to be the norm for society... just don't drag me down to your level or play games with me.

[@alice-hp7dh]

I've discovered all about this stuff almost ten years ago. And it was a quantum leap in my growth. I've met a man in my fourties after a break up and some years of singletude. I deeply felt for him but he was distant, avoidant not emotionally available and probably a narc. He was also not into me but he wanted to keep me around for yesrs. Thanks for him I discovered my shadow part and my childhood issues. But I also understand that we all have the same heritance. So I thought that we shared the same soul and that I grasped his deep himself but in reality I think that he has had the same experience with other women. So the onky thing that matters in those days, is your beauty, your status, your job and so on. They are the main values that brings you a relatioship.

[@Snad67]

[@sandhyajoshi4105]

I'm so grateful for your guys' visibility.

I have a personal experience there were times when I was lied about something but that time I believed bcz I didn’t doubt the person. But all those time it was like my heart started racing, I was not angry, i was really anxious. Eventually I came to know that those were lies at those moments. Listen to your intuition!

Being vulnerable comes with it's share of trade offs and risks. Especially if you have encountered someone at the workplace, it's not taken very well if you show off your vulnerabilities. Remaining stoic saves you from a lot of trouble and headache. It's a double edged sword. Regardless of the challenges, I think a happy medium would be to remain open and honest with people who you feel closely connected to.

[@elsh332]

This was an interesting conversation, but i really wish Rob had answered the question about how to tell the difference between someone who is genuinely just needing a secure relationship to work through the challenges and grow, and something more sinister or a person who is not really going to do the work and grow but waste our time. I have a long history of being with the second type and have even married two different full-blown NPD sufferers. Now I've done a lot of work and like to believe hopefully that i would not make the same mistake again... but the honest truth is that im not sure if i can keep myself safe from repeating the same mistakes. I have to work really hard to keep myself level-headed and with my feet on the ground. I have a sense f compassion so big that putting boundaries on it all too often feels selfish and cruel towards others. I LIVED the part of the conversation that talked about love as acceptance and accepting the less beautiful parts of yourself. My own growth, self exploration, and practises definitely align with this concept. I did inner child work (totally on my own so not sure what it looks like to other people or professionals) & that was wonderful ❤ i made peace with all sorts of things from that little girls life. I have so much love, acceptance, and gratitude towards her! She grew up with grandfathers and boyfriends of her mother who abused, neglected and molested her, she had a narcissist grandmother who controlled, bullied and manipulated everyone in the family, a mother who was passive and neglectful... she had such a horrible time and not one healthy or safe adult to turn to until she was a young teen. (Her scripture teacher always showed her healthy safe love, even though she was extremely rebellious and ill behaved. He made a difference i will never forget!) I told that little girls big safety mechanisms that its ok, they can rest now because i am here to keep her safe. When they show up, i acknowledge that she must be feeling unsafe and i start asking questions. Then i do what i need to so her safety is restored ❤ and those safety mechanisms go back into hibernation. I see them much like antivirus software. They are good to have and i want them to stay, but they generally just run in the background and only pop up to alert me when there is a problem i need to resolve.

Girls- actually you have to be strong enough to support the men and not judge and help them open up. They r too soft inside and need lots of love. Dont make them take lots of pressure of everything - sometimes performance and sometimes being a strong guy of house and sometimes the one who need to take all responsibility... Give them love, not judgement... ❤❤

[@chandrahardy75]

Oh, please. Sounds like you’re talking about little boys, not men. Women are literally begging men to open up and hardly judging them for it. Emotional vulnerability in a man bonds a woman to him. This false narrative that we judge men who open up must stop. It’s just a lame excuse to stay closed and emotionally unavailable while blaming women. You can’t have emotional intimacy without vulnerability. And I’m not a “girl.” 🙄

[@whatevereyewant]

@chandrahardy75 Per usually shifting blame. Women want to know it’s possible for men to be vulnerable, but women don’t want to be the one taking the vulnerability on all of the time. The men are expected to do that for the women and if a guy is overly emotional or vulnerable, it is unattractive to the women and they will even weaponize it. But again, don’t try to put yourself in the shoes of the other person, you lack of self awareness shows you can’t. You need to understand what opposite person values, not what you value as a woman imposed on the man.

[@chandrahardy75]

@@whatevereyewant More projection and blame-shifting. You are profoundly lacking in self-awareness and are addressing the wrong woman. You also don’t speak for all women who are over 50% of the global population which means we are not a monolith, so why would you generalize about us? I raised boys to men and modeled emotional vulnerability and created safe spaces for that. I don’t expect anything from men because they stopped wanting to be providers and protectors many decades ago. And yet we are supposed to infantilize them and be their mommies regardless, except that we just reflect back their unresolved core mother wounds, but that is not my problem. It’s one that requires a therapist. You won’t get that kind of grown man coddling from me. I expect an evolved, mature man and IF a man takes care of me (that has never happened, as I am head of household), then I would reciprocate with emotional support.

@@chandrahardy75 when u said women have to beg men to open up, it shows their fear to be judged... Not telling about their own emotions doesn't mean they are emotionally unavailable when they are needed by women. So, please first understand the difference. If women want men emotionally available then they should also be available. Give them a tight hug and kiss and tell them that everything's gonna be alright. Yes mam, they are always 'little boys'. 😊

[@chandrahardy75]

@@maggie1delhi Women are generally emotionally available; men are not. It’s the way we are socialized. What I won’t tolerate is males blaming women for their lack of emotional availability. Women are blamed for everything, even the violence that males perpetrate, including wars in which innocent women and children die. None of this is the fault of women and yes, blaming women is little boy behavior. Without the blame, it’s much easier for women to be caring and nurturing.

I think it's worth noting that he is saying that he has found a partner who can help him heal. And yet a lot of coaching is always telling women to heal themselves and that a guy shouldn't have to deal with that. The double standard needs to stop. Women need healing, men need healing, and they need each other to repair some of the damage that has been done.

This is really insightful. I'm seeing my very short marriage over 30 years ago in a somewhat different light. I don't think I could've changed the outcome - he was getting violent while as a new mother I was getting overwhelmed on all levels, health, career, finances - but I'm feeling sad for him, I have a bit more room for compassion.

This has been great. Ive learned so much! Thank you

Amazing talk… one of the best talks I’ve heard in a long time from both men and women’s perspectives

[@if7363]

Came just from Adam Lane Smith (licensed family therapist of 15 years) video on avoidant attachment. Every word until now seems to be about avoidant attachment 12:21 So she actually had possibly unconsciously skills as Adam says for the man to feel understood and able to open up.

[@irinabuzduga9748]

Great podcast!

[@IsabellaLindner29]

Wow he's great

[@BeckyJB]

Interesting episode ❤ 1:25:50 questions about questions hmmm how familiar. 😂 this should be helpful for each other in the relationship. Anger issues are at an all time high in my environment. ❤ thanks guys. The biggest takeaway from my point of view is that a man who clearly was unaware of his childhood trauma (neglect) is capable of doing something about it. It’s true that men need to hear his experience 😅.

[@onsmerkhi9237]

Thank you for this. As a woman, even if I try to I can’t really know what it is to be a man (and it goes the other way around) so this is really needed!

I really enjoyed this podcast! Great work! 🍀♾️✨

Brilliant interview….learnt so much and shared with many !

[@user-vg8ft6uy3u]

That was a wonderful realization to ask yourself.. do you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you? Because it kinda' happened to me as well. Then when this question triggered me.. I feel like a little light bulb shines in me and I was able to manage and behave to shift my thinking for my benefit .. loving myself more and believing that I am more than good enough to anyone to come into my life❤ Even actually lucky for them to have me, when they are smart enough to recognize it 😊

All women & men are different......if they judge u for being open/honest/vulnerable....perhaps not your person! Doesnt mean that everbody is the samel ....This interview says that perfectly! I know as a woman....i would love to find that.... 🙏🙏
