In this raw and unfiltered episode of You’re Probably Right, we go straight into the heart of marriage and long-term relationships — when love feels one-sided. Drawing on real stories, timeless truths, and unspoken frustrations, this episode exposes why so many men and women feel disconnected under the same roof. We’ll talk about silence, intimacy, negotiation, influence, and the lies modern culture feeds us about love. And along the way, we’ll unpack how different men — Beta, Sigma, and Alpha — experience these struggles uniquely, and what it takes to bridge the gap before silence wins. This is not about blame. This is about truth. About survival. About choosing each other again, time after time.

🎧 This is not a sermonette. Not a quick hit. This is a full-length conversation designed to last a drive, a late-night shift, or the quiet hours when the house is still. Take it in slowly. Pause if you need to. But don’t look away. Because this is the storm that most couples face — and if you don’t face it, it will face you.
