He finally opened up… but now you’re second-guessing everything.

In this raw episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix break down one of the most misunderstood dynamics in relationships: male vulnerability. From childhood trauma to emotional withdrawal, we uncover why men often bottle up—and what it means when they finally let you in.

We’re going beyond “just talk to me” advice. This conversation dives deep into emotional safety, masculine identity, and why so many men confuse control with protection.

If you’ve ever loved a man who wouldn’t open up—or one who only showed emotion after he lost you—this one’s for you.

✅ Watch this if you’ve ever asked:
• Why doesn’t he tell me how he feels?
• Is he emotionally unavailable… or just afraid to be vulnerable?
• Why do men wait until it’s too late to open up?
• How do I support a man who struggles emotionally?

From emotional detachment to silent suffering—this is the truth about what happens when a man’s pain goes unspoken… and what love can look like when vulnerability is met with safety.

Is a “like” just a like—or is it low-key disrespect?

In this bold episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix explore a growing relationship dilemma: how social media habits—like following thirst traps, commenting on bikini pics, or dropping heart-eyes—can quietly erode trust in serious relationships.

▶️ Whether you're the one scrolling... or the one watching someone else scroll, this episode asks the uncomfortable but necessary questions about:

• Emotional boundaries in the digital age

• Why online behavior feels personal when you’re building something serious

• The fine line between “insecurity” and intuition

• What it really means when your partner won’t stop—even after you’ve spoken up

From listener letters to real-world examples, we unpack the emotional impact of public digital behavior in committed relationships. This isn’t about control—it’s about respect.

🧠 Key Questions Answered:
• Does “liking” pics mean they’re not serious about you?
• Are people overreacting—or are their instincts spot on?
• What happens when public actions contradict private promises?
• Is it a red flag… or a breakup-worthy dealbreaker?
