Ever feel like you’re just not good enough? Like no matter what you do, people will see through you and reject you?
This isn’t random—it’s a trained belief from childhood.
Let’s talk about why you don’t respect yourself and how to fix it. 🧵👇
If you struggle with low confidence, anxious attachment, or feeling like people will abandon you, it likely started early.

A good woman can bring a man peace, lower his stress, and help him heal—but she can’t do it alone. If you want a woman who melts your stress, you have to be the kind of man who makes her feel safe enough to do so.
Here’s how to build that peace. 🧵👇
Good women want to pour love, warmth, and loyalty into a man—but they can only do it when they feel safe, cherished, and respected.
If she’s anxious, insecure, or feels unappreciated, she can’t bring you peace. She’ll be in survival mode instead of softness.

Some men assume the answer is only sex. They don’t understand how a good woman impacts a man’s nervous system, stress levels, and medical wellbeing.
Let’s break down the science of how a good woman nurtures the man she loves. 🧵👇
Most men spend their entire day in sympathetic nervous system activation—the stress response.

Loving a person with a painful past—especially one shaped by trauma—requires patience, understanding, and balance. You can’t FIX them, but you can LOVE them in a way that helps them heal.
Here’s how. 🧵👇
First: A reality check.
If you love someone with deep emotional wounds, you will see the impact of their past. Trauma doesn’t just disappear—it changes how a person reacts, trusts, and connects. But love, when done right, can be part of the healing process. ❤️🩹

Does your husband deserve respect?
This question makes people uncomfortable, but it matters. Respect isn’t just given—it’s earned. But there’s a difference between respecting the "rank" of husband and personally respecting the man holding that position.
Thread on respect. 🧵👇
Respect for the Rank vs. Respect for the Man
In the military, you salute the rank—even if you don’t respect the person wearing it. The same applies to marriage. Respect for the role of husband means treating him with basic human decency.
But personal respect must be earned.

Denying your spouse sexual intimacy OR emotional intimacy doesn’t just hurt feelings—it leads to hormonal and neurochemical starvation and is a profound betrayal of the marriage contract.

Got a depressing email from a 25yo guy saying he wanted to off himself because he wasn’t 6-feet and couldn’t reach 6 figs in time to get a wife and have kids, so what’s the point in living?
He wouldn’t believe there are scrawny 5’8” dudes making $80k and dating amazing women.
The whole rhetoric around 6–6–6 is really insane. It’s a bunch of highly damaged women laying out arbitrary measurements for hypothetical men they’ve never met, rules which they throw aside for real connection. And a bunch of angry dudes claiming that’s the reason they’re alone.

Your wife is frustrated. Complaints are constant.
Sex? Rare, if ever.
