When a couple gets a divorce, they have often thought about it for a long time. This often takes months or years, especially if there are children and the couple doesn’t want to break up the family. Sometimes, one spouse wants a divorce and the other is blindsided.

Most divorces are filed by women. Some reports say it’s as high as 75 percent. In many of these cases, the spouse filing has tried to make the marriage better. When these efforts are not recognized, it can be frustrating and exhausting. After weeks or months of feeling unhappy, they may decide to leave. The decision may seem sudden to the spouse being left, but it is usually a difficult choice that the wife came to after feeling she had no other choice. These are examples of things that can cause a divorce:
Bad behavior. Another reason people divorce is when their spouse behaves badly without trying to change. For example, after years of asking to be listened to or to feel appreciated or understood, a spouse may check out if their partner promises to change but doesn’t follow through. One spouse has reached the point of no return. Once a couple has invested everything in their marriage and the effort isn’t appreciated, they rarely try to save it.

📹 Am I About to Destroy My Marriage?
Am I About to Destroy My Marriage? Next Steps Ask John a question! https://ter.li/0pimqr Building a Non-Anxious Life: …
I have a friend who takes the time to listen, and respond to my kids, like what they have to say to her is important. I really wish I told her how much that means to me. My mom’s friends were annoyed by us…they often dismissed what we had to say, and it often felt as though my mom had to make her friends comfortable to our detriment. I’ve been working on telling my kids their ideas are good ideas, and they often have good ideas because they are smart. If their ideas are bad we talk about where those ideas lead 😂, but I don’t like dismissing their ideas. My inner child cries for the need to be heard because I wasn’t given the space to feel my ideas and thoughts were important when I was a child.
This was such an enlighening call. Ed ended up exploring a relationship that impacts him so deeply that it’s affecting his behavior, and I’m pretty sure this revelation surprised him. Dr. John did a great job of delving into the source of Ed’s anger. I didn ‘t think the call would end up going this way, but it was really insightful, and I’m sure John flipped a lightswitch on for Ed. Good job!
Out of all the great shows you’ve done, THIS ONE, is absolutely fantastic, on point, relatable and heartfelt. The advice you gave Ed was handed over in manageable ‘bite size to-dos’, but it was also HUGE in substance and hope. Hopefully Ed will follow through. You changed this guys life and gave a great set of tools to so many others out there. Great job John! I’m so proud of you.
Man this call hit home. When I was little I was silenced. I was hit. I was screamed at. I was held by my throat. I was backhanded with ringed fingers. I even had hair ripped out of my head. I was SAd. And told to be quiet. Around 11 years old I was called a wh00000rE by a lot of adults. 13-15 years old I was called a sl*t by my peers because I had breasts and held myself differently then they did. I didn’t have a single adult that protected me. Those that raised me hated that I was alive because they couldn’t have kids of their own so I was told how worthless I was. I didn’t realize how bad that hurt me until I turned 20. I fought the memories until I started having panic attacks at 28. I’m 2 years into therapy and I feel so much better. If you have horrible memories I’d definitely recommend talking to your little self. Thank them for hanging on and being strong and let them know that grown us you is here and is ready to take over. I know it sounds weird but it helps. Do it privately so you can cry and love little you. If you’ve read this and are struggling, I hope you find peace and heal. 💕
I really, really needed this. My mom is an A List narcissist with an undiagnosed personality disorder, and I’m an only child. It was and still can be a living hell. I’ve gone to always think of how my mom is going to feel or act before I’ve done anything in my life. And I’ve learned to slowly set those boundaries. It’s exhausting.
Oh God, I can’t stop crying when I’m listening to Ed. He is such a sensitive and kind-hearted person that was so badly hurt by someone as a child. I pray for him and anyone who has experienced similar things as a kid to heal totally from it and love themselves. You are valuable! You are enough, you are wonderfully made! You don’t need to prove your worth to anybody. Keep going, look what’s ahead of you. I pray for you Ed, for your wife and family. You deserve better, I wish you well🌸
So many hurting people in grownup bodies. The more I let go, breathe deep, surrender control, the more peace I feel. I meet everyone where they are in their journey. We’re all at different places and once I get that, I can walk with them, even if where they’re at isn’t where I am. It almost never is. And it’s so nice to allow their place and my place. No trying to change me or them. We just walk together. And in peacefulness, I grow. And if someone wants help in some way, I refer them here to Dr. D and other awesome Guides…Angels among us.
This sounds exactly like my husband except he gets mad when I try to get him to open up about the very obvious family trauma based reasons he’s like this. He rages at me when I do that. I try to open up conversations outside of fights, I try to show him a lot of compassion, but it’s no use… Yes I’ve asked him to go to therapy, he has zero respect for therapy, he makes fun of it… Unless I am totally agreeable and don’t ask him to fulfill any needs, and accept a lot of emotional neglect, he’s great. But if there’s any problem, he is completely out of control angry and self righteous, he also is the eternal victim. He’s most likely gonna ruin our marriage. If he hasn’t already. And he can sound really nice when he wants to. When I listen to this guy, I wonder if he’s just gonna go back to his wife and keep acting the same. My husband can sound extremely remorseful and show a sense of awareness too, when distanced from the actual moment… But he still comes right back to behaving like this. It’s impossible. Completely and utterly impossible. Just because there’s a good reason, and the guy shows some self-awareness, doesn’t mean he’ll do anything with that. 💔
This was my childhood. It took a divorce and a stint in rehab to learn this. I was in my 40’s before I learned that it was abuse. The kid in me still thought it’s what I deserved. The good news is that the way we are wired when we are kids can be repaired and rewired. If I can lead a happy and peaceful life, trust me when I say anyone can😊
I feel sorry for this guy. I have been at his shoe and still struggle with self doubt, hatred and anger time to time when I get triggered. I hated myself of how I treated my loved ones when I would get trigger. I am lucky that my loved ones love me enough to stick by me and help me come through the other side. Only love and complete acceptance was able to save me. He needs real life technical skill to deal with his anger and people that trully care for him. I hope and pray that he is able to find peace himself.
Emotional neglect and abuse is some of the most nefarious. It sets you up for a world that doesn’t exist. One where most emotions are a source of fear, regret, guilt and much more so you learn to avoid them. The defense mechanisms that get developed seem to stunt everything besides exteme happiness, extreme sadness, extreme anger. Often people feel they are emotional but it’s actually they only feel a variation of the three big ones. If they only were a little angry they might have the emotional bandwidth to feel the shame or guilt that maybe underpins the anger, so natually they goto the extreme to bury the trauma and only focus on the anger.
As someone raised by a father with deep seated abuse and rage and alcoholism, really deep pain… I am incredibly proud of this man for having the conversation. For calling himself out, opening the door to wisdom, and taking a stand in his life. I wish my father had done this 20 years ago. He’s doing it now, in his 70s kind of, and it’s heavily tinged with regret and self bitterness. The sooner the better ❤
What makes him a piece of crap????? The fact that he is abusive to his family! Now, thank you for acknowledging your behavior! 99% of men like you, can’t even fathom admitting they have a problem! Listen to Dr John and let go of the anger and insecurities so that you can love and treat your wife/family the way they deserve to be treated! If not, you are just going to pass on this behavior to your offspring! 🙏🙏🙏
My dad would say stuff like that to me all the time and it dug a huge well of self-doubt, self-hatred, and anger in me. It’s taken me so long to stop grasping for control through being always “right” and “smart”. Now that I’m a parent I really try to approach my own child’s naivety with curiosity, compassion, and openness. I’ll never resent them for having a different point of view because of course they will have different points of view. Maybe they can teach me new things!
This vall was so beautiful. It brings me so much joy to A hear men talk to other men with such compassion and awareness. It helps my own heart to recall the lessons in this call that relate to my own life. Itnsucksnthat we have to mend the damage someone else caused. But the other side os a world with far more peace, joy and harmony. As within, so without. Thank you Dr John.
Matthew McKay’s book When Anger Hurts. Quieting the Storm Within. A therapist and I went through it together, since I was raised in a violent family. Learn those “time outs”, and have a plan. In the beginning, my time outs were 3.5 hrs, that’s how long it took me to calm down after violence. Now, after 25 yrs, I can calm down in 20 minutes tops.
The thing that strikes me from my childhood is my mom told me I was an “unwanted accident, my father’s idea, and if she cld do it over again, I wldn’t have had you.” Bec she never wanted kids and my dad did and then he turned out to be a crappy dad too. I make sure I tell the kids we chose them and we had to go to drs to be able to have them bec we wanted them. My husband has asked me where my rage comes from. I got rid of my parents. I don’t associate with them beyond necessity. I set that boundary. I never wld have guessed after I dismissed them that they cld still be feeding my rage.
I grew up in a violent abusive home, I knew from an early age that I would be everything that my parents are not. I don’t touch people andni dont scream. With that being said I do what I say. I have found that people will talk tonyou and treat you how you treat them. A person who can’t control their emotions is a dangerous person.
This was me 9 years ago. My wife looked elsewhere. Somehow we worked through it and are still together. I’m nowhere near as bad as I was and still have moments here and there but I make progress every day. It just takes sooooo long. I came to realize it was my toxic mother of all people, that did the damage. We had a nightmarish relationship up until her last breath. I probably should have gotten counseling sooner….
I often wonder if my husband ever looks into topics like this.. this is exactly what Im going through (as the wife) and I’m unfortunately at the contempt stage and have little to no desire to work it out for the 1000th time.. even though “little” me, wants to.. as I have to witness my husband CLEARLY suffering from trauma, he’s never dealt with. The real 💩 part is when you have kids. Because they ABSOLUTELY DO take on that “baggage”, and it’s 100% NOT FAIR. I’ve ended up better off than my parents, and him with his too..but then theres the elephant in the room sitting on everyone. THIS! exactly what John said.
It’s so enlightening when we don’t allow someone to treat (in this case, his spouse) someone we care about, badly. But we didn’t do it for ourselves. My example: if one of my besties told me she was being treated like I was in my relationship? I’d be outraged- as in “WHO is this guy and WHERE can I find him,?!”
In the end it doesn’t matter what happened in your childhood. It’s still a choice and if you can’t do it by yourself then do therapy. Also in this case it’s always also a big matter of man needs do be a man in our society and aren’t allowed to have emotions. He doesn’t know how to regulation works. He thinks if he has the “control” than he’s the “man”. I feel sorry for the wife and kids. I’m a kid who’s dad has been gone bananas when he had drunk and only therapy help me to break the cycle… I forgive him and that helped also a lot. Because I still love him and now I know why he’s the way he is.
I just found out, near 40f, that I have autism CPTSD (with covert alters @.@) and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I was whooped every day and am living proof you can whoop the autism out of a child. However, they won’t function as adults. I can’t be around any stimulation and going to Dr’s appointments is like a CPTSD nightmare I can’t escape. I feel like I am going to have to move to Australia or some place in order to get treatment for adult newly diagnosed autism. It simply doesn’t exist in the United States.
Wonderful moment when he realizes he may lose his wife if he dose not to change. Hope he gets counseling. when you ask a baterer to list feeling words they know 3 normal men list 40 or moor. they feel everything as anger. he needs to learn subtle feelings . even listing helps. they also have no friends. they do very well in counseling and the generation problem stops with him. Good for him calling. Get counseling Ed. you can do this. get help. there is alot of stimulants in construction. Don”t! Really ED you are going to do well In counseling as you are honest smart and I hear the love you have for your wife. I worked with domestic violence for years. When. motivated and self aware they do so well so fast. Good for you Ed. Keep reaching out and get the help your family deserves so your kids do not continue this.
He feels out of control in his life, so he’s taking it out on his wife and kids. She and the kids are the only people he believes he can control, because they’re smaller and weaker. He can’t even control himself. He’s too cowardly to focus his anger on the people who supposedly harmed him in the past. I’ve heard that “I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know” many times, and I’m finally old enough to know and appreciate why that’s said to younger people who believe they know it all.
This man is definately abusing his wife and I hope his wife escapes. His wife is finally fed-up and ready to leave. Thats why he is calling John now. He wants to manipulate his wife and tell her he is getting help. John should have asked him of he ever beat his wife. A bad childhood is no excuse to be a abuser or a a-hole.
My husband has man child anger. But if it was truly from growing up, I have a hard time seeing it? His mom would say she always listened (and I’m sure she tried? She does have issues with control but she is very loving). But they also grew up on a farm and had no neighbors and were very isolated. Thoughts?
As amazing as this call was, I’d love for John to, at some point, explore why he feels so compelled to hold men to higher levels of responsibility than he does women. Phrases like, “I have a reaction to people who can’t control their own anger, especially toward women,” and “your anger is manchild anger,” make me suspicious that he could never treat men and women equally as a therapist.
If you’re perusal this article and you’re an angry person then you can take some of what he said as true, but he missed on the fix, and a bit on the why. I don’t believe anger is just a child trying to protect themselves. There’s a bit of that, but for the most part it’s going to be a couple things. 1. It’s actually a part of your dna 2. It’s a learned behavior Anger is about control, and if you grew up in a household that was controlled by an angry person, then that’s how you try to assume control. Now you could be mad to control a person for your own gain, or you’re trying to control them to protect them. That said, all anger comes out the same. Overall, you will only push people away in the end. To stop the anger you will need to come to the conclusion that there is no control. We all assume that we have control over certain things, but really we don’t. The government takes what they want out of your check, you work at your current job because a supervisor decided to hire you, and so on. You control yourself and what you do. If you haven’t guessed I have dealt with an anger issue that continues to this day. Mine is terrible and if not put in check can become physical. I typically would use it to protect someone from themselves or others. To stop my temper from flaring I’ve become real honest. Instead of exploding I let it out like a pressure cooker and I don’t let off the gas. I tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If the person that I am having issues with doesn’t listen I’ll sit down and tell them what is going to happen if they continue down their path.
I’m about halfway through this article and I feel the need to say that this article started off with the gentleman talking about how he treats his wife/family like garbage when he gets mad. I don’t know if you’re right in this situation. I don’t know this man or the dynamics within his life. But frankly, from a radio/video show, you don’t either. That being said, I think it’s important to acknowledge that some people are just plain assholes. Some people are sick to their core. Some people can’t be fixed and to try and sympathize with them can be somewhat frustrating for the ones they’ve hurt (to put it mildly). I was raised by monsters. The stains of my upbringing are part of my daily, unseen attire. However, I FIRMLY believe in personal responsibility. My actions toward myself and others are a choice. My behavior (for the most part) is a choice. Your upbringing does not dictate who you are. You do. Everything else is an excuse.
Resentment also causes people to get really angry and he feels angry at his wife and hus kids because, in some aspects, he feels like his wife took something from him. Whether it be his freedom or his time he wish he can get back.Whatever the reasons he feels resentment towards his children. When he gets really angry, he lashes out at them because they’re in his way. Doctor Deloney sometimes gives ppl too many excuses to say this is why you are an asshole. Everything is not cookie cutter
John, I love that you champion women. However, I want to encourage you to show men the same gentleness and compassion that you expect them to show women. Every seed replicates after its own kind. And people can’t give something that they don’t have or they have never experienced. If you are not showing gentleness and compassion, the men that you council will not either
i don’t get why these grown men are so into their feelings/childhoods/etc. somewhere around 23? i personally came to the realization that all my problems or issues with my parents, or my friends, or whatever — all the talk about ‘how this should have been handled’, or ‘how this person screwed me over in this way’ was somewhat useless. none of it mattered. it’s my life. it’s my actions that determine my character. it’s my success or failures that determine my future. kind of a ‘forgive and forget’ about all the nonsense. who cares? dude is getting emotional about “i forgot more than you will ever know”? what in the world is going on. stop being a woman.
So basically, let’s create a dr. jeckll and Mr. Hyde persona so I can distance myself from my shadow self and pretend it’s a separate person from me so I don’t have to own my negative behavior and take full responsibility that this is the person I am and I don’t deserve a person to be living in the hell I’m creating knowingly for her. But let’s force my wife to feed this dullusion. That sounds perfectly reasonable and healthy. It’s time society stop pushing women to accept men’s abuse. It’s not our responsibility to heal men who never heal and change.
