It’s a Feedback Wednesday again, where we answer questions from the Nation and today follow up from our episode last week.
A wife emails in encouraging me to re-think my stance and advice regarding last week’s segment on if a husband should tell his wife about his struggle with porn.
A wife prefers to offload her day, and talk about intimate and even conflictual topic with her husband in bed. He does not. It turns her on. It turns him off.

Should I Tell My Wife? | Feedback Wednesday #610
It’s Feedback Wednesday, where we answer questions from the Nation.
A wife had a little issue with our Trust vs Hurt episode. She heard our take as possibly blaming the betrayed spouse, not the betrayer.
A husband has had a struggle with porn before he married his wife, and it has continued into their marriage as well. He’s tried several times to kick it, unsuccessfully. Should he tell his wife about his struggle?
On the Extended Version …
A wife emails us about how her husband is very curious and wants to explore more about the swinging lifestyle. This breaks her heart … and scares her.
Enjoy the show!
