145: My Husband Doesn’t Understand Me

We all want to feel seen, heard and understood. If you’re not feeling understood, it’s like you’re missing a nutrient in your diet, and you start to feel malnourished. I remember feeling this way when I’d listen to my husband talk endlessly about something he was interested in and then as soon as I brought up something I was interested in, he’d interrupt me. Harrumph! If he just doesn’t seem to get you or care about what you want, it hurts! In today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I’m revealing what to do when your husband doesn’t understand you.  My guest Charlotte says there was no trust or connection in her marriage. With nothing in common, she felt like she’d married the wrong person–and a liar too. But when she took a different approach, they became closer and closer. She says they have a bright future together and that she respects her husband now, not just because she’s supposed to but because she feels it.  Plus, the Worst Relationship Advice of the Week is about what I should have said years ago when my husband was avoiding me. It’s not only ineffective, it’s also insulting.
