Today we discuss husbands who are abused or betrayed by their wives, and look at the 10 KEY TAKEAWAYS. We'll hear these men's first-person stories.
If you're a woman who thought this could never happen, think again. If you're a man who believes this could never happen to smart successful men, not true. If you think it could only happen to a man from a dysfunctional home, wake up. GOOD NEWS! These men all found excellent counseling, their destructive marriages ended, and all are very happily remarried today.
05:21 - POLL: How many people in the audience know at least one man who was abused or betrayed in his marriage?
We hear the stories of "Gary" and "John" and we discuss the prevalence of various kinds of abuse:
1. Gary's marriage to a serial cheating wife. Adultery IS abuse. 32:11
2. What percentage of wives have cheated? (See the graph.) 30:18
3. What percentage of men and women have experienced intimate partner violence? 30:52
4. John's Story of emotion coercion, isolation, and false accusations. 32:11
5. Ten takeaways from men's stories 51:47
For another excellent case study, listen to "David," a software tech startup entrepreneur, as he tells his story: youtu.be/23NBi6GKqUA
