144: My Husband is Nicer to Other Woman

Laura Doyle
About this episode

One of the worst feelings is when you're not getting your husband's love and attention. And, to make things worse, he's giving it to other women. Like when his voice gets warm and happy when talking to the kids' teachers or a co-worker. So what should you do? How do you tell him that he's being inappropriate and to stop embarrassing you? Especially if you already told him and he's acting like it's no big deal even though it's hurting you? You don't deserve that. In today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I'm revealing 3 ways to respond when your husband is being nicer to other women than he is to you. 

My guest Jeanne's husband was the controlling one in their marriage. In fact, things were so bad between them that their son was scared they would divorce, and Jeanne herself thought her husband would leave. But she made a few changes to the way she showed up in her marriage. Today, Jeanne says she and her husband are happy, respectful, and they like to hang out together. They have a peaceful and loving home. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.

Plus, as always, I reveal this week's worst relationship advice. It starts with a cute story…but is totally false!
