Your Marriage Isn’t Failing, You Are S4 Ep11

This episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast dives headfirst into the uncomfortable reality of grief inside a marriage, especially when loss, trauma, and unresolved wounds collide. Using real listener emails, Chris and Peaches unpack a husband’s intense grief after losing his mother, the emotional disconnect it creates with his wife, and how unprocessed pain, a history of TBI, and mismatched grieving styles can quietly erode intimacy. You can expect raw conversation about masculine grief, emotional regulation, anger, resentment, and why trying to rush healing often makes things worse rather than better. 

The episode also tackles boundaries, responsibility, victim mentality, and perspective through a second email involving family conflict, control, and dependency. Chris challenges the listener narrative hard, questioning entitlement, gratitude, and personal accountability when living under someone else’s roof. Expect blunt truths about boundaries with parents and grandparents, parenting disagreements, food, discipline, and why avoiding hard conversations creates long-term damage. This episode is for listeners who want real growth, not comfort, and who are willing to look at how their interpretations, reactions, and choices are shaping their relationships.
