Michele Weiner-Davis joins me for a conversation about sexless marriages, desire differences, resentment, and how couples can rebuild intimacy after betrayal. π Book an online session: https://laurahow.com/online-therapists/ Michele is a therapist and bestselling author known for her work with sexless marriages, infidelity recovery, and long-term relationship repair. We talk about why sex is never just sex for many people, how shutdown and withdrawal slowly erode closeness, and why so many couples wait too long to ask for help. This conversation offers practical, compassionate guidance for men and women who feel stuck, lonely, or unsure how to reconnect again. In this episode we explore: β What βsex-starved marriageβ really means β Why long-term sexlessness damages connection and trust β The silent expectations low-desire partners often hold β When anger and withdrawal take over the relationship β Why feelings cannot be the only guide in intimacy β Responsive vs spontaneous desire, especially for women β Why communication style matters more than frequency β Ways to approach the conversation with more success β How to support healing after infidelity β Why hope is possible even after years of shutdown We would love to hear from you. π Leave your questions in the comments for future episodes. ββββββββββββββββββ π Michele Weiner-Davis Books Sex Starved Marriage β https://amzn.to/49xZiUA Healing from Infidelity β https://amzn.to/491pAi1 ββββββββββββββββββ π Connect with Michele Weiner-Davis Website β https://www.divorcebusting.com/ TEDx Talk β https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep2MAx95m20 YouTube β https://www.youtube.com/@DivorceBusting1 Facebook β https://www.facebook.com/micheleweinerdavis ββββββββββββββββββ π§ Need support?
