Do you feel like you check out when things get hard in your marriage? Maybe you zone out, distract yourself, or shut down when your wife pulls away. You’re not alone—and it doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means your body and mind are trying to protect you.
In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott explains why presence—not control, not fixing, not chasing—is what your marriage really needs. You’ll learn how to stop abandoning yourself and start showing up in a steady, grounded way, even when your wife feels distant.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
✔️ Why disconnection is a survival response, not laziness
✔️ How emotional absence hurts your marriage more than you realize
✔️ The steps to notice when and why you disconnect
✔️ How to stay present with your own discomfort before showing up for your wife
✔️ Why presence without pressure builds safety and trust
✔️ How to stay grounded even when things get tense
✔️ How to make presence your new way of life as a husband
Your marriage doesn’t need you to perform, pressure, or disappear. It needs you to be present. When you stop abandoning yourself, you create the safety and steadiness that opens the door to real connection again.
