  1. Dating after twenty years of an arranged marriage, decoding the real motivations behind "childfree" men, and what to do when your sex life becomes completely one-sided.

    May 20

    Dating after twenty years of an arranged marriage, decoding the real motivations behind "childfree" men, and what to do when your sex life becomes completely one-sided.

    In this episode, we are diving deep into three incredibly raw listener emails that tackle the unspoken anxieties of modern relationships. First up, Akila writes in about navigating her very first relationship after a 20-year arranged marriage. She treated her boyfriend’s kids to birthday gifts but is now trapped in an intense cycle of second-guessing. Did she overstep? Is she being manipulative? We break down step-parent anxiety and why doing the right thing can sometimes feel so wrong. Next, Abby is 30 and dealing with a bizarre match on the apps. He claims he’s childfree for "peace and hobbies," but chases her aggressively until he realizes she lives 45 minutes away in the Dallas suburbs. We explore the existential dread of having kids in 2026, and whether Abby’s "freak" radar was spot on. Finally, Amy opens up about a painful reality: her 2-year relationship has hit a massive physical wall. The foreplay has vanished, the sex stops the second he’s satisfied, and she’s left feeling invisible and undesirable. We have a candid, unfiltered conversation about sexual entitlement, communication breakdowns, and knowing when to walk away. WANT TO BE IN THE NEXT LIVE EPISODE?

    Are You the 'Safe Choice'? The Harsh Reality of Open Relationships & Numb Marriages

    Are you feeling emotionally numb in your marriage, or wondering if you're just the "safe choice" in your relationship? Welcome to Episode 13 of the Between Sessions Podcast with the Love Wilder team! In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of three complex and highly relatable relationship dilemmas. First, we tackle a heartbreaking email from a wife experiencing profound emotional numbness. Despite attending weekly marriage counseling, her husband refuses to apply the tools at home, resulting in a cycle of "bare minimum" effort and emotional neglect. Is it ever normal for a couples therapist to suggest lowering your expectations to survive a marriage? Next, we debate the controversial ethics and boundaries of dating a separated man. If a man has been separated for six months but hasn't filed for divorce yet, is he emotionally unavailable, or is it just a legal technicality? We break down the ultimate dating red flags to protect you from becoming a rebound. Finally, we unpack the modern surge in open relationships and ethical non-monogamy (ENM). When a partner in their 20s asks to open the relationship for "growth and exploration," what happens when the other partner feels insulted and relegated to being the safe, stable choice? We discuss the psychology of physical attraction, relationship stability, and how to set boundaries when navigating polyamory requests. WANT TO BE IN THE NEXT LIVE EPISODE?

    Stop trying to "think" your way out of anxiety.

  7. Resentful Grandkids, 20-Year Itches, and "Her" Book

    Jan 7

    Resentful Grandkids, 20-Year Itches, and "Her" Book

    This week, we are tackling the conversations everyone is afraid to have—from the dining room table to the nightstand. First up, we have a husband caught in the middle. His mother-in-law is dominating every single holiday, and it has gotten so bad that the teenage grandkids are starting to resent her. How does he tell his wife that her mom needs to back off without starting World War III? Then, we pivot to the bedroom. How do you introduce new sexual positions into a marriage that’s been steady for 20 years? We discuss how to bridge the gap between "routine" and "ravishing" without making it awkward. Finally, a listener needs help navigating a spicy discovery. Her husband read the "smutty" book on her nightstand, and now she needs advice on how to talk to him about what he saw (and maybe what she wants). Science Says Source: Research source: Komisaruk, B.
