"Hello Stefan, I have been contemplating contacting you for almost 2 years. I have been in a sexless marriage for the past 6 years. I do not see divorce as an option since we have 2 kids together and I will sacrifice all of my please and happiness for the well being of my children. I tried talking to my wife about this multiple times, eventually we end up having sex but there is no joy or connection coming from her. It's seems like it's a chore she has to do, occasionally. It was always me who initiated sex for the first 5 years. About 95% of the time I would be shut down by: is that all you think about, I'm tired, I have a headache, it's late. So I gave up and stopped initiating sex, now I'm lucky to have sex once every 2-3 months. I have resorted to watching porn for sexual release. I would like to add that I am the sole breadwinner of the family. I'm in my mid 30s and She is in her early 30s. She does not have to work, or worry about any bills. I take care of all the taxes, paperwork, billing, health insurance, etc. I can say we are middle class and we are not struggling financially. I have tried to move my in my career to supervisor or management position but I don't have the drive or feel like I can because I get belittled and told what to do constantly by my wife. I can honestly say that I know I am providing for her and protecting the our family in the time of need. I would do anything for her if she asked but she refuses to do the same for me I would love to have a conversation with you to discuss my flaws and what I may be doing wrong in order to fix this. I honestly can't go on living in a sexless marriage for any longer. Thank you for your time and all of the knowledge you bring forward."GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

Today's discussion delves into the intricate dynamics of abuse and trauma on relationships. We explore how past experiences shape responses to abuse, leading to patterns of replication or enabling. By examining the impact of early dynamics on connections and validation-seeking, we highlight the importance of self-awareness in breaking destructive cycles. Join us in challenging traditional narratives and unraveling the complexities of abuse, resilience, and healing in interpersonal relationships.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, the interactive multi-lingual philosophy AI trained on thousands of hours of my material, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

"Hello everyone-"I wanted to see what everyone thinks of the following scenario related to a good friend of mine, we'll call him Bob, in keeping with Stefan's favorite name for pseudonymous people. This is a bit long-winded I know but its an issue I'm still trying to wrap my head around that I'm sure you'll find as perplexing as I do and it involves a lot of the same philosophical principles and precepts that Stef tackles in my favorite episodes, listener call-ins. I appreciate in advance your time and consideration. Maybe with your feedback I can be of service to my friend Bob and his wife somehow. Let's get right to it:"Bob has known Jane for about 2 years now. They courted for about a year and a half and have been married now for 8 or 9 months now. From the very beginning of their relationship, Bob and Jane have had deep and meaningful conversations about their past, their values, their goals in life, etc. and were pretty well-aligned in all manners. They were in premarital counseling for about a year before they were married to address how childhood and family of origin issues might shape the dynamics in their relationship and they have worked fastidiously to recognize when they are "pushing each other's trauma buttons", so to speak and how to more effectively communicate their wants and needs with each other."Their arguments, as they've both told me, are infrequent and have never escalated into physical aggression towards the other, they've never yelled at or threatened each other, and there has never been any instance whatsoever of infidelity or abuse of any kind. Many people from the outside, myself included, have remarked how genuine their connection seems to be, how dutifully they seem in their commitment to each other and how happy they seem to be together."Like it is for many married couples, their first year of marriage has been quite challenging. Both have had some difficulties navigating family of origin issues, such as Jane's divorced parents and how her often meddlesome stepmother can be divisive in pitting Jane's mother and father against each other. Such behavior angers and saddens Jane, who in these circumstances, finds herself re-experiencing old wounds from her parents' particularly contentious divorce when Jane was a teenager. Bob is not without family of origin drama of his own. I know more about Bob's childhood as I've known Bob a lot better and for longer than I have Jane, but I know he was often subject to his mother's wild vacillations in mood along with torrents of insane verbal abuse when he was a child. Interestingly enough, Jane's and Bob's fathers both are quintessential Boomers straight out of a 4chan meme, often enabling the bad behavior of their wives with a dearth of philosophical complexity on display in their unironic use of the cringe phrase "happy wife, happy life". Passive, weak fathers both, but contrasted to Bob's disdain and disconnection from his own father, Jane has quite a close, borderline emotionally incestuous attachment to her father as from what it sounds like, she would often assume the role of emotional support child to her father during the divorce. This was an issue previously brought up for discussion by Bob in premarital counseling, as he had some misgivings originally if, upon marriage, Jane would indeed accept him as the paterfamilias or stay loyal and enmeshed to such an unhealthy degree with her father. Jane promised him that it was the former, though the doubt still lingered in Bob's mind. There were several conversations that the couple had about the fact, incomprehensible as it was to Bob (and me tbh), that Jane was 31 years old at the time she met Bob, had never had a relationship and this didn't seem to be much of a concern to her father. Bob confided when they first started dating to me how strange it was to him, especially in the modern Tinderfied dating world, how a woman as fit and pretty as Jane could be a 31 year-old virgin and suspected her father of holding her back from her goal of finding a husband with whom to start a family."Then in early March came the gravest challenge to their now 3-month old marriage. Bob received word from his mother that his 13 year-old nephew had killed himself, a gunshot to the head. This was of course devastating to both Bob and Jane of course, but especially to Bob, for it was his own brother's child, a boy with tremendous promise who excelled in music and suffered from depression, nearly identical to Bob did at that age. Unable to sleep, eat and feel any interest in sex with his wife, Bob was distraught to the point where he picked up alcohol again after 5 years sobriety. This was something Bob vowed never again to do as Jane expressed her intolerance for substances of abuse when they first started dating. One night a couple weeks later, Bob was arrested for misdemeanor assault after a fight during a night out at the bar (he had told Jane he was at an AA meeting at the time) and when he called from jail, Jane was furious at Bob, for the drinking and the dishonesty she despised in more or less equal measure."The next day, Bob was released from jail and out of desperation to get back to the sober life he had come to appreciate deeply, he checked himself into the hospital for detox. Surely, this would be a good-faith attempt as well to win back Jane's heart, as part of her forgiveness of him would hinge on whether or not he attempted to correct the problem that caused the harm to her heart in the first place."On the next day, during the hospital's visitation hours, Bob was called from his room and informed that he had visitors. Visitors, visitors like, plural? Bob thought maybe Jane brought me, or another mutual friend, an elderly neighbor they both befriended on a walk around the neighborhood one evening while they were still dating and who was a big supporter of their relationship. But to Bob's shock, it was not me nor was it their mutual friend who was the other visitor. There seated at the table was Jane and her father. Bob's heart sank and he became angered by his presence. He asked Jane what she was thinking by having her father drive 7 hours to be party to a conversation that should be only the place of the two to have. He refused to sit down and talk with them any further. When he was discharged from the hospital several days later, Bob was presented with a note from Jane telling him she was going back home with her father to process things. A month past and every attempt Bob made to contact Jane went unanswered. Last week, Bob received a knock at the door. It was a porter from a law firm who handed Bob a summons. "Dissolution of Marriage". "The petitioner (wife) alleges fraud". "The marriage should be annulled due to fraud as the respondent (husband) failed to disclose to the petitioner that he suffers from a mental illness which affects his ability to be forthright and truthful with the petitioner.""This is where my friend Bob is now. He was and has now been going to AA meetings daily since the day he was released from the hospital. He's sad, of course, but he's managing it well, got a new job, working out everyday, has a sponsor and is working the steps in AA. All of this really makes my head spin. There's so much to mine for discussion here. "In sickness and in health" is one. It's so strange how a relationship that was so promising can just be jettisoned in a couple months. How one tragedy can set off a series of events that changes the course of so many lives. They were planning on having children one day in the not-so-distant future. I've been Bob's friend a long time and really came to like Jane in the past two years. I was at their wedding and Jane's family all raved about what a good guy Bob is. Only a week before Bob's arrest, Jane's stepmom and father came down to visit and remarked how happy they both seemed to be. I don't even know what to make of all this and maybe you guys could help me (and them both possibly) understand each other's side a bit better. Do you think Jane's loyalty really was ever with Bob or did her father come between them? If you were Bob, how would you respond to receiving the dissolution of marriage summons? If you were Jane, would you stick it out with Bob if you were witness to his sincere efforts in sobriety? As long as I've known Bob, he's been a decent dude honest to a fault, and I think he's been forthright with me about everything, for instance, he told me that when he was having trouble being interested in sex with Jane so he resorted to watching a porn clip while she was getting ready for bed in attempt to gain an erection. He even told me she caught him because when she came to bed, he left the screen open. He's been fairly outspoken against porn in the past when it comes up in conversation so I imagine it took a good bit of honesty and humility to even bring that up to me. I know I'm biased since he was my friend before Jane was my friend but damn, I can't even begin to unravel how a marriage, let alone THEIR marriage, could just break up like that.

"Tell me what I'm missing: I don't think it's the position of determinists that the person they are debating is incapable of changing their mind. All they say is that your unenlightened perspective is simply the result of each thing that came before the conversation. Maybe it's that your lack of exposure to the right arguments resulted from not caring enough about the topic which resulted from a preference for video games resulting from a difficult childhood resulting from being born to the wrong people in the wrong place and time resulting from everything that produced people, places, and times. They say it's the same for their preference for you to believe as they do. Whether or not you will change your mind after debating them has been determined as well, but I don't see how any of that is inconsistent with their desire for the change. They are happy to be the atoms that will have inevitably done that for you or inevitably not. I imagine it as something like scratching an itch. I don't particularly care what led to whatever dust particle landing on me in an irritating way; I'm going to scratch at it. (Or maybe I won't if it's been determined I'll harbor a kind of contrarian but ultimately meaningless attitude about my predestiny!) Yes, we make what have evolved to feel like choices, but that too was all just determined somewhere in the unspeakably complex movements of matter and energy over time."GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

Marriage Troubles"Hi Stef,"I feel stuck. "I’m in my early 40s. I’ve been married for 19 years. We have 4 children."I chose to marry and give four children to the wrong woman. I am finding it increasingly more difficult to remain married to her. "My main criticisms with her are she can’t be corrected, can’t feel like she ever did anything wrong, can’t admit fault, and she never apologizes. "I became more and more avoidant over the years. As I’ve made steps to find myself again it has created more conflict which goes unresolved."My last straw occurred when she conspired to pay a waitress to hit on me at my company Christmas party (of the business we own together). After the holidays, I asked for a divorce. However, I ultimately agreed to another attempt at marriage counseling. (We did 7 months in 2020-2021). We have been currently in counseling since February (8 months). "We have both been seeing individual counselors concurrently with our marriage counseling. "I have lost hope that things will improve, but don’t know if they are bad enough to justify breaking up my family, particularly while my kids are so young. Hence the feeling of being stuck. "I listen to enough shows to know that you don’t tell people what to do. But you have an extraordinary gift of talking with people to help them uncover the actions for themselves, which is my hope. "I’ve also heard you criticize callers for not requesting a call-in show before is too late, so this is my attempt to call you before I do something I can’t undo."A little background on me:"I was born and raised in a Mormon family, the youngest of 7 kids. "I began dating my wife when we were in college. She was not a Mormon then. She converted after we had been dating for over a year. Shortly there after I left for two years to do an overseas mission for my church. When I returned home, we resume the relationship immediately and things moved very quickly from engagement to marriage. I had reservations about marrying her at the time, but ultimately chose to move forward with it."We left the church about five years ago. "I used to overcome my unhappiness with the idea that the frustrations of my life and with my wife would be remedied in an afterlife. However, I no longer believe that there is happiness waiting for me on the other side of death. Happiness is for this life, or never..."GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and over 100 Call-Ins.

Sunday Morning Live 6 October 2024In this episode, I examine the complexities of familial obligations related to the Baby Boomer generation as they age. A listener's question about a resentful sibling prompts a discussion on generational caregiving expectations, emotional burdens on caregivers, and the ethical implications of assessing parental "worthiness" for sacrifice. I explore the cultural narratives surrounding caregiving, contrasting Boomers' focus on personal fulfillment with the values of earlier generations. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own familial experiences, recognizing that caregiving can serve as an opportunity for moral reflection on family dynamics and intergenerational relationships.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and over 100 Call-Ins.

What are good techniques to introduce such philosophy to people who have gone astray?I grew up in and live in a pretty leftist area, but there are also a lot of people on the far right who could use philosophy, virtually everyone I know is a statist that doesn't even know the definition of anarchy, much less the underlying principles. The problem I tend to encounter is that people on both sides tend to think that logic and reason that doesn't fit their programming must be on the opposite extreme relative to where they're at.It seems like anything rational is often opposed strongly by at least one "side", and often both sides.I was fortunate to be going through some stuff that required me to open my mind to new ideas in order to survive and\or thrive, some would call it the gift of desperation. How does one approach people who aren't even willing to have an open mind?Hi Stefan, #1 during your life of philosophical inquiry, what were the top, say, 6 insights that were there most meaningful to you that "teleported" you ahead in life and you're willing to share? (Gems of knowledge do have this power...) #2 The future's SO uncertain, there are intelligent, motivated, organized folk with top (evil) work ethic fabricating danger, famine, floods, g#n@c1d3, etc. ahead. Most good/non-evil people are either morons and/or spineless inoffensive cowards who will just let whatever happen happen maybe without ever having a clue. Even ppl who are (somewhat??) aware don't feel ready or don't want to deal with the situation with 10% of the absolute seriousness it demands (AFAIC, it's the ONLY important topic on the whole planet for humanity rn). What's the best way you've found to behave towards/with those? What's the best strategy? Not sure it's an entirely philosophical Q, but, the heck, I'd love to get your POV on it anyways.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and over 100 Call-Ins.
