The majority of my listeners and clients are women. Many people think this is by choice and that I market specifically to women. That’s actually not the case. My theory as to why I have fewer male clients is that men often suffer in silence, especially when they are dealing with a narcissistic spouse or partner. 

In my opinion, female narcissists can be far more covert and manipulative than male narcissists. Women can be verbally and emotionally abusive to men, but our culture often keeps us from believing that a man can be a victim. This can make men ashamed to talk about their struggles and seek help. Men deserve all of the support and resources available to have a healthy and less traumatic divorce and we must help them get there. 

Episode Highlights:

Men and women have the same emotions about divorce and breakups, they just tend to manifest differently 

Why men tend to be more isolated during divorce than women 

Why being the nice guy often fails 

How to spot your codependency in a relationship
