Mistakes Men Make When Trying To Save Their Marriage
When guys first reach out for help they are almost always feeling immense fear and pain…and they want to FIX that fear and pain right now!
All of a sudden your reality has changed and you don’t like it.
You thought the story was going to go one way and now it has made a terrible turn.
She wants space. She wants freedom. She wants to feel connection. She wants to feel alive. She wants to find herself. She wants to escape some vaguely defined prison of anxiety and pressure.
And apparently it’s all your fault.
This is when a man will want to talk with me about FIXING things – quickly.
He wants to fix himself, fix her and fix the marriage so the fear and pain will go away and everything can go back to being just like it was supposed to be.
When I explain the reality of what is in front of him he gets nervous.
I explain that he has no control over her feelings or her decisions.
I explain that the final outcome of his marriage is out of his hands.
And when I explain that the BEST CHANCE to fix anything is to start with fixing himself he will ask:
“Yeah But, What If I Become A Better Man And She STILL Leaves Me?!”
Think about that for a minute.
What’s going on in his head here?
This is the most common mistake men make when trying to save their marriage.

The Trap Of Asking The Wrong Question
When you decide to become more confident, calmer, clearer and grounded in your own sense of value and well-being…there is nothing that needs to “work”.
That IS the work. The measure of your work is not in the outcome of your marriage, her desire for you or any other EXTERNAL result over which you have no control.
You decide to become this man because it’s important to you no matter what.
And here’s the other thing we don’t get at first.
There is NO WAY the older version of you stands a chance of attracting her back into a relationship. Panic, pleading, promising, pressuring and demanding will only make things worse.
The reality is that your future is uncertain.
But you can create certainty in how you respond and how you choose to THINK about this whole process.
Advice That Actually Does Help Save Your Marriage
Your first thought needs to be:
“F*ck this. I’m going to become the very best, strongest and most attractive version of myself no matter what. I want that for me regardless of the outcome.”
Now THAT attitude will serve you well. I guarantee it.
What happens when you read that? What do you FEEL right after saying that out loud?
It’s liberating. The knot in your gut loosened just a touch.

Q: Why do I panic when my wife wants space, and why do I feel like I need to fix everything?
A: Because your whole reality suddenly changed and your brain wants the fear to stop right now. You think fixing her will fix the pain. But the real work is calming your nervous system, grounding yourself, and getting clear on who you want to be—not scrambling to control her feelings.
Q: How do I save my marriage when she says it’s “all my fault”?
A: When she’s overwhelmed, everything feels like your fault to her. Don’t take the bait. You can’t control her emotions or her story. What you can control is becoming calmer, more confident, and more grounded. That version of you—not the panicked fixer—has the only real chance of rebuilding connection.
Q: What do I do when I’m terrified she’ll leave even if I become a better man?
A: This is the “Yeah but… what if it doesn’t work?” trap. Becoming a stronger man isn’t a strategy—it’s the actual work. You don’t evolve to manipulate the outcome. You evolve because living as a clear, calm, self-respecting man is the only path forward no matter what happens to the marriage.
Q: How can I stop obsessing over whether my marriage will survive?
A: You can’t control the outcome of your marriage, and trying to will choke your confidence. The only certainty you can create is in how you respond—your attitude, your emotional steadiness, your sense of value. When you shift your focus from “Will she stay?” to “Who am I becoming?” your anxiety loosens.
Q: Why doesn’t my old behavior work anymore when I try to win her back?
A: Because the old version of you—pleading, promising, panicking, negotiating—has no chance of attracting her. That energy smells like fear. What works is your grounded masculine presence: clear boundaries, calm confidence, and the willingness to grow for you, not to get a specific result from her.
Q: What’s the first step to becoming the “best, strongest, most attractive version” of myself?
A: Say it out loud: “F*ck this. I’m becoming the man I want to be no matter what.” Feel how liberating that is? Start there. Build daily habits that restore clarity, purpose, self-respect, and calm. When your certainty comes from within—not from her reactions—your entire life begins to change.
