Why Your Wife Needs Some Space From You
I’ll keep this short and straight-forward.
Sometimes the most simple idea is the most powerful.
Men love women.
Women want to be loved by men.
This is very often a huge problem.
Some of us want women so badly we will do nearly anything to gain their approval, attraction and desire.
Then something goes wrong.
We try too hard. And then they back away.
And then we try harder. And then they reject us.
And then we try harder. And then they will say or do ANYTHING to get us to stop the pressure.
You would think they would talk to us rationally and calmly and explain exactly what we need to do to win their approval, attraction and desire.
Therein lies the problem.
We expect a reasonable response from someone who is experiencing a serious emotional reaction to something they can’t really explain.
Even worse, even if she tries, you won’t really understand exactly what she means.
It sucks not knowing what you don’t know.
Women can feel unbearable emotional PRESSURE from things that are invisible to you.
Without even a touch, they can pull back and run for the fences when they believe there is no escape and no other choice.
I learned all this the hard way.
And now I’ve made a life of trying to teach you what nobody – not your dad, uncle or grandfather – has taught you.
There’s a better way to be a man.
I explain a this a little more in this video with my horses.
There’s a much easier way to be in a relationship with a woman.
And this is exactly why we created the Confident Man Ranch Retreat for you.
It changes lives forever. It drastically improves some marriages.
And it 100% builds smarter, stronger, more confident men.
And I sincerely want you to join me and Tim Wade from May 25-28, 2025 at our next one in Loveland, Colorado.
This is real men, getting real with each other and having a really, really great time. Laughter, connection and brotherhood is what we create together.
It’s the smartest and safest way for a man to grow a much bigger sense of masculine mojo and emotional confidence.
I Like to Model What We Teach You
You’ll never get what you want in this life if you don’t clearly ask for it and unapologetically go after it.
I’m clearly asking you to do something new, something big and something scary for yourself.
I’m shamelessly telling you that I want to sign up for this retreat before it fills up.
And I’m unapologetic about how much I love this work and love the men we work with at our retreats and coaching programs.
I want one of them to be YOU, brother.
It’s time make a decision.
Don’t ask permission. Simply make a decision that’s right for you.
And if you can’t make one of our retreats, here are some other options for you to get the support you need…

As Teddy Roosevelt said:
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Q: Why do women pull away when you care about them most?
A: Because “caring” often turns into pressure. When your energy says please like me, she feels cornered—not comforted. Women don’t pull away from love; they pull away from emotional demand. Calm confidence is what creates attraction—not convincing, pleading, or proving.
Q: How can I stop chasing my wife and start attracting her again?
A: By removing pressure. Chasing is rooted in fear—fear of rejection, fear of not being enough. Attraction returns when you stop trying to control outcomes and start leading with peace, clarity, and purpose. A man who doesn’t need her approval becomes magnetic again.
Q: Why doesn’t she explain what’s wrong when she pulls away?
A: Because she often doesn’t fully understand it herself. Her nervous system is reacting to subtle pressure—neediness, anxiety, or emotional pursuit. You can’t talk her into safety; you have to embody it. The calmer and more centered you are, the clearer she becomes.
Q: What’s the biggest mistake men make when trying to fix attraction?
A: They double down on effort instead of energy. You can’t logic your way into connection. You build it by relaxing, breathing, and standing in your own grounded masculinity. Confidence doesn’t beg—it invites.
Q: How can I create a calmer connection with my partner?
A: Replace pressure with curiosity. Listen without defending. Speak without demanding. When you drop the need to be understood and focus on understanding her experience, emotional safety returns—and with it, intimacy. Calm men make women feel safe to open up again.
Q: What’s the key mindset shift for rebuilding attraction?
A: Stop trying to get love. Start giving it from overflow. When you love yourself enough to be okay with or without approval, your presence becomes light instead of heavy. That’s when women stop running—and start relaxing around you again.
