347 – His Reaction Is Not Your Responsibility
You know that conversation that starts with one thing and somehow ends with both of you feeling terrible?
This episode is the antidote to that.
My husband Rabbi Yonasan Reiser and I speak about asking for what you need in marriage, and how you handle it when the answer is no.
We role play it. Twice. The difference is striking.
If you’ve ever swallowed a need because you were afraid of how he’d react, this one’s for you.

Wow. This is a very real and important topic! I appreciate that you brought awareness to the idea of first fine tuning what your real need is. Did you mean to address the “essence” of the need? And then approach husband?(first turning to hashem) need to remember that! I loved the way you role played a respectful dialogue but I’d love to get clear direction or key words on how to achieve that conversation! Also I’d love to hear a role play where husband is reflecting on his feelings during the conversation (ex guilt for not being able to provide) as opposed to him shutting down. And then wife knowing what to say to bring him back to conversation😊.
Thank you for the inspiration!
