This controversial approach has transformed thousands of relationships, bringing women romance and intimacy.

Like millions of women, I wanted my marriage to be better.

When your husband actually says the words, “I don’t love you,” the hurt comes in waves.

First, there’s shock and bewilderment. Your mind races with questions. How did this happen? How long has he felt this way?

The underlying premise of this advice is that my husband just did not know that I liked affection. Or maybe he didn’t realize that he did not show affection. He just somehow…forgot.

But telling him to be more affectionate never works, as I’m sure you already know from trying it yourself. If anything, that drove my husband farther away. Sometimes he’d leave tire marks in the driveway.
