My girlfriend broke up with me

Living with a hoarder

Practical tips for living with a hoarder

Can AI help your marriage?

Was my marriage valid?

Light a candle at dinner 

Why do break ups happen? How do you live with a hoarder? Can AI improve your marriage? Doug goes to the mailbag answering these questions and more.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Christine - I want to give you a solution: A friend of mine said that they made a very small area and her husband could be messy there. (17:41)
Mike - I am a hoarder and I would like to tell you how it is good. (28:56)
Rita - I am a retired therapist and my suggestion is that for the things you feel you can’t throw away, taking pictures help. (30:51)
Ken - I have a first communion garment that I don’t want to give to my nephew. Am I a hoarder for this? (35:00)
Jason - I think AI is a good mediator. It’s like a father but doesn’t get mad. (37:00)
Mike - It depends how you use the AI. If you put in negative prompts it will skew towards what it thinks you want. (37:50)

Living with a Hoarder

Wife saw that divorce was an option

Husband's turning point - leadership

Is there a chance we can reconcile?

Importance of physical touch

Doug shares a case study from Impossible Marriages Redeemed by Leila Miller. When getting married, the wife’s backup plan was divorce. After years of arguing and the husband’s alcohol abuse, hope seemed grim.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Ted - My wife filed for divorce about a month ago and I am wondering how to keep her here or if I need to let her go. (35:11)
Angel - I was a military wife and my husband had a cheating and drug problem. He kept it from my children until right before he died. They are angry and hurt even though he’s dead. I want them to love their father after his death. (43:23)
