Dr. Emily and producer Erica judge whether you’re the asshole when sex drives don’t match, and the verdicts might surprise you.
A woman daydreams about affairs while her older husband’s libido fades—but is desire actually the problem? A man’s wife refuses both sex and therapy because he doesn’t earn enough—discover why money complaints are never really about money. Someone only wants to receive pleasure, never give it—where’s the line between preference and selfishness?
Then the hardest question: what do you do when you’ve tried everything for a decade and still have sex twice a year with someone who recoils at your touch but swears you’re their person?
Dr. Emily delivers tough love about the “everything but sex” trap, why refusing therapy while refusing intimacy is relationship sabotage, and the brutal truth about waiting for people to change. She breaks down the progression from frustration to resentment to contempt, and issues a wake-up call about the information you’re ignoring right now in your own relationship.
If you’re walking on eggshells, wondering if your needs are unreasonable, or waiting for things to magically improve, this tells you what you need to hear.
