Experiencing neglect in a marriage can be deeply painful and isolating. For many, that pain is intensified when it seems like their spouse shows more affection, attention, or care toward their pet over them. If you feel unseen, unwanted, or emotionally abandoned in your relationship, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Weiss compassionately validates the loneliness, grief, and trauma experienced by spouses who feel neglected in marriage. He explores intimacy anorexia, the active withholding of emotional, spiritual, and sexual intimacy, and how it may be at the root of what’s going on. You’ll gain clarity around why this neglect hurts so deeply, how it impacts your emotional and relational health, and what steps can help you cope and begin healing.
