At a dinner last week, a friend told a story about his first week at a new job.

His boss was impossible to read. No feedback, no direction, just silence.

So, he did what most people do: he overcompensated.
-Sent long, unnecessary emails explaining every little thing.
-Kept asking if he was doing things right.
-Tried to prove his value by working twice as hard.

Still no reaction.

Then, a coworker pulled him aside and said:
"He’s testing you. Not to see how hard you work but to see if you can handle the silence without losing your cool."

That’s when it clicked.

The silence wasn’t about the work. It was about seeing how he’d respond under pressure.

And guess what?

Your wife is doing the exact same thing.

The Test You Didn’t Know You Were Taking

She pulls back. Gets quiet. Stops texting first.

You feel the distance, so you try harder:
-You send long messages, hoping she’ll engage.
-You keep bringing up “the conversation,” trying to fix things.
-You apologize for things you don’t even understand.

Still no reaction.

And the more you push? The further she pulls away.

Because this isn’t about effort. It’s about your ability to handle the silence.

What Happens Next Depends on You

If you keep chasing:
-She answers, but her voice is flat and distant.
-She lets you hug her, but it’s cold—like hugging a statue.
-She nods when you speak, but her eyes are somewhere else.

But if you pass the test?
-She leans into the hug instead of pulling away.
-She laughs at your jokes instead of forcing a half-smile.
-She starts talking first not out of obligation, but because she wants to.

Her silence isn’t just absence. It’s a test of how you handle yourself when she steps back.

"But if I don’t chase her, won’t she just leave?"

Ever seen someone yell at a stuck vending machine, hoping it’ll drop their snack faster?

Yeah… that always works.

Sometimes, the best move is to stop kicking and let it reset.

Right now, you have two options:

1. Keep guessing and hope things magically change.

2. Get actual clarity before it’s too late.

Most men wait until the warmth in her eyes is completely gone. Until she’s not just distant but checked out for good.

If you don’t want to be that guy, book a one-time consultation with me. No fluff. No guessing. Just a clear game plan before things slip further.

Spots are limited. If you’re ready, grab yours now.

See you on the other side
