My wife separated from me at the beginning of 2024 and I bought your program at that time. You helped me immensely to hold on. We had a short lived reconciliation but my wife eventually even asked me for a divorce (which didn't happen). But now I'm 2025 we are back together with our two teenage daughters and we couldn't be happier. Your videos gave me solace, companionship, steps to take and hope. It worked God bless you

Quick update on my separation, she moved back in a week after thanksgiving and while things are still a bit weird we are working on us. She's still harboring some resent and mistrust of me based on the last couple years but is talking about it with me and we are starting to look for a couples counselor. So, things are definitely looking good but I'll still be sticking around for some motivation and because this group and course have helped me a bunch!
Just know, you will come out stronger being a part of this program. I've learned from my mistakes and using those to be a better person for myself and in a relationship.

After 14 years together, looking back it was a good ride while it lasted, but the person I married is not the same person I divorced. Ironically I met someone in the exact same position that I was in and our divorces happened within days of each other. This woman has changed my life and outlook. Turning 50, I thought there was no way anything positive would happen, but alas here I am and living my best life. To those of you fighting for it, I hope and wish nothing but the best. Just know, you will come out stronger being a part of this program. I've learned from my mistakes and using those to be a better person for myself and in a relationship.
The Four Stages of Separation
-
Stage 1
She Really Wants Out
If your wife has said she wants space, separation, or divorce, and it is clear that she really means it this time, this is where your roadmap begins.
-
Stage 2
She Plans to Live Apart
If your wife's desire to separate is turning into concrete plans — finding an apartment, talking to family about where to stay, discussing who moves out — this is where you are.
-
Stage 3
You Now Live Apart
If you and your wife are now living in separate places — whether she moved out, you moved out, or you are nesting — this is where you are.
-
Stage 4
Divorce Is Filed
If divorce papers have been filed — by her or by you — or if you have begun meeting with a mediator to formalize the process, this is where you are.
Inside the Separation Roadmap, you will:
- Identify what stage of separation you are in — so you can stop guessing and start thinking more clearly.
- Understand what is probably going on in her head — so you stop being blindsided by her behavior.
- See the biggest mistakes men make in your stage — so you can stop making things worse without realizing it.
- Know what your priorities should be right now — so you have a clear next step instead of a hundred competing thoughts.
The men who make the worst mistakes in separation are usually not bad husbands.
They are just disoriented. They are treating Stage 1 like Stage 4. They are putting massive pressure on a single conversation when they should be playing a long game. They are trying to fix something before they even understand what is broken.
The Separation Roadmap gives you the orientation first — so everything you do after this is smarter, steadier, and more likely to actually help.
They started out disoriented, too.

I was so lost when my wife left me 3 weeks ago. I'm still struggling daily, but I feel like I have some personal direction and confidence thanks to you, and I've learned some amazing things about myself along the way.

I'd like to start out by saying thank you for making this resource available to men like me. I was so lost when my wife left me 3 weeks ago. I'm still struggling daily, but I feel like I have some personal direction and confidence thanks to you, and I've learned some amazing things about myself along the way.
I am becoming a much stronger/better person going through this and I of course I hope that my wife can find it in her heart to forgive me for the mistakes I made all those years ago. I also know that if she doesn't I will still be fine and I will find my happiness either way.

First off I just wanted to say what fantastic support site you have set up here. I am myself going through a separation with my wife and I've made loads of the common mistakes you've talked about on your site and in your podcasts from begging to selling myself trying to convince her to stay in our marriage... Your site has made me realise that I have never really been able to be by myself truly independently and I was scared of losing my wife for fear of being alone... I've been using this time to work on myself and make the changes I want for myself becoming a more independent, caring and motivated person... I am becoming a much stronger/better person going through this and I of course I hope that my wife can find it in her heart to forgive me for the mistakes I made all those years ago. I also know that if she doesn't I will still be fine and I will find my happiness either way.
Thank you again for everything you do, you really are the light at the end of a very long dark tunnel!
I have made most of the mistakes you've mentioned and now I'm in the "giving her space" stage and it's not easy!

I have made most of the mistakes you've mentioned and now I'm in the "giving her space" stage and it's not easy! had it not been for yours and others valuable information, I woulda lost my mind and just gave up and left already... it's been a month and 2 weeks now, but I'm ok... whether we reconcile or not, it's still a win win situation for me... I'll be a better man either way! So thank you!!! you will continue to get me thru this as I continue to listen to your podcasts everyday!
I literally did not think this would be possible... So, thank you. Please know that, at a minimum, the work you are doing has changed my life forever.

I just wanted to write a note as it's been six months now that I've been back together with my wife and we have been through four months now of couples therapy and we just wrapped with an intensive, and we will be back to weekly next week and quarterly intensive to ensure we protect the relationship. She shared with me that she has gained full trust in me, for the first time, and has invited me to move back in at the end of my lease in 6 months, barring we can continue to sync at a very slow pace... Her daughter (my former stepdaughter), who is struggling is doing significantly better, and we have begun to form a good relationship.
I literally did not think this would be possible... So, thank you. Please know that, at a minimum, the work you are doing has changed my life forever. And that changes so much. I know it's 100's and 1000's more.
