SUCCESS STORIES
MY STORY
I'M ERIC MACDOUGALL
When Kate and I first got married, I thought I knew what being a good husband meant.
Provide. Protect. Be present.
I figured if I worked hard, stayed loyal, and did the right things, the relationship would take care of itself.
And for a while, it looked like it was working. We were building a life. I was focused on my career, on providing, on doing what needed to be done. I leaned into the things I could win at: business, fitness, and productivity. I stayed in my comfort zone.
But I started avoiding the deeper parts of connection. Without even realizing it, I pulled away emotionally.
Over time, our relationship turned into more of a partnership than a marriage. We were running the house, raising the kids, checking boxes... but not really connecting.
Everything looked fine. Until one day, Kate said something I’ll never forget:

“I love you… But I’m not in love with you anymore.”
She told me she didn’t feel like a priority. That she felt alone even when I was right there. That I’d given so much to work, to being productive, to everyone else, but not to her.
And she was done pretending everything was okay.
That hit hard.
I tried to fix it the way I knew how—by doing more. Talking more. Trying harder.
But nothing changed. In fact, the more I tried, the more distant she became. It felt like I was losing her, and I had no clue what to do.
That’s when I realized: I had never learned how to lead in this part of my life.
I’d invested time, energy, and money into growing in business, fitness, leadership… but never in my relationship. And no one had taught me the tools for real connection, intimacy, emotional safety, or leadership in marriage.
So I made it my mission to learn.
I got serious about this work. I invested in coaching, joined men’s groups, studied communication, emotional regulation, and healthy masculine leadership. And I didn’t just learn it, I lived it.
Slowly, things started to shift.
Not just with Kate, but with me. I started showing up differently. More grounded. More present. More honest. More connected.
And we rebuilt our relationship from the inside out.
Today, we’re more connected than ever. Our marriage feels solid, fun, passionate, and real. We’re having deeper conversations, more trust, and better sex than we did when we first got together.
It’s not perfect. But it’s real. And it’s ours.
If you’re in a spot where things feel distant or flat…
If you're doing everything you thought you were supposed to do, and it still doesn’t feel like enough…
If you’re tired of feeling like roommates, or walking on eggshells, or trying to fix something you don’t fully understand…
You’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You just haven’t been taught the tools yet. But you can learn.
And when you do, it changes everything.
