Esther Perel Quote
Terry Real, who has written extensively about men in relationships, describes a particular unholy triangle between the powerful, irresponsible, and/or abusive father, the codependent, downtrodden wife, and the sweet son caught in the middle. These sons, he expands, become unhealthily enmeshed with their mothers, and as adults, they become afraid of their own range of emotions.2 They are kind souls who feel they must curtail their own feelings and take responsibility for the happiness of Mom and the women who follow. Real calls this intrusion trauma, which lives not just in the psyche but in the body—hence its power to inhibit physical intimacy. Garth fits this pattern well, and it goes some way toward explaining why he feels so beholden to the women he loves, yet is unable to be aroused by them.
