One writes: “Is it cause you end up having to parent your husband either because he is or acts like he is incapable of doing anything for himself?”
Another adds: “Just a joke, but its because she doesn’t have to keep him from leaving anymore because she’ll get half his stuff if he divorces?”
A third says: “I will tell you that my ex stopped caring about his personal hygiene. I love a man who smells good. I spent a fortune on wonderful colones—the ones that get my attention in a public space. Yes, we talked about it—he didn’t care. Big turn off.”
“It’s always got to come down to ‘how much’ s** people are having. I’d rather stay single than have that kind of pressure again,” another pens.

The dating coach, who has a PhD in social psychology, has shared the shocking information in a TikTok.
The viral video has accumulated almost 50,000 likes and over 7,000 comments since it was first posted.
In the clip, she says: “The primary reason why women stop having s** with their husbands is because they don’t feel emotionally safe.
“The reason that they don’t feel emotionally safe is because their attachment needs are not being met inside of their relationship.”
Hensley goes on: “Attachment needs our deepest needs inside of a romantic relationship, and if those things are not fulfilled we will not feel emotionally safe.
“Especially for women when there is a lack of emotional safety, they start feeling very unsafe giving their bodies to their partner, and they start to feel extremely un-attracted to their partner.”

She continues: “The anxious preoccupied their biggest need is love, affection and reassurance. So they need lots of reassurance every single day that you love them and that the relationship is stable.”
Hensley concludes: “For the dismissive-avoidant woman, it’s going to be space autonomy, and lack of criticism, aka peace and harmony inside the relationship.”
Per Psychology Today, emotional safety is crucial for healthy relationships and emotional well-being. It involves feeling accepted and safe to be your true self.
Rooted in our evolutionary need for physical safety, emotional safety allows us to connect deeply with others.
Without it, people can feel threatened, isolated, and distressed, so creating environments where people feel valued and accepted is essential for mental health and strong relationships.
