The Truth About Initiating | Ep. 32

Who should initiate in a relationship? And why does it feel so personal when they don’t?
In this episode of The Backdoor Podcast, we’re having the honest conversation most couples avoid — initiating intimacy, affection, dates, effort… and why it can quietly create resentment. From feeling rejected to feeling undesired, we’re breaking down the emotional side of initiation that no one really talks about.
Is it about confidence? Pride? Gender roles? Or just poor communication?
We talk about:
Why rejection hits deeper than we admit
How mismatched drives create tension
The pressure men and women both feel
Why “waiting for them to start it” can damage connection
How to initiate without fear or ego
If you’ve ever felt unwanted… or felt like you’re always the one trying — this episode is for you.
Real relationship talk. No filters. Just truth.
