Chapter 1: What happened during Marcus's affair?
My wife walked out to me having sex with another woman. I was blackout drunk. I don't really remember much of that actual event. We haven't had sex together since, and it's been approaching a year.
Yeah, exhale on that one. I know that wasn't easy. What in the world's going on? This is John with Dr. John Deloney's show, Taking Your Calls. Real people calling from all over the planet, talking about your relationships, your marriage, your kids, your mental and emotional health, whatever you got going on in your life. If you want to be on the show, I would love to have you.
Go to johndeloney.com slash ask. That's D-E-L-J-O-H-N-D-E-L-O-N-Y dot com slash ask. A-S-K. Fill out the form. Let us know what's going on, and we'd love to get you on the show. A couple of things. I'm drinking this drink, this liquid death. The show's not sponsored by it. I just like it. But here's what I'm really excited about. My new shirt.
Rumor has it, rumor has it, that Nashville is getting a Major League Baseball team. My Astros have traded away everybody. It's happening, Nashville. Let's get a baseball team. And I can finally let it go. Just like, is it Ariel? Is she the one? Elsa. Elsa. I don't know. I'm tired. I'm done. I gotta be done. I haven't lived in Houston for a long time.
Hey, if I could be a Cowboy fan, still.
I know, but I don't have a humongous star tattooed right at the base of my neck. So I can change. I did almost get a Houston Astros H one time.
Although I would work for me to be a Nashville Stars fan if that was the case.
Oh my gosh.
I'm a Dallas Stars fan.

Chapter 2: How can Marcus rebuild trust after infidelity?
And so I think there's this idea like we got to live in reality. This is where we are. Has your baby been born?
The reality is now I'm due in about a month.
Okay. Can you do me a huge, huge favor here? I know this is crazy. Can you not try to solve their problem right now? This is too special of a moment for you.
I don't know. Unfortunately, we felt that way for most of the big life events. That's how our wedding was. I know. Now it's the baby too.
So here's an exercise that I'm stealing from Terry Real, okay? One of the great psychotherapists of my time. I want you to get a picture of your mother-in-law. And I want you to put her at the kitchen table with you when you all have dinner. And then when you're talking about the pregnancy, you're talking about what we're going to do.
I want you to look over at that framed picture and go, what do you think? Because we like having you with a seat at the table. And then y'all will both go, oh God. And you'll flip it. You'll immediately flip it over. But that's the entry to the practice of
Instead of trying to figure out what's the new right way I can say this or what's the new way I can tiptoe into the living room, what's the new way I can – it's not about you. She isn't well. And so for the first time – are your parents in the picture? Sure.
Oh yeah. Yeah. We, we have a healthy relationship with my side.
Amazing. So let's exhale. Let's grieve with your husband. Can we just put it out there, sit on the front porch, look out into the stars and just be like, I'm sorry.
