About this episode
Some men can’t stop trying to “save” broken women. They think it’s love. They think it’s noble. But it’s an addiction — a way of escaping their own pain. In this episode, I read a powerful letter from a man trapped in the “White Knight” pattern and delivers some tough love on how rescuing others can destroy you, your marriage, and your peace of mind.
If you’ve ever tried to fix someone who didn’t want to be fixed, or confused pity for love, this one’s going to hit home.
