HOW TO NOT SUCK AT LOVE!
Thanks for the great questions!
Do you see value in “personality type” testing? Every time I dip into this I feel like I’m just reading a horoscope. Also, how can you tell the difference between aspects of your personality that are intrinsic and those inflicted upon you from “surviving” childhood?
Hey Stef, thank you for your continued wisdom and guidance. You’ve talked a lot about moral virtue, and a line you’ve said in the past that’s stuck with me about choosing a partner revolves around who you want to be with when an infant wakes up crying at 3am, not if you have common interests with a person. In a similar vein, is a relationship salvageable if your partner doesn’t respect your stance on certain things despite an effort to explain why it is you feel that way with evidence or moral reasoning? I imagine this would only be amplified once kids are in the picture.
Hi Stefan, I've been seeing the term C-PTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder) thrown around often relating to childhood trauma but it's not officially recognized as opposed to PTSD. Do you have any thoughts of the distinction between childhood C-PTSD vs PTSD? Is it even a real distinction?
On the same topic, is it possible to completely cure childhood PTSD? What is the path to achieve it?
Hey Stef, any advise? My son is almost 3 and i wanna stop nursing him and i am not sure how to. He is still very much into it but he robs me of sleep and i get pretty cranky during the night. Of course my plan is to tell him and explain why I want to stop, any more I can do? Thank you very much 😁
How did you explain to your daughter why her grandparents aren't in your lives? I ask because I will be in a similar situation. My mom began to seriously disrespect my wife after my son was born last year, which has led to a major break between our household and my mom and siblings. I haven't seen much reason to believe that there will be any genuine attempt to make amends on their end so I'll probably have to explain this to my son when he's old enough. Any advice?
I was talking with my wife recently about what I expect the toddler years of our children will be like once we have kids. I was pushing back on the “terrible twos” narrative and saying that tantrums are not guaranteed and can potentially be completely avoided if you parent peacefully, empathetically, stay at home, remove toxic influences, etc (all of which we are going to do). She was very skeptical of this, understandably, because all the families she has been exposed to parent so poorly and cause their toddlers to respond as you would expect. I mentioned that you have claimed that Izzy has never had a tantrum and she did not believe that was possible and wanted to know what your definition of tantrum was. Thanks for all the wisdom you’ve provided in this area!

How to Save Your Marriage!
Stefan Molyneux digs into the challenges of romantic relationships, particularly how men and women interact. He pushes back against the idea that equality means being identical, pointing out that real differences shape what people can do and how they excel. Drawing from things like how siblings get along or gaps in pay, he stresses the need to appreciate what each person brings to the table. He also looks at how mismatched ways of talking can lead to confusion, and suggests embracing those differences instead of letting them cause friction. In the end, Molyneux calls for an approach to equality that respects personal traits as key to solid partnerships.
