About this episode

This episode explores how men process their feelings after a breakup and the signs that indicate when a man wants to reconnect.

S5E18: WHEN HE WANTS YOU BACK, HE (EVENTUALLY) ACTS! Coach Paula Grooms Download 43-year-old Rebecca may have wondered what kept her ex, 46-year-old Seamus, from acting on his feelings. Like many men after a breakup, Seamus struggled to make sense of Rebecca’s behavior, leaving him uncertain about how to reopen communication—and choosing inaction instead.  In this episode of Make Him Wonder , we peel back the curtain on how men reach certainty, why time alone doesn’t equal disinterest, and why—when a man wants you back—he eventually acts.
