What if a man’s strongest allegiance isn’t to the relationship, but to the silent, unspoken loyalty he holds with other men?

In this eye-opening episode of the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, Lynn exposes the invisible code that governs male loyalty — and the ways it subtly undermines emotional partnership. It's not always about cheating or cruelty. Sometimes, it's about who he protects when it really counts — and why you find yourself emotionally second in line.

This episode explores:

• The quiet ways men prioritize male approval over relational intimacy
• Why emotional exclusion and silence feel like betrayal — because they are
• What “respect” among men actually protects — and who it leaves behind
• How patriarchy stays alive through silence, avoidance, and emotional self-preservation
• What this means for women navigating trust, connection, and emotional safety

If you’ve ever felt like your partner defends his friends before defending you... If you’ve called out harm only to watch other men go quiet… If you’ve felt like no one has your back — even in spaces that claim to support women...

This episode will give you clarity. Not just about him — but about the systems around him. You’ll walk away with a sharper lens, a stronger voice, and the permission to stop rationalizing emotional abandonment as loyalty.
