A relationship coach has caused a stir online - by claiming that men don't want to listen to their partners' opinions. Ellen Schultz, 48, known as @drellenlovecoach on TikTok, is a self-described love coach who uses her platform to provide advice on how to be ‘a happy wife with a happy life’.
Having previously achieved a PhD in Applied Theatre and worked as a drama therapist, Ellen decided to turn her hand to relationship coaching after undertaking her own research following a series of failed relationships. She began posting relationship advice online and swiftly turned the role into a side hustle – and just before lockdown hit in 2020, she decided to because a full-time love coach.
Ellen said: “The issue is that the crux of my work can be controversial and provocative. Of course, your husband does want to hear your world views and opinions, we want to be able to have these long philosophical discussions, but because the woman is in this defensive competitive dynamic with her man it can spiral into a conflict very quickly.
