Why NICE GUYS Choose the Devil They Know (and How To Stop)

In this video, I discuss why so many nice guys stay stuck in situations they know aren’t working — marriages, jobs, friendships — not out of love, but because the pain is familiar.

I break down how conflict avoidance, fear of the unknown, and years of managing dysfunction quietly keep men trapped. I explain the real cost of staying in predictable misery: time, self-respect, lost possibility — and ultimately, the slow erosion of your identity.

If you’ve been telling yourself that staying is the responsible thing to do, I challenge that story. Familiar doesn’t mean safe. And managing dysfunction isn’t the same as living.

This one’s for the men who are finally ready to stop choosing comfort over freedom.
