An anxiety I’ve often had in the past when it came to my relationships was that my partner might leave me. This only contributed to my Nice Guy Behavior in, well just about every area of the relationship. This fear that “she may leave you” is fuel to the Nice Guy Syndrome. 

I’ve seen this pattern over and over again with the men that I work with in my coaching Nice Guys who are trying to recover and become integrated men. It seems that this fear is so deeply entrenched that it’s almost written into the Nice Guys DNA. That’s because it is.
