Dad Starting Over

Why Doing Everything Right Fails


Listen Later

A lot of men reach a point where they say something quietly and honestly:

“I did everything right… and it still fell apart.”

I hear this all the time from men who showed up, stayed loyal, worked on themselves, went to therapy, avoided conflict, and tried to be good partners.

And yet the relationship still deteriorated.
The attraction faded.
The resentment crept in.

I explain why “doing everything right” often becomes the problem.

We’ll talk about:

  • How being patient, understanding, and accommodating can slowly erase you
  • Why avoiding conflict kills attraction and self-respect
  • How over-functioning turns good men into manageable men
  • Why some men work on themselves and suddenly see the relationship clearly
  • And why doing the right thing doesn’t always mean doing the healthy thing

This isn’t about blaming women.
And it’s not about becoming cold or selfish.

It’s about understanding how self-abandonment sneaks into long-term relationships — and why some men outgrow a relationship the moment they stop disappearing.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, or confused about how things still went wrong, this one will probably hit close to home.
