VIDEO: How Nice Guys Sabotage Their Relationships | Dr. Robert Glover (No More Mr. Nice Guy)

In this live conversation, I sit down with Dr. Robert Glover  @DrGloverOfficial  , author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, to talk about the psychology of the modern man—especially the ones struggling in dead bedrooms, difficult marriages, and post-divorce confusion.

We dig into why so many men unknowingly sabotage their relationships, how covert contracts fuel resentment, and what it takes to stop being the “nice guy” and start living a better life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a marriage with no affection, no sex, and no answers—this is the episode for you.
