They lose them because they unknowingly repeat the same patterns — habits that slowly erode connection, intimacy, and trust over time.
In this episode, David Chambers breaks down the 10 common behaviors he sees again and again while coaching hundreds of men — patterns that quietly sabotage relationships even when a man is trying his best. Rather than shaming or blaming, this conversation offers clarity on why these behaviors show up and how they disconnect men from their partners.
This is a practical, honest exploration of emotional reactivity, disconnection, approval-seeking, lack of leadership, and sexual polarity — and why many men feel confused, frustrated, or "never good enough" in their relationships despite good intentions.
