Do you sacrifice your needs to keep the peace?

In this episode, couples therapist LaTrease Nwunye unpacks why the “nice guy” mindset – avoiding conflict to stay likable – often leads to hidden resentment, lost boundaries, and explosive anger. She explains why sacrifice isn’t the same as caring, how conscious choice builds trust, and what real leadership looks like in relationships.

We also dive into:

Why men fear therapy will change who they are

The difference between leadership and control at home

How anger protects boundaries (but can become destructive)

Why men struggle to express needs without guilt

How women’s expectations of emotional openness often clash with how men were raised
