Weekly Mini Episode: The Hidden Ways You're Damaging Trust in Your Relationships

Many men believe trust is something they automatically deserve for being "a good guy" — but trust is not built through intention, morality, or loyalty alone.

In this episode, David breaks down why so many men hear "I don't trust you" from women despite never cheating, lying, or doing anything obviously wrong — and explains how trust is quietly eroded through unconscious behaviors most men don't even realize they're doing.

Rather than focusing on extreme betrayals, this conversation exposes the subtle, everyday ways men rupture trust: emotional dismissal, inconsistency, withdrawal under pressure, people-pleasing, defensiveness, and avoiding repair. These patterns create emotional unsafety — and over time, women stop opening, stop sharing, and stop trusting.

If you've ever been told you're emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, hard to rely on, or that something "just feels off" in your relationships — this episode offers a clear, responsibility-based framework for understanding what actually builds trust, safety, and attraction.
