About this episode

This episode discusses how comfort can undermine relationships and emphasizes the importance of continuous growth to maintain a solid partnership.

Most men who lose a good relationship don't lose it in one big dramatic moment. They lose it slowly, one small concession at a time, until the guy she originally wanted has quietly been replaced by someone comfortable and predictable. This is episode 3 of the Keep Your B*tch series, going chapter by chapter through Paul Bauer's Red Pill Guide to Relationships. Chapter 3 is about what happens when things are actually going well, and why that's exactly when most men stop doing the things that got them there. We're covering why comfort is a trap, why she can feel your energy shifting before she can put words to it, why her tests are feedback and not attacks, and what it actually looks like to keep growing when you've already got something worth keeping. If your relationship is solid right now and you want to keep it that way, this one's for you.
