Avoidant Men Series: One Foot In, One Foot Out - The Authentic Man Podcast with David Chambers: Dating, Relationship, Masculinity & Intimacy Guidance For Men | Lyssna här

You're one foot in, one foot out. And you've told yourself you're just being careful.

Maybe you've been with her a year — maybe two — and you still don't know if you're staying. You're analysing her. Judging her. Waiting for a feeling that never comes. And every day you ask the same question: should I stay, or should I go?

In this episode I break down why you can't find certainty the way you're looking for it — and why the question itself is quietly killing the thing you're trying to save. This isn't about forcing a decision. It's about understanding what's actually happening when you feel stuck at the door.
