The line between being a "nice guy" and being someone who wants good for others is a fine line.
I was a "nice guy" and it got me no where. It is a loosing approach to life.
Now I try to show unconditional love to my wife, which to some would seem very similar, but I can see the differences. My wife really loves the acts of devotion and things I do for her, much more to the nice guy approach of giving into what she wants.
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
