Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her: Bryan Reeves on Presence, Responsibility, and the Work Men Avoid with Bryan Reeves

In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill sit down with Bryan Withrow Reeves—former U.S. Air Force captain, internationally respected men’s coach, and author of Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her—to explore a hard truth most men have never been taught to face:
Staying in a relationship without choosing your partner can be more damaging than leaving.
This conversation isn’t about relationship hacks or communication tricks. It’s about responsibility. Emotional presence. And the quiet ways men cause harm when they avoid discomfort instead of meeting it.

Bryan shares openly about a period in his own life where he stayed in a relationship he was no longer choosing. He wasn’t cheating. He wasn’t abusive. He wasn’t abandoning his responsibilities.
He was absent.
And that absence—emotional, energetic, relational—did real damage.
Presence isn’t proximity.
Commitment isn’t logistics.
