I have been battling with being the Nice Guy for so long. Been married for 5 years with two kids. I try to keep up appearances by denying that I am a bit of an Egotist. If a girl smiles at me, it makes me feel good, but I think that is the wrong reaction. I want to keep my Ego, even though it is not what I feel like I should be doing. I lie about dumb crap to keep up this visaed of being the Nice Guy, but my Ego is not a Nice Guy thing. The Ego is more of an average self-centered guy. How come I am fighting back the Ego, yet I am still "friends" with it? It is ruining my marriage, and I have been outright lying about how I feel. I want to be this Nice Guy, yet I let me Ego get away with stuff that is not appropriate. Why am I having to even fight with this Ego?! Why can't I seem to override it? Is it because I am not open and honest? Or is it just that much of me that I can't control it? Do other guys try to ignore this, or do they just give up, embrace it, and become the stereotype?
