6 Common Mistakes in Arguments with Your Partner
Let’s talk about fighting.
Not the chairs-flying, expletive-laced, cops-at-the-door kind of fighting. I mean the subtle, everyday skirmishes. The ones where your partner says something small, and next thing you know, you’re both rehashing that one thing from three months ago that neither of you has truly forgiven.
Yeah, that kind of fighting.
The Most Important Financial Decision You’ll Ever Make
People love pretending that getting rich is just about numbers. They obsess over budgets, investment apps, Roth IRAs, and whether buying a daily latte is the reason they’ll die broke and alone.
But let me hit you with something that doesn’t get said enough: The biggest financial decision you’ll ever make isn’t what stock to pick, or whether to buy or rent. It’s who the hell you choose to marry.
Seriously. Your partner can either be your biggest financial asset… or your most soul-crushing liability.

The Dumping Grounds
“I like him but get second hand embarrassment”
I’ve been dating a 34-year-old man for six months. One-on-one, we really click — we share similar values, traditions, and long-term goals. But I’m hesitant to introduce him to my family and friends because, in group settings, his behavior often comes off as cringey and immature.
He constantly brags about money, especially when comparing himself to people who went to university — I have a master’s degree, and he didn’t attend college. He’ll go on about how much wealthier he is than his family and how jealous they supposedly are, even though they seem like kind, normal people. I’ve gently tried encouraging more humility, but it hasn’t landed.
No One Is Busier than Someone Who Isn’t Interested in You.
Let’s clear something up real quick.
If someone wants to talk to you, they will.
If someone wants to see you, they’ll make time.
If someone wants to date you, they’ll act like it.
Everything else is noise. Everything else is you making excuses for why they’re not treating you like a priority.
And let me guess — you’re still refreshing your texts, rereading the last message like it’s a verse from a sacred scroll, trying to decode why it’s been 3 days and all you got was “lol yeah.”
Stop Negotiating Your Self-Respect
Let me be clear: your self-respect is not a coupon.
It’s not up for debate.
It’s not a tradeable asset.
It’s not something you slide across the table with a fake smile and say, “Okay, but what do I get in return?”
Self-respect is a boundary. A line. A spine.
It’s the thing that tells the world: This is who I am. This is what I tolerate. And this is where I stop giving a f*ck about your opinion.
And yet… we negotiate it. Constantly.
“My wife met up with another man”
My wife’s been distant lately. We’ve had problems before, but this feels different. I tried to connect with her recently—nothing. I suggested we spend the day together, but she said she wanted to go to the library and work on her book.
Then she got dressed up—full makeup, perfume—and her phone lit up with a message from a guy I didn’t recognize:
“I’ll be waiting for you in bed. Bring me a coffee, please.”
