It starts subtly.
You’re lying in bed next to someone you love. Maybe even someone you once obsessed over. The light hits their skin in that same familiar way. They reach for you. And instead of feeling excitement, or desire, or even warmth… you feel nothing. Or worse—you feel annoyed. Disinterested. Numb.

A good marriage isn’t something that “just happens.” It’s not the result of chemistry, luck, or choosing the perfect soulmate. And it certainly doesn’t stay strong because of a wedding ring or a shared last name.
A good marriage is built—intentionally, consistently, and with a deep understanding that love is not a feeling to be chased, but a daily choice to be made.
Let me be clear right out of the gate: being friends with an ex isn’t inherently wrong. Life is complicated. People grow. Some relationships end amicably. Some co-parent. Some work together. Some share friend groups. I get it.
But if you’re dating someone who’s still friends with their ex—and I mean actual friends, not just polite at mutual events—it’s worth pausing and asking a simple question:
“Why?”

Sunk Cost Analysisis a way of making decisions that ignores any costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered. These costs are known as “sunk costs.”

Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat this. If you want to make any real progress in your life, in your career, in your relationships – you’re going to have to do some seriously uncomfortable shit. There’s no way around it.

A job you thought you’d have forever? Gone.
A relationship you thought would last? Ended with a text.

There’s a line I think about often when it comes to personal finance:
“Small numbers can do big damage when they hide the big picture.”
Nowhere is that more true than when you’re buying something big—like a car, a house, furniture, even a new phone—and the seller asks, “What kind of monthly payment are you looking for?”

Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: you are not your thoughts.
You are not the horrifying image that popped into your head while you were brushing your teeth this morning. You are not the “what if I swerve into oncoming traffic?” thought that showed up uninvited while you were driving. And you’re not broken, crazy, or evil because your brain served up some dark, weird, or downright terrifying content.

You know the moment. You finally—finally—sink into the couch with a good book, or stretch out for a midday nap, or decide to scroll aimlessly through videos of dogs being dramatic on TikTok. And just as you start to exhale, that voice creeps in: Shouldn’t I be doing something more productive?

When you’re in the middle of an argument, the last thing you want to do is shut up and listen.
