  • 1000% this. You so frequently see relationships fail because they never established a solid foundation of communication.

    I also believe that you should be each other’s safe person. If you have good open communication where no judgment is passed, you’ll not only learn more about your partner, but provide a safe space you both talk about literally anything.









  • I know I have friends, but they’re all technically my wife’s friends and their husbands. We probably socialize once or twice a month, depending on schedules. I love them all, but I have no friends that I socialize with 1:1. It’s always a group event. So in a way it feels like I have no friends.

    The one friend that is truly and originally my friend, since middle school, I’ll see maybe once a month if I’m lucky and it’s usually a framily event with our wives and kids. And the time and distance apart feels wider than ever as we’ve gotten older.

    Socializing at 40 is… different, and oddly lonely.
