I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won’t budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?

    Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

      I had a boyfriend who early on told me if he won the lottery, I would no longer be part of his life.

      Then guess what happened? I got a ridiculous family inheritance and he was no longer part of my life.

      Yea I would have this conversation with my partner but as a joke that we’d both find amusing.

      As a great philosopher once said: happiness isn’t having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got.
