It’s all about priorities. When you have less free time, you dedicate it towards what matters most to you. Clearly relationship doesn’t to your friends.

Definitely not impossible if you’re an open communicator and straight up about your work/life priorities.

I’ll say I’m married to a head hunter and they have crazier hours than I do. My perk is that i can wfh and he can’t meaning I’m always on dog duty...

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something.

Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
