Dear DSO: I'm A Winner And My Wife Is A Loser!
In this episode, DSO responds to a letter from Nate, who is feeling drained and frustrated in his marriage. After a long military career, Nate has come to realize that his wife is lazy, unambitious, and constantly negative. He has recently started focusing on self-love and personal growth, but his wife's behavior is wearing him down mentally. DSO offers two options for Nate: either his wife needs to join him in his positive mindset and make an effort to improve the relationship, or Nate may need to consider moving on to a new chapter in his life without her.
Key Takeaways:
- Military deployments can cause couples to grow apart, especially if one partner struggles to cope with the challenges of being left behind.
- Hyperachieving individuals often thrive as entrepreneurs and may struggle in traditional employment settings.
- Discarding negative influences from your life can lead to significant improvements in mental and physical health, as well as personal and professional success.
Quotes:
- "You're Mr. Winner, and you're looking over your wife saying, 'You going to join me?' And her answer is, 'Nope.'"
- "When you discard negative people from your life, things really start to click for you."
- "You owe it to her to give her a chance to work through this, but if not, it's time to call it quits."
