Would I be happier with someone else?

Knowing when to QUIT or stick it out.

Some might say that this is the season of quitting. I mean not winter per se but since the pandemic started people have been “quitting” en mass. Ester Perell calls this time the “relationship reckoning,” due to people quitting their relationships. This time period has also been called the Great Resignation due to millions of people re-evaluating their work lives to make the decision to leave their current jobs in search of, well, something better.

I am horrible at making choices. Uncertainty, for me, is like being stuck in quicksand - my brain just shuts down and I do nothing. Shyness takes over in hard conversations. Overthinking turns into its own sort of paralysis. And yet, I want to be a person of action. This week, I am so so so very excited to chat with Annie Duke about her book, Quit: The Power of Knowing When To Walk Away. Annie’s Bio here.

This week we have a few copies to giveaway. if you or someone you know is having a hard time with making a decision, comment here to be entered into the giveaway:

(there will be an opportunity later in the week for non-paying subscribers to enter - stay tuned!)

But the question, the big one, when to know when to quit, let’s get back to that. I am going to evaluate my marriage using expected values to help me decide if I should stay or leave.

Who here questions their current relationship? Be honest. Try not to judge yourself for thinking whatever comes up. I think questioning things is part of checking in with life and yourself.
