Dad Starting Over

Dear DSO: I'm A Winner And My Wife Is A Loser!


Listen Later

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:

  1. Military deployments can cause couples to grow apart, especially if one partner struggles to cope with the challenges of being left behind.
  2. Hyperachieving individuals often thrive as entrepreneurs and may struggle in traditional employment settings.
  3. 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."
