Episode notes
Behavior Reveals True Commitment
- Do recognize behavior as a language that reveals true intentions.
- If a partner withdraws commitment while you sacrifice, stop offering more of yourself to prove the relationship.
Assets Change The Power Dynamic
- Wealth and asset structure change relationship risk and negotiation needs.
- Big family business assets and leveraged debt require explicit agreements before marriage.
Don't Accept Undefined Unpaid Work
- Avoid unpaid, undefined roles in a partner's business without formal pay or title.
- Insist on clear compensation, job description, and separate finances instead of a credit card as 'security'.
