My business partner and I are both workaholics who keep saying we need to remember that life is finite and work less, but we're paralyzed because our entire relationship is built around shared intensity and we don't know who we'd be together if we actually slowed down. Every time we try to implement boundaries we end up in this weird space where we're both pretending to care less while secretly staying just as obsessed.
More people experience this than they realize.
You both know life is short but your entire dynamic depends on forgetting this truth.
