Scenario

When couples' careers create environmental value conflicts

My partner works in tech and gets defensive when I bring up the carbon footprint of their company's AI training models and I work for an environmental nonprofit and they think I'm being preachy. We care about the same things but we can't talk about the intersection of our work lives without it becoming personal.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love requires holding space for contradiction, but some contradictions ask us to ignore what we know to be true.
