Scenario

When couples get trapped in cycles that prevent commitment to change

My wife and I promised each other we'd stop complaining about our jobs and either find new ones or accept where we are, but six months later we're still having the same conversations and I think we're using each other as an excuse to stay stuck because changing feels too risky.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are unconsciously using their shared complaints as a way to avoid the vulnerability and uncertainty that real change would demand.
