Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: How do you go back to your long-term marriage that needs work once you've become infatuated with someone who reminds you of all the things your partner is not? As we learned in episode 499 with Kimberly Seltzer, boundaries are imporant. But how do we know if we're closing ourselves off with too many boundaries? If you're an educator who's had to make countless compromises, it's hard not to become jaded when work politics hamstring the passion that got you into your field in the first place. Is there a way to realign your perspective and avoid the mounting bitterness you've been feeling about your job before you just leave it all behind for good? Some fan mail we get goes beyond the scope of our expertise, and we have to recommend professional help. Kimberly Seltzer gets another mention here for her in-depth episode about how to find a therapist. We wholeheartedly encourage everyone who listens to this show to put a plan of action in place and stick to it. Start small, as even the tiniest daily improvement will snowball into a core-level identity shift that will improve your life and the lives of those around you forever. A quick shoutout to Brandon Monk, the woodworker in L.A. who made my new audio desk -- which is amazing! It's all solid walnut. Hand made. It's absolutely beautiful and is officially the nicest piece of furniture I have ever owned. Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

life. Well, last, here I am writing to you about one of the most common topics. Here's

1:00.3

what's going on. My wife and I took a break a few months ago. She was fine with our relationship

1:04.7

but I wasn't happy. Our sex life had diminished once every month or two, which is mostly due

1:09.1

to her antidepressants that she's been on for about 15 years. During the short break,

1:13.2

I met someone. I wasn't looking for it, but it just sort of happened. I regrettably

1:17.5

spent some time with her and she's amazing. Now my wife wants to get together, make things

work, and see a counselor. I want to make things work, but now that I met this other person,

1:25.8

I find myself picking out and bringing up all the things my wife has done wrong in our

relationship. I can't stop thinking about this other person, and I know that it's infatuation,

but now I can't help but to see all of the flaws in the relationship with my wife. Do
