This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 160 sitting here with Echo Charles and a stack of questions from the troopers.

So let's get into it.

Hopefully helpful life advice by the way. Oh, there's definitely some good life advice today.

Right on. Okay. Hi, Echo and Jocco. You both seem to be pretty good husbands how long would you

fight to save your marriage from divorce if you felt like the other person wasn't trying my wife

acts completely different than she used to in my mind she's having a midlife crisis after 15

years of supporting me and my military service,

my wife became fed up and started focusing on her own happiness, which didn't include me.

She took control of her life, but doesn't want a divorce, probably because of our three kids.

She's 44 and goes out about twice a month, sometimes late. She stopped

inviting me places, Halloween parties, concerts, hockey games. Even on our dates, she brought a friend.

I've worked on her complaints, texting more, bringing her coffee, being more thoughtful, but after two years

it hasn't helped. Marriage counseling feels like complaining in circles. I believe most women would

be happy with me, but she's jaded from years of what she sees as neglect. I still want to

fight for this marriage. She cries sometimes, so I know she still cares.

Jiu-Jitsu, which I started six months ago, is my main source of happiness right now.

Check.

So what are we going to do here?

How long were we fight?

Okay, first of all, it's something, you know, take ownership of, you know, what did you do wrong in the past?

Sounds like you're taking ownership of that.

You're trying to fix some of the shortfalls that you had.
