Trying to make everything 50/50 is one of the fastest ways to ruin a relationship—especially if you’re a high performer.

Why?

Because life doesn’t operate in perfect balance.
It moves in seasons.

💥 Some seasons, you’re launching something big.
💥 Others, your partner is under pressure.
And when you both try to keep score on who’s doing what in the moment—it creates resentment instead of relief.

Here’s what works instead:

✅ Zoom out. Stop evaluating balance by the week. Look at the year—or the decade.
✅ Talk about the season you’re in. Are you in a push phase? Are they?
✅ Be willing to ebb and flow together—without keeping tally.

The healthiest relationships aren’t perfectly balanced every day.
They’re mutually supportive over time.

I shared this in a recent interview because high performers often try to run their relationship like a business—when what it really needs is compassion, communication, and the long view.
