Yes, we're fighting less now. We did two things. We learned each other's love languages. I recommend that. There's five of them. They're gifts, words, service, time, and affection. My love language is words. Her love language is gifts, words, service, time, and affection. Yahtzee⁽¹⁾. Yes.

We also got a cat. He is the love our life. Yes, his name is Password. My girlfriend works in cyber security, and the most commonly used password is "Your pet's name", and I didn't feel like changing mine, so Password -- it stays. Thank you.

Everything I'm doing could be summed up by her at a dinner party, being like, "Honey, honey, come show them your little trick. Come on. Do one of your little skits." Isn't that precious?

It's changed my motivations. I used to work out for fitness. Now I work out for job security. I got to keep this ass tight. If I get shredded⁽⁶⁾, so does the prenup. That's my thinspo⁽⁷⁾.

She has not figured out how much power she now has over me. She asked me recently, "Would you ever leave me?"

And I said, "It would have to be a competitive offer. I'm not jumping ship for nothing. Not trying to be some entry level F-boy, freelancing with no health insurance."
