Why Resentment Ends Marriages (And Why It Usually Ends With an Affair) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're resentful of your partner right now, Katarina Polonska wants to tell you something most people won't: it makes complete sense. And that's exactly why it's dangerous. In this episode, she explains why resentment rarely ends a marriage directly. It ends it by quietly making you available to someone else, before you've consciously decided to do anything at all. She's watched this exact pattern end marriages, and she's watched it get caught early enough to change course. The difference is
Before You Call It Quits: 5 Things to Do Before Ending Your Marriage (opens the original)

In this episode, Katarina Polonska walks through the five signs of that quiet drift. The low-conflict marriage you might even be proud of, where the peace is really an unspoken agreement to keep everythi
Should I Stay or Should I Go? The 3 Things to Do Before You Decide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's 2am and you're replaying the fight from three weeks ago. You've run the pros and cons list a thousand times. You've asked yourself "should I leave my partner?" more times this year than you'd admit out loud. And you already know that asking again isn't going to change anything. In this episode, Katarina Polonska explains why that question keeps looping: it's being asked before the three inputs that would let you actually answer it exist. She walks through building all three, in the order th
