#005 - Simon & Megi - The Honest Truth About Making Love Work

[Episode language: English] In this brutally honest episode, Megi and I get real about the ups and downs of our 3-year relationship — from relationship ratings, girlfriend vs wife criteria, why I tried to change her (spoiler: it didn’t go as planned), and much more. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, stuck with communication, or just want to know how we make it work, this is a raw look at how we’ve grown as individuals and as a couple. I’d love to know if you learn something from our lessons, and if you do, share it with your partner or that friend in need so that they don’t have to learn it the hard way. 00:00 Celebrating 3 Years Together! 05:44 Simon: Forbidden to Cook in the Relationship 09:37 Megi: Hates the Spotlight 13:14 Simon: How Would You Rate the Relationship (1-10)? 15:51 Megi: Why Do You Need to Change Me? 22:04 Simon: Only Make the Changes You Want to Make 24:38 Megi: I Accept My Partner as They Are 31:05 Simon: How Girlfriend Criteria and Wife Criteria Differ 35:57 Megi: Growth Mindset, Goal-Oriented, and I Smile Too Beautifully 39:47 Megi: Chill European Ass 42:08 Megi: The Desire to Improve Had to Come from Myself 44:43 Simon: How about You Quit Your Job? 52:59 Megi: I Need to Get My Sh*t Together 57:31 Simon: Do You Want to Be A Sugar Baby? 01:01:43 Simon: Megi's 3 Phases of Change 01:13:14 Megi: I'm No Gold Digger 01:17:23 Simon: Self-Identity - The Most Powerful Behavior Shaper 01:25:03 Simon: Try Hard.
