If you all aren’t paying attention to the wisdom Josh is spitting on these topics because he’s just some “ticked off divorced dude” you are doing yourself a huge disservice.
If the message coming from someone who has never been divorced and enjoys the heck out of his 3 decade+ long marriage here you go - I’d say he’s absolutely correct - it is simply being pragmatic about the real world - and the more you lean into the raw truth of it the more easily you can navigate it.
If you’re a wife who isn’t invested in pursuing your best self because you expect your husband to be some better version of himself worthy of your investment first - be careful what you wish for.
If he gets too far out in front of you it might be game over before you can catch up once you realize he expects you to catch up or be left behind for good.
If you’re a husband who is blessed with a wife who is investing regardless of what you are doing you need to match and even better exceed her investment , or you might find yourself on the receiving end of the family court system.
“But Rob, vows were said. It’s not a race and it’s highly immoral to look at it that way”.
Agreed - that doesn’t make it any less the reality of what is actually happening in many many modern marriages where the state has made your marriage vows illegal and unenforceable.
The best way for you to never have to contemplate the morality is to never put yourself in the position to have to in the first place. You do that by continual good faith investment in your given role, be it husband or wife.
Do you want to do marriage the easy way or the hard way? -R

If your partner suggests an open relationship, it is rarely a sign of emotional maturity. Often, it is a sign she is already detached and preparing to leave, using the arrangement to offload domestic expectations while she moves on. #Relationships#Truth
Smart. The next two years must be spent righting the ship ahead of 2028.
You think things are bleak now? Losing the presidency in 28 would be catastrophic.
How did tens of thousands of Haitians wind up in Springfield, Ohio? NYT bestselling author @JoshuaLisec joins me to discuss his new book.
(0:52) Joshua's origin story
(11:40) How did so many Haitians end up in a small Ohio town?
(17:12) Patronage angle and mass immigration
(22:53) Big business Republicans are complicit
(26:02) Were Haitians really eating the dogs and cats?
In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we consider whether mass immigration is turning America into a Lovecraftian nightmare. I mean, Lovecraft experienced cosmic horror when encountering the Polish, and we’re importing Haitians who practice voodoo, so I think he would agree with us.
Later, we talk about journalistic integrity and how the mainstream media hides its biases. At the end, I ask Joshua whether the Trump administration’s policies have had any effect on Springfield. Has this administration done enough? Tune in to find out.

I don’t believe in divorce but then it happened to me.
Imagine you scoff at believing in Santa Claus and then that SOB Saint Nick appears before you in the flesh and slam dunks a coal brick in your sock at-midnight on Christmas making Stephen Miller insomnia noises.
My life.
