Nothing is wrong. No fights. No betrayal. Just a relationship that stopped asking anything of you — and that’s why it feels heavy.
Nothing is technically wrong, but you’re exhausted anyway. Not from conflict — from staying quiet to keep the relationship stable. If things only work when you edit yourself, that’s not peace — it’s emotional management.
The business works because you’re always on. If you slow down, things wobble—because what you built runs on your vigilance, not structure. That’s not leadership. That’s a system that never learned to stand on its own.
You call it drive. I call it destruction. Doing it all doesn’t make you strong — it makes you exhausted, resentful, and one decision away from burning your business to the ground.
