A love story can look solid on the outside and still fracture in the quiet hours. We open up about how a decade of loyalty, drive, and shared goals slowly bent under the weight of identity shifts, corporate pressure, and a move that erased our community. Abby and Megan retrace the path from Bentonville meet-cute to an Atlanta executive apartment where letters on countertops replaced conversations and intimacy turned into red light, green light. It’s raw, sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, and entirely human.

You’ll hear how a health-coaching calling collided with expectations for corporate ambition, why context matters when a couple relocates without their support system, and how small resentments become a script when they’re never named out loud. We talk about the Nashville landmine, the six-point grievance list, and the moment money and control took center stage. There’s also the messier middle: the intermittent tenderness after hard words, the journal that kept reality straight, and the way humor and faith became armor when logic didn’t land.

This story isn’t legal advice. It’s an honest lens on divorce dynamics: the cost of carrying all the blame, the danger of excusing outbursts as one-offs, and the quiet power of documenting, setting boundaries, and choosing yourself without becoming hard. If you’ve ever felt whiplash from mixed signals, you’ll recognize the pattern, and the relief of stepping off the ride.
