AI keeps coming up at work, but you still don't get it?

That's exactly why 1M+ professionals working at Google, Meta, and OpenAI read Superhuman AI daily.

You are not “too much.” You are too vague. Plug the leaks and the relationship turns calmer within one week.

Framework

Step 1 - Map leaks in 20 minutes

  • List 5 recurring drains in the last 30 days time money energy access affection

  • Mark each as binary: allowed or not allowed with one exception per month max

Step 2 - Set the 2 request rule for change

  • Make 2 clear requests in 7 days for the same behavior and track the response

  • If no improvement by Day 8, escalate to a consequence the other person can feel within 48 hours

Step 3 - Install weekly caps

  • Time cap: 2 solo nights per week and 1 shared plan booked by Friday 5 pm

  • Access cap: phone silent during meals and sleep 7 hours minimum and no location sharing unless safety related

Standards on paper: 3 non-negotiables, 5 dealbreakers, 2 green flags
Cadence: Replies in 2 - 6 hours, follow-up in 24 hours, dates spaced 3 - 5 days

These caps remove ambiguity, reveal willingness to adjust within 7 days, and keep goodwill above 70 percent of interactions by Week 2, which you can operationalize with the The 90-Day Filter Playbook.

Quick Wins

  • Do a 10 minute calendar and cash review to find 2 leaks to close

  • Ask 3 questions about one pattern what happened what was needed what will change

  • End the next date at minute 90 even if it is great to prevent overextension

  • Confirm the next shared plan within 12 hours of agreeing on the category

  • Script: “I’m willing to do X once per week but not twice and if it repeats I will opt out next time”

If–Then Fallbacks

  • If the same boundary is crossed 2 times in 14 days, then pause intimacy for 7 days

  • If scheduling slips past 3 reschedules in 21 days, then stop proposing plans for 2 weeks

  • If boundary is crossed once, then immediate exit

  • If 2 green signals and 0 dealbreakers, then continue for 30 days

  • If messaging debates exceed 8 bubbles, then switch to a 10 minute call or exit

Closer

Boundaries are yes rules and no rules with clocks attached. When your standards are scheduled and counted, confusion fades and respect grows.

One Metric: By Day 10 - 4 boundaries named and 3 upheld with zero repeats. Else escalate or exit.

Proof over promises.
