Intellect 2.0 Paperback edition

We defined what 'emotional cheating' means for us and set clear rules. The legal/ethical guidance kept me from crossing lines. I’d only add more examples for long‑distance couples.

I was spiraling. He was on his phone late and zoning out at dinner. I was sure there was someone else. I bought the book at 2 a.m. and started the 'intuition vs. anxiety' section.

I did the exercises for a week. I tracked sleep, cycle, workload, and actual evidence. No late-night transactions, no location lies, messages were mostly group chats about a certification exam he never told me about because he didn’t want to 'jinx' it.

The 'If you’re wrong' chapter helped me apologize without groveling. We set boundaries: phones away after 9 p.m., weekly check-ins, and he looped me in on his study schedule. My chest stopped hurting at night. We didn’t need drama—just a system.

I’m glad I didn’t confront him with nothing but panic. The book kept me from becoming the detective I never wanted to be.

The 'intuition vs. anxiety' exercises and one week of tracking showed no real red flags. We set simple phone boundaries and I finally slept. This book stopped a fight we didn’t need.
