1. A 6 year time investment/lots of emotional investment in a relationship, once we realized I wanted kids and adventure, she wanted no kids and stability.
2. 2.5 year time investment in a startup, as well as ~$50,000 of others money, as well as a lot of emotional and identity investment, after our deals fell through and we realized that there wasn’t enough demand to sustain us without those deals.
5. A 5 year time investment in a small business, after I realized I couldn’t have the impact I wanted working on it.
