Relationship advice?

I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won't budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?

"Legibility" 😆
How has no one else screamed "HE MEANS ELIGIBILITY!" ??
- I think he means "legibility" as in being more clear, upfront, honest, open. It's still a weird way to use the word
  
  I don't think so. Because in a world of greater ELIGIBILITY, (a world of greater amounts of dateable fuckable people), everyone would be constantly "trading up" on relationships. But the world is NOT full of ELIGIBLE (dateable fuckable) people. Most people are happy if they can find ONE eligible (dateable fuckable) person, so they stick with them.
  
  I know for a fact he meant "legible". I've read a lot of his work and talked a great deal with people in the rationality community, and legible makes perfect sense there.
