Two Builders

Two Builders. Nothing stays broken for long, and nothing gets felt for long either.

How two Builders carry hard things together: where you’re good, where it rubs, and what to say.

Find out which you are

About a minute of quick taps. Then send it to them.

Where you’re good together

Nothing stays broken for long with you two. You’re a formidable team when there’s something to handle.

Where it rubs

Two plans collide, and whoever isn’t in charge feels managed. Rest looks like slacking to both of you.

What helps

One of you is off duty tonight. Say which. The other gets to not be fine without a plan for it.

Either of you might say

“I’m off duty tonight. Can you be too?”

Or

“This one isn’t ours to fix. Let’s leave it.”

Loving a Builder

If you love a Builder

  • If you just want them to listen, say so in words. They’ll switch gladly once they know.
  • Tell them plainly when they’re running themselves into the ground. They won’t notice on their own.

About Builders

The Builder

When everyone else is falling apart, you’re making the list. “People think you don’t feel it. You feel it. You’d just rather do something about it.”
