The ego keeps score
Holcomb brings up some common relationship disputes – about spending money, and spending time – and how the ego-driven individual handles them by keeping exact score of the quantifiable things, rather than tending to the emotional elements that really matter. “For example, a disagreement about ‘who should pay for the pizza this time’ can quickly escalate into a tedious recalling of past expenses and who has spent more money overall in a relationship. This can also be applied to time. An ego-driven response would say, ‘I’ve showed up to x, y, and z events for you, but you have not supported me since ____.’”
