F.I.P.S.
Frogs in pots is when you're stuck in a bad situation and you don't notice it getting worse until it's too late and you're just a cooked frog with no escape.
I stayed in that job for 5 years. I was the frog in the pot. Now I'm just a cooked frog with no job and no pride.
My ex kept coming back, and I let her. Now I'm the cooked frog with no life and no dignity.
My friend's parents fought for 20 years. They were the frogs in the pot. Now they're both just cooked and dead.
